But the man has got a pretty unique solution to this problem: he hired someone via Craigslist to slap him in the face if he went off task.His productivity went from 38% to 98% with the experiment.

The Japanese men who are seeking more and more ear cleaning parlors

Japanese associate ear-cleaning with their childhood and many of them are willing to pay to return to those carefree days if only for just a few minutes. That's what makes ear-cleaning salons one of the most popular businesses in Japan right now.

Ever since Japan authorities decided to deregulate ear-cleaning as a medical profession, making it available without a medical license, hundreds of salons offering the service started popping up all over the country. The vast majority of clients are men looking to relax their minds after a stressful day, and travel back to the days when they used to rest their heads on their mothers' laps for the occasional ear cleaning session. Three out of four clients claim it's so relaxing they actually fall asleep while the kimono-wearing cleaners excavate the wax out of their ears.

Women who want to work in ear-cleaning salons have to become masters of the “mimikaki” (traditional cleaning tool), so they go through a one week course to acquire the proper ear-cleaning skills. They have to learn to remove just the right amount of ear wax, because it protects the ear canal, lubricates it and has antibacterial and antiviral properties. If all the wax is removed the canal is left vulnerable to a variety of outside threats. (Link | Via)

The woman who charges $60 an hour for spooning

It used to be that a hug was a comforting gesture of companionship between friends or lovers but one woman in Penfield, NY has turned cuddling into a business. Jacqueline Samuel, 29, opened The Snuggery in June 2012, a place where, from upwards of $60, clients can snuggle with the petite Master's student in a strictly non-sexual context.

The company that offers grandmas for rent

Rent-a-Grandma is a real company in Texas and Virginia. Basically, it's babysitting with a clever if not compelling advertising pitch. The company hires older women with childcare experience to provide in-home care.

The email service that anonymously notifies about nose hair if you are too shy to do so

Some people hesitate to approach people and inform them that they should trim their nose hairs. Why? I have no idea. It appears to be some weird social taboo about commenting on other people's body hair. But now it's not necessary to speak up. Chololi, the nose hair email notification service, will send an anonymous message to someone who needs a reminder. (Link | Via)

The company that offers a mobile hangover service in a bus

Hangover Heaven is a pretty simple service to use. The bus runs between 8 AM and 3 PM every day. Once on it, you can choose between two packages. There's Redemption, including intravenous hydration, or Salvation, including intravenous hydration, anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory medications that have been proven to cure hangover effects, and vitamin supplementation. Well, you can't really escape the IV, so you've got to go in there prepared for needles. An appointment can be booked through their website or on the phone, and they will come get you. Once the treatment is complete, you will be dropped off at the same place where you were picked up. Other services include coffee and refreshments on request, and iPads with headphones for entertainment.

This service would be really appropriate to rent for your bachelor party. (Link | Via)

World’s Worst Hotel Warns Visitors Before They Arrive.

18:21 Epic, humor, Video

What’s the worst hotel you’ve ever stayed in? Never mind, it couldn’t have been any worse than the Hans Brinker Budget Hostel in Amsterdam, which actually prides itself on being the “world’s worst hotel”.

While most other hotels go out of their way to convince potential clients they have the cleanest rooms, the most comfortable beds and the most incredible views, the Hans Brinker hostel lets everyone know just how awful their accommodations are. Some of their most popular advertising slogans include: ”It can’t get any worse. But we’ll do our best” or “Improve your immune system – stay at Hans Brinker!” Pretty funny stuff and although a lot of people who stayed there confirm it’s pretty much all true, it apparently just adds to the charm of the place. Despite management’s best efforts to warn guests about the rudimentary facilities of their establishment, most of the hotel’s 511 beds in 127 rooms are occupied these days. Of course, the fact that no room costs more than €25 ($32) can be considered an incentive.

College Sweethearts Finally Marry Almost 50 Years After their Breakup!

