thedailywhat: Stereotype-Challenging Study of the Day: A British study billed as “the most comprehensive ever conducted on gender driving differences” has concluded that women are better at parking cars than men. The study, which relied on surveillence camera footage of over 2,500 drivers across 700 parking garages, was devised by professional driving instructor Neil Beeson, and produced by car park firm NCP. Among its findings: Women are better than men at tracking down spaces, lining up with the parking space, and reversing into spots “by the book.” Meanwhile, men are better at entering spaces while driving forward, and exhibit more confidence than their female counterparts, leading to quicker parking decisions. “The results also appear to dispel the myth that men have better spatial awareness than women,” said Beeson. “It shows that us men need to give our partners more respect when it comes to parking. The facts don’t lie.” [telegraph / photo: corbis.]

thedailywhat: Follow Up of the Day: Well, it was fun while it lasted, but it turns out that’s not Jon Leibowitz AKA Jon Stewart getting his mosh on at a 1982 Dead Kennedys show in Richmond, VA. The person in the photo is actually Red Cross/Prevaricators bassist (and Jon Stewart doppelganger) Alford Faulkner. Old-school RVA punk Doug Dobey gave Faulkner a call this morning, and he confirmed the photo is of him at a July 23rd, 1982 Dead Kennedys show which took place at the now-defunct Casablanca. For what it’s worth, it could totally have been him, if not for the hair. [rvamag / thanks andrew!]

thedailywhat: How To of the Day: Unicorn Poop cookies. And there’s a funny story behind it, too! I told my mom that I was making some “Unicorn Sneezes” and she said “when are you going to make your unicorn sh*t?”  And then it hit me…Great idea, Mom!  It will take a dirty spin and become unicorn poop, instead! What do you mean “that’s not funny”? Sounds to me like someone hasn’t had their daily dose of unicorn poop. [instructables.]

First World Slippers of the Day: Ironically, the only thing preventing me from purchasing a pair of Hot Booties is the godawful infomercial desperately trying to sell me Hot Booties.

“A revolution in pure comfort and foot therapy”? Slipper, please.

[videogum.]

After watching this video I googled them to order some, but I will not as they do not make the size/color combination that I desire.
