Fear makes us act irrationally. That's kind of its "thing."

Last week, we asked you how you reconcile the precarious position of having to buy a gift for someone you hate. This was a joke question that brought out a lot of truth, which was nice. Thank you for sharing your stories and suggestions. I do not hate you for that and would buy you a straightforwardly nice gift if I knew you. Our favorites are below.

Yoko Ono has collaborated with Opening Ceremony on a fashion line for men that is unwearable even by Opening Ceremony's standards. Yoko Ono Fashions for Men 1969-2012 "is based on a book of hand-drawn illustrations that Yoko presented to John Lennon on the occasion of their wedding." It mostly concerns itself with emphasizing things like shoulders, nipples, inner thighs and crotches. You know, all the erogenous zones where men like to be kissed and dab perfume. If these are true to Ono's 43-year-old sketches, they are nothing less than visionary because they look straight out of club-kid hell. They are the apparel equivalent of that high-pitched, "Whoomp whoomp!" (or "Whoot whoot!" depending on your region) yelp party people unleash when they are having the best time on the dance floor.

Bad news if you were planning on having a baby any time soon. Jessica Simpson is having all the babies now, so you'll have to take a number (and numbers 1 – 1000 are Jessica Simpson).

Let us stipulate, as gentlemen and gentlewomen, that food can generally be divided into two separate and distinct categories: Sweet foods, and Salty (or Savory) foods. Accepting momentarily this fundamental bifurcation, we turn our attention, as we do so often, to nuts. Nuts. Are they a salty food, or a sweet food? The answer is not so simple.

Gawker's Better State of Living Conversation series is brought to you with the support of State Farm^TM. Today, dating expert Chiara Atik is live in the comments to answer your questions about holiday gift giving.

Corporate executives at public companies are allowed to buy and sell stock in their own company—but they are not allowed to buy and sell stock in their own company based on nonpublic information (information that they would know, but that the average investor would not). That would be insider trading, which is illegal. So why do executives seem to do far better than average when trading their own company's stock? HMMM.

Angus T. Jones may have apologized for his faith-based anti-Two and a Half Men rant, but that doesn't mean his fellow TV actors are about to let him live it down.

To see if people could tell the difference between Starbucks' new $7 Clover-brewed "Costa Rica Finca Palmilera" reserve coffee and the regular stuff, Jimmy Kimmel sent a staff member to the streets of Hollywood to pull the ol' "Folgers switcheroo" on unsuspecting passers-by.

Alleged "Killer Nanny" Yoselyn Ortega has pleaded not guilty to killing two children in their Upper West Side home.

Remember how everyone thought it might be weird for Demi Moore's daughters when she started dating young heartthrob Ashton Kutcher? Thoughts that were confirmed when Rumer Willis casually mentioned in an interview that she'd kept a picture of Ashton Kutcher on her wall before he started dating her mom?

New York City was damn-near Utopian earlier this week when not one report of a shooting, stabbing, or slashing was recorded in any of the five boroughs for just over 36 hours.

Check out this crazy cat, walking through Univision's weather report. You don't know the weather, cat! Heh. "There are several cats that have turned the Univision parking lot into their home and sometimes they make it into the studio," Univision explains.

A group of military women, all Iraq or Afghanistan veterans, are suing to force the US military to end its ban on women in "direct combat jobs," contending that A) women end up fighting anyhow due to the eradication of "front lines" in modern warfare, and B) the exclusion from formal combat assignments severely limits women's ability to ascend the military's career ladder. So, great. Let them fight!

With Psy's "Gangnam Style" having recently surpassed Justin Bieber's "Baby" to become the most-watch YouTube video to date, Bill O'Reilly decided to dedicate an entire segment to deciphering the driving force behind the music video's success.

It was somewhat disappointing, though not particularly surprising, when House Speaker John Boehner announced yesterday that the GOP's 19 House committee chairs will be occupied exclusively by white men starting next year.

Now that he's cornered the denim market, noted patriot Glenn Beck has set his sights on an even more lucrative business. As part of a bizarre campaign to prove the importance of the first amendment, Beck filled a jar with what he at first claimed to be urine (he later admitted it was beer) and then placed an Obama toy inside. He has plans to sell the "art," which Beck titled "Obama in Pee Pee," on his website for the reasonable price of $25,000.

Yesterday, actor Angus T. Jones appeared in a testimonial for Forerunner Christian Church, asking viewers to "please stop watching" his hit show Two and a Half Men because it's "filling [your] head with filth." While his assessment of his show was certainly accurate, the testimonial had far more to do with Jones's recent conversion to conspiracy-laden evangelicalism (Forerunner Christian Church's mission statement on Facebook: "THE FORERUNNER- is dedicated to proclaiming the TRUTH that you need to know! " TO LIVE & TO DIE FOR THE TRUTH" is the moto [sic], and Jesus Christ is our General. He gives the orders...we put in the work!") than it did with actual comedic taste.

Feeling a bit run down recently? Is your hair falling out or turning gray? Can't sleep? It could be from all those Facebook friends you've been hoarding.

When NYU sophomore Max Wiseltier received an email from NYU's Bursar office last night about a new, electronic tuition form, he wasn't sure what to do so, naturally, he forwarded the email to his mom. "do you want me to do this?" was his exact response. There was one small problem, though; instead of hitting "Fwd" he clicked "Reply all," accidentally sending the message to all 39,979 NYU students on the list.
