      Ex-Aide Claims Ménage à Trois With McGreeveys

      Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey's wife Dina was all over the media last week blasting Eliot Spitzer for hypocrisy and empathizing with this aggrieved wife. That was too much for Teddy Pedersen, a former McGreevey driver and aide who says  “she’s out there being as dishonest as anyone could be.” Pederson says Dina had to know her hubby was gay all along because Pedersen had three-way sex with the couple on numerous occasions.

      Put Your Honey Where Your Mouth Is

      From a peck on the cheek to "get a room"-level PDA, kissing is everywhere, but for an activity common to almost every culture, it's remarkably underscrutinized, reports the Washington Post . One study of college student kissers found that men see kissing mostly as a precursor to sex, while women pay careful attention to taste and smell, possibly using kissing to assess potential mates.

    • 'Caffeinated' Workout May Cut Cancer

      'Caffeinated' Workout May Cut Cancer

      New research suggests that drinking coffee, combined with regular exercise, speeds up the killing off of cells damaged by ultraviolet-B radiation. Researchers at Rutgers University specifically examined UVB apoptosis — the programmed death of cells that become damaged by ultraviolet rays – in hairless mice. This sort of cell-suicide helps prevent the formation of deadly melanoma skin cancer. The mice were divided into four groups for the study. The first group drank the equivalent of one or two cups of coffee per day. The second group exercised regularly on a running wheel. The third had both caffeine and exercise, and a fourth group had neither. The rate of cell suicide was 400 percent greater in mice that both drank caffeine and exercised, when compared to the control group, the researchers say. When combined, caffeine and exercise also “markedly” decreased tissue fat in the mice. More »
