The fact that some men are desperate for female companionship is not exactly groundbreaking. But just how desperate are these desperate men? One man went to find out.

Fellas. Fellas? Fellas. I know how it is out there on the "battlefield of love" in this modern world, so to speak: the rules have changed. It's hard to keep up with what's "politically correct" these days in the wild and wooly dating arena. Can you compliment a coworker? On her outfit? Or her eyes? Or her ass? Can you touch her ass while doing so? How about her tits? Is she allowed to drive? To vote? What are the "rules?" You'd need a spreadsheet to keep it all straight. Fear not, homeboys (slang for "friends"): here are the new rules of flirting.

U.S. News & World Report reports that David Petraeus' mistress Paula Broadwell "recently" lost her North Carolina driver's license in Washington D.C.'s Rock Creek Park, where it was discovered by a jogger, thus plunging this story further into Robert Ludlum thriller cliche. Whether the license was found before or after the scandal broke and Broadwell vanished from public view is crucial information for properly calibrating our conspiracy-o-meters, but there is currently no word on exactly when the license was discovered. Park police told U.S. News they were keeping the license for 90 days before sending it back to North Carolina if it remained unclaimed.

There are a few simple rules of first-world hygiene. Don't share needles. Abide by the five-second rule. And under no circumstances* are you allowed to eat in a public bathroom.

If we learn one thing from the November scandals, it will probably be that no one should ever communicate with another person if they desire sex with them. Especially via email.

Among the reasons why you can't bring yourself to cut off your expensive cable TV: it might not save you any money.

Earlier this month, James Dolan's Madison Square Garden Company drew fire when we revealed it was demanding all its New York City-area employees, many of whom were still suffering the damages of Hurricane Sandy, to either report to work or use their vacation time. Today, Dolan's other company, Cablevision, is taking a similar tack when it comes to having sympathy for Sandy's victims.

And we would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for those meddling "urbans."

Looking to cheat on your spouse but worried about damning your immortal soul to swim in a lake of fire for all eternity by breaking the commandment that expressly prohibits committing adultery? Good news!
