Another Funny story:
Vying for man brings out worst in women: study The Canadian Press Date: Tuesday Nov. 22, 2011 3:50 PM ET TORONTO — A study suggests the catty behaviour seen on the popular reality TV show "The Bachelor" is pretty close to the truth. A University of Ottawa professor says her study -- published in the journal Aggressive Behavior -- confirms that most women use aggression against sexual rivals. Tracy Vaillancourt's research took a look at how females compete with one another for the attention of males. Her study suggests "The Bachelor" provides insight into the tactics women use to compete and shows how vying for the affections of an eligible man can bring out the worst in women. Such tactics can include gossiping about a rival's level of promiscuity or disparaging her appearance, so as to reduce her "mate value." Vaillancourt's study suggests that this type of behaviour is not only a TV phenomenon, but also a reality in schools and workplaces. Researchers conducted two experiments to examine the phenomenon. In the first, women were paired with a friend or stranger and randomly placed in one of two situations. One involved an attractive female peer who was dressed in a sexy outfit and the other was the same peer, dressed conservatively. In both situations, participants were secretly videotaped to capture their reactions. Meanwhile, other women were asked to rate each participant's reaction in terms of aggression. "We asked women who knew nothing about the context or reason for the person's reaction to rate how 'bitchy' (or not) they thought she was being," Vaillancourt said. Results showed that almost all women were aggressive toward the attractive female who was dressed in a sexually provocative manner. The study said the women in this situation were more likely to roll their eyes at their peer, stare her up and down and show anger while she was in the room. When she left the room, many of them laughed at her, ridiculed her appearance or suggested she was sexually available. However, when the same woman was dressed conservatively, the group barely noticed her and she wasn't discussed after leaving the room, the study said. The second experiment confirmed that the sexy colleague was indeed seen as a sexual rival by the other women, the study said. Results indicated the women did not want to introduce her to their boyfriends, allow him to spend time alone with her or be friends with her.

Now do people really need to be told this?
'Password' and 'letmein' among worst passwords ever The Canadian Press Date: Tuesday Nov. 22, 2011 3:49 PM ET TORONTO — Online security experts say there are a number of tactics to thwart hackers when it comes to passwords, including changing it regularly and using a hard-to-guess combination of letters, numbers, punctuation and symbols. But perhaps the best piece of advice is not to use "password" as your password. The California-based software company SplashData analyzed millions of stolen passwords that had been obtained by hackers and found some dangerously simple choices came up again and again. The most common was "password," followed by "123456," "12345678," "qwerty," "abc123," "monkey," "1234567," "letmein," "trustno1," "dragon" and "baseball." Users who have trouble remembering all their online passwords can buy software to automatically -- and securely -- log them into websites. SplashData's version is SplashID, while the Canadian company AgileBits makes 1Password. The full top 25 list of the worst online passwords, according to SplashData:

Hi there, Bandonov!
Regarding the rules...It's basically a RPG where each player is given a role and they make a particular move each day (hurt, heal, shield, move, etc). The team leaders assign the roles and give out daily orders. There's also a pretty in-depth story that sets up the game. Cobralalalala!, the game master, does a really good job with it. With that said...yeah, unfortunately, you're just a little bit late. We'd love to have you on our next roster, though. Can I mark your name down for the next game? I can PM you when the next game comes around. They take place every 7 weeks or so. Quote:
