You probably wouldn't lose employment because you farted in bed, but Americans believe that cutting one at a job interview is less embarrassing than during sex, SWNS reported.
And there's a whole lot more breaking news from a 2,000-person survey conducted by flatulence deodorant Devrom:
-- Only 37 percent would confess to having dealt it if a coworker smelt it.
-- 44 percent said they leave the room after they blow their butt trumpet. (Cowards!)
-- 20 percent would make a loud noise to muffle their vibrating sphincter and avoid detection.
-- 35 percent would prefer to fart loud and odor free, rather than the ol' SBD (silent but deadly).
That's right, 2016 is a leap year, which means we get to enjoy a whole extra day of February, and people born on February 29 finally get some presents.

When hunger strikes, are you more likely to reach for junk foods than superfoods? The fix might be as simple as a little strategic shelving, experts say. We asked a team of them—including a nutrition scientist, a psychology researcher, and a professional organizer—to rethink how we stock the refrigerator. Here are their best tips for prompting healthier choices.
To most of us, the process of brushing our teeth seems like a pretty straightforward exercise. Toothpaste, floss, mouthwash - right?
Well actually, wrong - or at least according to the experts, who say that most of us are performing our oral hygiene routines in completely the wrong way without even realising.
Not only are one in four adults not brushing their teeth twice a day, only 31% are using mouthwash and just 21% use dental floss. The key to brushing your teeth the right way, says dentist and co-founder of WhiteWash Laboratories Matthew Lloyd, is to use all three, but not in the order you might expect.
I guess I’m too poor to have a happy marriage. A new study found it costs approximately $381,000 to have a happy marriage. I wonder how much it costs to happily die alone? Anyway, here’s the breakdown . . .

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- How far would you go to pay off your student loans? Cut off a pinky finger? Take a punch from former professional boxer Mike Tyson? Give up social media for life?
A new poll shows some graduated student loan borrowers would willingly go to extremes to pay off outstanding student debt. That includes pain, suffering and, possibly, a move to Syria.
Nerf has long been known for making some of the most impressive toy weaponry kids can buy, but its foam dart blasters aren't exactly known for their power or accuracy—until now. At Toy Fair 2015 in New York this weekend, Nerf will officially introduce its new Rival line starting with a pair of blasters that are capable of launching an inch-thick foam ball at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour. Not surprisingly, the new line will also include face masks for added safety.
While it might be tempting to take a “wild ride” into the past, do not set the date on your iPhone to Jan. 1, 1970, despite what a hoax image circulating recently says. That is, unless your idea of a wild ride is having a phone you can’t use anymore.
The fake image passes itself off as a screenshot from the Apple website, purporting to share the news of a retro mode on iPhones that can be enabled by setting the device’s date to Jan. 1, 1970.
What does it mean to be the “perfect woman?” Everyone has their own definition of perfection, but when it comes to online dating, it’s no secret that some women are more successful than others. WhatsYourPrice conducted an annual study to find the attributes of America’s Perfect Woman.
Move over blonde bombshells, dark haired beauties are reigning supreme in 2016. With starlets such as Gal Gadot and the Kardashians commanding headlines, it’s no wonder men are willing to offer more to date a woman with similar qualities.
Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, solid shuteye just isn’t in the cards.
And while a regular sleep schedule (waking up at the same time, going to bed at the same time, and logging seven or eight hours of sleep every night) is hugely important for your overall health, a few sleep-deprived days aren’t the end of the world.
They just feel like they are.
Consider this your guide for surviving those days you feel like a zombie.
1 in 4 motorists refuse to let a BMW out at a junction
Closely followed by Land Rover’s and Subaru’s
Motorists also unlikely to let out ‘souped-up’ cars as habits revealed
The results revealed over one in four drivers admitted that they would not let out a BMW at a junction and somewhat surprisingly women were less likely to let out a BMW than males, with over 30% refusing to give way to motorists driving that brand.
Males picked out Subaru’s - the car made famous by the World Rally Championships - as the car they would be most unlikely to let out.
Other car brands that are not likely to be let out at junctions include Land Rover, Subaru, Mercedes and Audi.
If you have already bought your Valentine a gift, keep the receipt as today is the most popular day for being dumped according to IllicitEncounters.com. Red Tuesday as it's known is the most popular day for people to call it quits on their relationship. 27% have broken up with their partner on the lead up to Valentine's Day.
Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Christian Grant, explains:
"You're on the cusp of what is generally considered to be one of the most romantic and important days for any relationship, and then you realise that you don't love your partner as much as they love you, so to save yourself the embarrassment or shame of having to declare your love to someone you don't really care for, what do you do? You take the lesser of two evils and dump them."
I hate to admit it. But reading this column will make you stupider. No, it’s not that what I have to say is particularly obtuse. It’s that you’re reading this piece online, where you are presented a dizzying amount of options: click here, watch this, share that. These may seem like trivial decisions, but as the amount of online content explodes, our brains have consequently learned how to read differently (with constant distractions), which has reshaped how we learn. While the Internet gives us access to more information than before, paradoxically, we are becoming dimmer and more superficial as a people.