23:34 Cool Stuff, Epic, Pictures

They say true love stands the test of time. And for Emilie Danielson, 70, and Terry Britton, 69, that has certainly proven true.On Nov. 11, 52 years after they originally met as college freshmen attending Chapman University in Orange, Calif., the blushing bride and her now very grateful groom finally said their "I do's" to one another.The couple first began dating in 1960 and admittedly fell fast and hard for each other."We would walk down to this tiny little church down the road and make out like crazy in the back of the pew," Danielson told ABCNews.com.

But over the years, although the passion was strong between them, they somehow lost touch and can't even explain today how or why it happened."We do not know how we lost touch. That's the weirdest thing," Danielson said. "We dated for two years. The second year we decided to leave and go to junior college to save money for a year. And then something happened, but we don't know what happened. We just don't remember."Neither of them have any recollection of a specific fight that tore them apart, but Britton was at least able to explain part of the reason they lost touch. As most young men in the 1960s did, he went into the Vietnam War, serving a year in Vietnam and three more years after that in Berlin. At the time, Danielson didn't even know he was overseas."We went on different paths because of life. That's how life happens," Britton explained. "Going to the war was quite an interruption, but I survived that."As time passed, Danielson went on to marry someone else, has since been widowed twice, and has three children and seven grandchildren. Britton, on the other hand, was never married.

"She corresponded by Christmas cards with my mother for 50 years. My mom didn't want her to even know that I was touring in the war."But unbeknownst to Britton, his mother had responded to one of Danielson's Christmas cards with a letter explaining that her son had always wanted to be with Danielson. However, Danielson was married at the time and was obviously not going to jeopardize that relationship. Nonetheless, she always held those words close.As more time elapsed, Britton's parents eventually passed away, and he temporarily moved to Arkansas to tend to their belongings and sort out their affairs.

"I didn't know his parents had died so I kept sending Christmas cards to their home in Arkansas," Danielson said. "I sent my usual picture of the family, but I didn't think too much about it when I didn't get one back."

But as fate would have it, Britton was the one that received the Christmas card revealing a picture of Danielson's face. It was the first time he had laid eyes on her since college.

"Terry received it instead because he had to move to his parent's house to help in Arkansas. He had to live there and inherited the home and had to straighten out business," Danielson said. "He received the letter I thought was going to his parents. So he sent me a letter back to my address saying 'Oh my goodness. My parents are gone, but I'd love to talk to you.'"

They finally gave each other a call, enjoyed many conversations reminiscing on old times, and decided it was best not to deny their feelings any longer.

"He said 'I want to marry you, but I think I should see you after 50 years,'" Danielson explained. "He said 'I'm afraid I don't look the same way I looked when I was 17.' He wanted to move back to California and us to be married."

Fast forward to June 10, 2012, when Danielson made the cross-country trip to Arkansas to visit Britton, and the rest as they say, is history.

"It's a god thing. There was some divine intervention in there," Danielson said. "He's the only being that could have ever put this together after all these years. It's beyond our wildest dreams. We had friends in the wedding that we knew in college. It was like a fairy tale come true."

The lovebirds moved back to Santa Ana, Calif., and were married in Waverly Chapel on Sunday.

"We never forgot each other," Britton quietly added.

The newlyweds left today for a brief honeymoon in Laguna Beach, Calif., before they have to hurry home to host Thanksgiving for Danielson's children and grandchildren.

Just when you thought Psy and his Gangnam Style was already everywhere, it seems you can order a side of Gangnam Style McShaker Fries in Malaysia.According to the instructions, all that's required is for the consumer to sprinkle the contents of the seasoning packet into the bag of fries, then close and shake it by doing Psy's “horse ride dance” from Gangnam Style. This would result in a bag full of McShaker “Gangnam Style” fries.

Man sues his wife for being ugly!

20:00 Epic, Video, Weird

A Chinese man divorced and then sued his ex-wife for giving birth to what he called an extremely ugly baby girl, the Irish Times reported.Initially, Jian Feng accused his wife of infidelity, so sure that he could never father an unattractive child.

When a DNA test proved that the baby was his, Feng's wife came clean on a little secret -- before they met, she had undergone about $100,000 worth of cosmetic surgery in South Korea.

Feng sued his ex-wife on the grounds of false pretenses, for not telling him about the plastic surgery and duping him into thinking she was beautiful, The Huffington Post reported.

