Des'ree takes bad lyric top spot
Quote:
A vote for the worst lyric in pop has awarded the dubious title to soul singer Des'ree's hit Life. The offending lines are "I don't want to see a ghost/It's the sight that I fear most/I'd rather have a piece of toast/Watch the evening news".
Listeners to Marc Riley's BBC6 Music show have been voting for the past three weeks on a top 10 list of shame.
Second place went to Snap's Rhythm is a Dancer which goes "I'm as serious as cancer/ When I say rhythm is a dancer".
In third place was "And I met a girl/ She asked me my name/ I told her what it was" from Razorlight's 2005 hit Somewhere Else.

BBC Article: "Hating My Bald Head"
To all the men out there who are losing their hair... fast! :D
Quote:
Slaphead, chrome dome, baldie - people can be nasty when you lose your hair. So what's the solution?
At the age of 16, I was confronted with the stark realisation that God found my face too pretty for my fringe. I had started losing my hair.
I went to my GP to ask if he could please, please halt the hair dropping like stone from my adolescent head. He suggested a crew cut. With adolescent hormones raging, the news that I'd be bald before some of my peers' voices broke hit hard.
A decade on, I'm still coming to terms with my bald pate. I am not alone - almost one third of men are noticeably balding by the age of 30, and most seek to hide the receding tide of their hairline by shaving off what remains.

Men 'no less chatty than women'
The common notion that women are the more talkative sex has been dispelled by scientists in the US. Researchers who bugged 400 students to log their chats found little difference in word count between the sexes.
The University of Arizona study, in Science, conflicts with previous US research suggesting women talk almost three times as much as men.
Whether someone was an introvert or an extrovert was more important, said relationship experts.
In the study, women spoke a daily average of 16,215 words during their waking hours, and men 15,669 words.
The researchers say this difference is not significant.