My dad gave me this advice a long time ago when I moved into my first apartment. He even came out and changed the screws for me as soon as I moved in. Someone else recently posted about it and I thought I would share!
A good home security tip that you may have never thought about.... Most contractors install the plates with the supplied screws which are only a half inch long and come out with one kick by a burglar. He installed 4 inch screws in their place that go through the door frame and into the framing of the house. They can kick for a long time before they get tired! You can see in the picture the screw in his hand is the screw supplied with the door hardware. Making a burglar make a bunch of noise and be foiled in their initial plan can not only give you time to arm yourself but they will most likely move on to an easier target.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- While money management isn't the greatest first date topic, financial compatibility is a key ingredient in building a lasting romantic relationship. With Valentine's Day around the corner, leading personal finance website GOBankingRates.com surveyed over 5,000 respondents to discover Americans' biggest financial turn-offs when looking for a romantic partner.

San Francisco is bracing itself to host the 50th Super Bowl, but Denver and Charlotte are going to be seeing a real uptick in mortality rates. It seems that if your team is playing in the Super Bowl, your chances of catching a deadly flu go up, albeit slightly.
Tulane University just analyzed 35 years worth of flu data, and published the disturbing results in the American Journal of Health Economics. If a city had a team playing in the Super Bowl, its mortality rates due to influenza jumped. Based on data from 1974 through 2009, cities with teams in the Super Bowl saw 18 percent increases in influenza mortality for people over 65.

Facebook users in California don’t want to hear about your personal problems, Floridians are tired at looking at pictures of your food, and your selfies are not welcome in the Louisiana Bayou.

Even in newlywed bliss, you and your new spouse are bound to bicker. So here, our experts reveal the four top fights you're most likely to have—and of course, how to fix them.
Fight: How to spend your money.
Pooling your finances has its benefits. But once you do, you may find you and your new spouse squabble over everything from who pays the bills to how many discretionary dollars you should each get to spend.
Solution: Money talks.
According to Toni Coleman, psychotherapist and relationship coach, "Money is the number one issue couples that causes arguments." In part, it can be due to different upbringings and values as well as how much money you each bring to the table. But, you can stop bickering over bucks by getting on the same financial page and discussing in-depth your thoughts on spending, saving, and investing. "Fully disclose and review all of your joint income, expenses, debt, savings, and more," says Coleman, then create a budget to which you can both abide and tweak as necessary. "This way, there are no surprises, each person knows the financial picture, and each has a stake in how finances are handled."
Fight: Intrusive in-laws.
Your mother-in-law doesn't have to come over unannounced or catch you making love to make it feel as if she's always around. If one of you feels suffocated by the other's family, fights can erupt.

For eternal cat lovers everywhere, this is going to come as disappointing news: our feline friends don't care about us as much as dogs do.
As part of a new BBC2 documentary called "Cats v. Dogs", hosted by animal experts Chris Packham and Liz Bonnin, a neuroscientist has tested which of our favoured pets is likely to love us more.
Scientists already know that dogs - like humans - release oxytocin, also known as the "love hormone", when they are in contact with their owner. The test has previously never been carried out on cats.
DETROIT (CBS Detroit) Volunteers in Detroit and across the nation spent the night counting the homeless, and one of those men who lives in the cold is dealing with it in a, shall we say, unusual way.
He calls himself “Honest Abe” and he panhandles not just for pocket change, but also for the donor’s credit and debit cards. He accepts cards with a reader attached to his cell phone.
His real name is Abe Hagenston and he’s been homeless in Detroit for seven years or so. The 8 Mile overpass on I-75 is home.
ONTARIO (CBSLA.com) — A Murrieta woman is taking a chance on love — a big chance. Erica Harris married a man she never met in person Friday night at Ontario International Airport.
CBS2/KCAL9’s Jennifer Kastner caught up with her as she anxiously waited for her groom.
“You don’t drag your feet with real love. You leap into that like there’s no tomorrow, and that’s what we’re doing,” Harris said in her blissful tone.
