Murat Bernard "Chic" Young (January 9, 1901 – March 14, 1973) was an American cartoonist known primarily as the creator and original artist of the comic strip Blondie. His 1919 William McKinley High School Yearbook cites his nickname as Chicken, source of his familiar pen name signature.

In 1924, he began Dumb Dora, about brunette Dora who "wasn't as dumb as she looked." In the spring of 1930, after six years of seeing Dora increase in popularity, Young requested more money and strip ownership. This action led to the creation of Blondie.

The secret of a long and happy sex life?

Be healthy and be a man

Men and women are living longer than ever before, but are they still having sex?

Yes, say researchers in the US, but how often, and how enjoyable it is depends partly on their gender and partly on their state of health.

The researchers, from the University of Chicago, have also come up with estimates for how many years of sexually active life we have ahead of us – and the answer is arguably more positive for men than for women.

At the age of 30, men can expect to be sexually active for another 35 years compared to just 31 years for women, while at age 55, men’s sexual life expectancy is 15 years, compared to 10 for women.

This isn’t as bad news for women as you might think, because the research also suggests that they are less likely to think a lack of sex is a problem.

In the research published on bmj.com today, authors Stacy Tessler Lindau and Natalia Gavrilova used data from two representative research groups in the US. One group consisted of over 3000 men and women between the ages of 25 and 74 and the other included over 3000 men and women between 57 and 85 years of age.

Participants provided information about their relationship status and rated the quality of their sex lives and how often they had sex. They also rated the level of their general health between poor and excellent.

The results reveal that men are more likely to be sexually active, report a good sex life and be interested in sex than women. This difference was most stark among the 75 to 85 year old group, where almost four out of ten males compared to less than two out of ten women were sexually active. The gender difference was less apparent when people were married or had a long term sexual partner.

While sexually active life expectancy was longer for men, they lost more years of it to poor health than women did.

The authors say that some questions remain unanswered. “Overall, the study found that men have a longer sexually active life expectancy and that most sexually active men report a good quality sex life. In contrast, only about half of sexually active women reported a good quality sex life. This disparity, and its implication for health, requires further exploration.”

They add that sexually active life expectancy estimation is a new life expectancy tool than can be used for projecting public health and patient needs in the arena of sexual health. “Projecting the population patterns of later life sexual activity is useful for anticipating need for public health resources, expertise and medical services.”

In an accompanying editorial, Professor Patricia Goodson from Texas University says the research is both refreshing and hopeful. She says: “the study bears good news in the form of hope … the news that adults in the US can enjoy many years of sexual activity beyond age 55 is promising.”

But she too adds that more research is needed, particularly in the use of sexually active life expectancy as a public health tool. “For example, the measure sheds no light on the intriguing—and still poorly understood—question of why, even though they enjoy fewer years of a sexually active life, many women do not perceive this as a ‘problem’,” she adds.

Douchebags ['duchas vaginales']

20-examples-of-douchebags
More specific:
Species Name: Patheticus Oblivious
If you’ve ever thought about going postal inside an Abercrombie and Fitch, you are not alone.
The scourge of modern society, THE DOUCHEBAG has plagued mainstream culture for far too long and there seemingly is no end in sight.  THE DOUCHEBAG is an elusive creature.  Not due to an advanced form of intelligence, or any intelligence for that matter, but instead due to complete sense of obliviousness to the world around them.    You can’t turn around nowadays without seeing some douche nozzle sporting a popped collar, an ever so slightly tilted baseball cap, and a shit eating grin on their face that says, “Yeah, I’m awesome.”  Well guess what asshole, you’re not awesome.  In fact, you are the antithesis of awesome, and I wish you would just die already…in fact let’s imagine that you did die…Hell, lets imagine you all died…
In a world where THE DOUCHEBAG has gone the way of the dinosaurs:

• The stocks of Ed Hardy, Affliction, Axe Body Spray, and any proprietor of pink polo shirts plummet.
• Tribal armband and Chinese symbol tattoos revert back to those who are in an actual tribe or are Chinese.
• The percentage of orange-tinted meathead oompa loompas walking around is greatly reduced, which is a relief, because frankly, you’re scaring the children.
• The word “bromance” will cease to exist in the English lexicon.
• The only acceptable use of a “Calvin pissing” car sticker would be if Calvin happened to be pissing in a DOUCHEBAG’S open mouth.
• If we’re lucky, we might be able to kill two birds with one stone, making fraternities extinct as well.
• Men at the gym will go back to focusing on working out, instead of telling their douchebag brethren how “shredded their pecks” are.
• Dane Cook will die a lonely death because no one will find him funny anymore.
• Fewer inanimate objects will be harmed when there is no one left to punch them when they get angry.  “ORANGE HULK SMASH!”
• Bluetooth headsets would only be used when driving.
• Nickelback and Creed would never have played any venue other then their mom’s basement.
• Long Island will return to it’s natural, uninhabited state.
• The word “gay” will never again be used in a derogatory way, especially when watching UFC.  Irony…
• Men will never again purse their lips in a photo while throwing up a horizontal peace sign.
• Criss Angel, Spencer Pratt (and his flesh colored beard), and Joe Francis will somehow miraculously be spared from the DOUCHEBAG genocide only to spontaneously combust on national television for the whole world to watch…now that’s good TV.

Sounds like an ideal utopia…but alas, with the massive amounts of hair product and the protective layer of self tanner coating their entire body, THE DOUCHEBAG will probably manage to survive a nuclear holocaust like the cockroaches that they are.
But one has to have dreams right? 

Mujeres menos saludables prefieren hombres más masculinos

Less healthy women prefer more masculine men

Women who live in communities where poor health is the norm are attracted to more masculine-looking men, researchers in Aberdeen have found.

The lower the level of health in a country, the more women are likely to prefer faces with masculine traits, such as a bigger jaw, or heavier brow line.

Conversely, more feminine male faces tended to be preferred in European countries where health is better and people live longer.

The research, conducted by Aberdeen University’s Face Research Lab, is part of ongoing investigations into facial attractiveness and how women choose a mate.

“We looked at the preferences of nearly 5,000 women across 30 countries,” said researcher Dr Ben Jones, co-head of the Face Research Lab. “We found that women in areas where there are negative health consequences have a pronounced preference for people with masculine faces. But women in places which have a good healthy life expectancy – such as Scandinavian countries – like more feminine looking faces.

“A good example would be comparing Johnny Depp to Russell Crowe – the latter has a much more masculine face – and women tend to have a strong preference for one or the other.”
