"Men with deeper voices tend to have more children."

A study of the Hadza people in Tanzania found higher reproductive success and more children overall among men with deeper voices compared to men with high-pitched voices. Researchers have suspected that deeper voices are more attractive to women, but they selected the Hadza because their lack of birth control methods allows for a more direct link between measurable vocal pitch and number of children. Anthropologists suggest that either increased testosterone or the perception that deeper-voiced men are better providers could explain the findings.

Time to wake up!!

"Too much sleep is deadlier than not enough."

Sleeping fewer than six hours a night -- and over seven and a half hours a night -- can often be indicative of illnesses or even the cause of health problems. Researchers from British and Italian universities analyzed studies that covered more than one million people and found that those who slept fewer than six hours a night were 12% more likely to die before 65, but those who slept more than nine hours were 30% more likely to die prematurely.

"Doritos once paid a research facility to broadcast an ad into space."

Over a six-hour period in 2008, a Doritos advertisement was broadcast into space by the EISCAT Scientific Association, an international research organization based in Scandinavia. The high-powered radars directed the ad toward a star within a habitable zone that could theoretically support life in the distant Ursa Major constellation. The director of EISCAT conceded that since the ad was being sent as a binary MPEG file, it was rather unlikely to be decoded by extraterrestrial life, but he did defend the benefit to the institution -- pointing out that funding, even from commercial sources, still gets research done.

"By licking a postage stamp, you will pick up a nutritional content of around six calories."

According to the British Royal Mail, the nutritional content of a single adhesive stamp is 5.9 calories -- although presumably this figure is the caloric content of all the lickable adhesive on the entire surface of the stamp, and therefore a person's actual caloric consumption would be lower (which may explain the far lower U.S. Postal Service estimate of one-tenth of a calorie). The caloric content comes from the sugars present in the wood-based adhesive gum on these stamps, although they have become far less prevalent with the advent of self-adhesive stamps.

To Beer or not to Beer!!

"Beer keeps you younger, but may give you cancer."

There are notable health benefits associated with a moderate level of beer consumption: it raises HDL ("good cholesterol"), helps prevent cardiovascular disease, decreases the likelihood of dementia, and in general counteracts some of the risks of aging. Of course, all of this only applies when people drink in moderation (fewer than five drinks when one indulges; one to six beverages over the course of a week). However, averaging a drink a day also increases your risk for several types of cancer, including lung, liver, stomach, and prostate cancer.

"Many of the top Google search terms for 2010 were people searching for the Facebook login page."

The Google Zeitgeist top rising terms of 2010 were "iPad" (at No. 1) and "justin bieber" (at No. 2), but immediately thereafter were "fb," "facebook en espanol," and "www.facebook.com." Also in the top 10 were "facebook login" and "face" (the first result for which is also Facebook). In a bizarre incident early last year, an article entitled "Facebook Wants to Be Your One True Login" was posted by a website called ReadWriteWeb and briefly appeared first in the Google results for "facebook login" -- whereupon thousands of Googlers arrived at the article's comments section and tried confusedly to log into what they assumed was a new Facebook layout.

PAIN = LOVE..

"Scars are attractive to women looking for a fling."

Studies at the Universities of Liverpool and Stirling expected to find that facial scarring was generally perceived as unattractive in Western cultures; instead, they found that women find it an admirable trait in short-term relationships -- and even an indicator of masculinity and bravery. A lack of scarring did not, however, deter women in search of a long-term, nurturing relationship. Men found women with and without scars to be equally desirable in both scenarios

KISS MORE!

¨People are more likely to remember their first kisses than their first sexual experiences.¨

Research scientist Sheril Kirshenbaum, author of The Science of Kissing, writes that kissing's influence on brain chemistry is so significant that relevant kisses remain most people's most outstanding memories. According to Kirshenbaum, psychologist John Bohannon surveyed 500 respondents to determine their most significant life experiences, and nothing, "not even the subjects' loss of virginity," was as memorable as a first kiss.

Take off your shoes!!

"The average shoe carries over 420,000 bacteria."

If you ever needed a reason to remove your shoes when entering your house, this might be it, as the outer area of the average shoe -- especially the sole but elsewhere on the shoe as well -- carries with it an enormous population of bacteria.

""Happy Birthday"

"Happy Birthday To You" is the most recognizable English-language song in the world."

According to Guinness World Records, "Happy Birthday" takes the top spot as the most recognizable song in English, just ahead of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." The song dates back to 1893, when its melody was written by sisters Patty and Mildred Hill, originally to the lyrics "Good Morning to All." The sisters were not initially credited with inventing the song, and its disputed copyright now (probably) resides with Time-Warner, but the Hills were posthumously inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame.

"It is possible to be allergic to water."

Though not an allergy in the strictest sense, aquagenic urticaria acts -- in most respects -- like typical allergies in that it involves skin hives, itchiness, pain, and other adverse reactions when the victim comes into contact with a particular substance. Unusually, though, the allergen in this case is ordinary water, even a person's own tears. Aquagenic urticaria is extremely rare (with only about 30 reported cases) and untreatable: sufferers generally just have to dramatically limit their contact with water and drink only beverages that don't cause a reaction.