The kicker? He won. A judge agreed with Feng's argument and ordered his ex-wife to split over $120,000."I married my wife out of love, but as soon as we had our first daughter, we began having marital issues," he told the Irish Times. "Our daughter was incredibly ugly, to the point where it horrified me."

Peperspray Iphone Case: Protect your self.

19:33 Cool Stuff, Epic

A mobile phone can be a real lifesaver in an emergency situation, don’t you agree? And now it also can be a self-defense weapon. The Spraytech Self-Defense iPhone Case includes a detachable pepper spray cartridge. Normally I question the practicality of “purse weapons” (like lipstick tubes with a hidden knife inside) but the idea behind this product seems pretty sound. Not only do you always have your phone nearby, you might already have it in hand to call 911 if you’re in a dangerous situation. (Unlike the situation where someone attacks you and you go, “Wait, wait, I have to put some lipstick on first.” and then you stab them.) If you’re a doubter you might be saying “But couldn’t you accidentally mace your friends while updating Facebook statues?” Nope. The case features multiple safety mechanisms so you’ll never accidentally trigger the spray. Really awesome stuff, let us know what you think?

Sushi-scented cologne!

19:19 Cool Stuff, Epic, Weird

For all you sushi lovers out there, guess what? there is a sushi-scented cologne. Food colognes should make a lot of sense. Food smells good. Perfumes and colognes also smell good. So why is it that every time I try to imagine a sushi-scented cologne, I get dizzy and seasick!

But if you’re totally fine with pissing everyone off within a 3 foot radius, this Sushi cologne by Demeter has apparently been around for a while now. Which shouldn’t be too surprising, considering their scent repertoire includes such concoctions as Dirt, Crayon and Laundromat.

According to the cologne’s website, “Sushi” doesn’t actually smell like fish per se, consisting instead of “just cooked sticky rice and straight from the seaside seaweed, laced with hints of ginger and lemon essences.” But anything outside of a Japanese restaurant that reminds me I’m not currently eating sushi is still enough to be annoying.

What do you think? would you buy one and try it out?

Boyfriend Tattooed A Steaming Pile Of Poo On His GF Back because She Cheated!

22:54 Epic

Rossie Brovent, from Dayton, Ohio, was said to be seeking $100,000 (£60,000) in damages after Ryan Fitzjerald ‘tricked’ her into getting A tattoo.It was reported she was expecting a scene from the Narnia trilogy but her dream design backfired when Fitzjerald found out she’d been cheating on him with his best friend.She was said to have claimed he tricked her by drinking 'a bottle of cheap wine' and downing tequila shots with her before she signed the consent form. “Actually I was passed out for most of the time, and woke up to this horrible image on my back,” she was reported as saying.

Ms Brovent apparently tried to have him charged with assault - but there were no police or court records of the incident and no one of that name could be tracked down in Dayton. It has now arisen that the picture of the tattoo appears to have been sourced from Polish social network site Nasza-klasa.

Earlier this year, 41-year-old Jacqui Moore celebrated her divorce by allowing her new lover to give her a ‘full bodysuit’ tattoo.

Only her left armpit, half her right leg and most of her face are uncovered – but she hopes to get that inked next spring. “I went to get a new tattoo to symbolize my freedom and the new chapter in my life,'”she explained.

The Heart Attack Grill!

19:05 Epic, Pictures, Video

his bar serves delicious burgers at the lowest prices. However, the title of the bar sounds pretty odd – “Heart Attack”, and at every turn you see posters on medical subjects.

Waitresses of the bar are dressed as nurses, and the owner as the doctor. This unusual Restaurant is located in the town of Chandler in Arizona. “Heart Attack” is known by its hospital theme and delicious burgers. In the photo: waitress Mary with burger- “quarter-bypass surgery.”

Burger on a photo to the right contains 10,000 calories, a world record for burgers. According to some information in the past year, two diners had heart problems after eating this burger. More recently, in the branch “Heart Attack” in Las Vegas, a woman eating a burger, washing it down with margaritas, and lighting a cigarette was hospitalized after she was found on the floor of the bar.
