Many Men Turning to ‘Brotox’

For years, women have visited the plastic surgeon’s office to get their hands on a bit of Botox to make their fine lines and wrinkles disappear. But recently, men are hopping on board and hoping to get their hands on the male-purposed formula. That new formula is being referred to as “Brotox”. According to The National Post the men’s plastic surgery center Marina ManLand near the LA airport has seen a rise in male Botox requests as of late. Plastic surgeon Grant Stevens says his sports bar-like practice has been flooded with requests. ManLand is symbolic as the distributors of Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport try to turn their selling focus to men. During the Stanley Cup Finals, Botox rolled out print, television, and social media ads to try and lure in male customers. The Brotox works th...

According to the Washington Post, Donnie Rudd, now 76, has been accused of murdering his wife, who he previously said died in a car crash in 1973.

Fat Hedgehog Begrudgingly Forced To Diet and Exercise

Get ready to learn a little more about hedgehogs, because they're taking the spotlight. Well, at least one is. They possess distinctly grumpy looking faces to go along with their aloof demeanors, but this particular hedgehog has reason to be especially bothered. Fat and seemingly happy hedgehog named Arbuckle was recently handed into a Scottish rescue center. Arbuckle weighed 5 pounds -- 2.335 kilograms -- couldn't effectively walk nor form a hedgehog's trademark defensive ball. The opposite of our speedy video game hedgehog Sonic, when Arbuckle came into the rescue center, employee Keith Marley reported: "He's about the size of a World Cup football, after overfeeding." For reference, a typical hedgehog weighs an average of 600 grams. Our buddy Arbuckle is nearly four times that....

Fireball Whiskey Covers Arkansas Highway After Truck Crash

Imagine the messiest party cleanup possible, then multiply it several times. Cans, bottles, perhaps a rogue shoe, party aftermath isn't thought about until it stares you in the face the next day. Unfortunately, bigger messes similar in nature have to be cleaned up as soon as possible. Especially when the mess is clogging a state highway. Around 10:45 AM this past Thursday, two 18-wheeler trucks tangled on Arkansas Interstate 40-West. Fortunately, no one was hurt beyond some minor injuries. The contents of one of the trucks, on the other hand, were strewn about a stretch of highway that would hold traffic up in both directions until the afternoon. Reports don't say whether the highway smelled like college nights and regrettable choices, but the road was littered with a massive amo...

Silver Diamine Fluoride Helping Children Deal With Painful Dental Procedures

At least one in five Americans has one or more cavities that are currently untreated. Sadly, those numbers could potentially be even higher among the nation's youth population. Baby teeth begin to grow around 6 months, so the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends a trip to the dentist before your child’s first birthday. For kids, going to the dentist for something as minor as a checkup can be a terrifying, traumatic experience. With all the sharp dental tools, scary face protectors, and loud noises, many kids would much prefer manual labor than spending a few minutes in a dentist's chair. But unfortunately, children with poor oral health are three times more likely to miss school as a result of tooth pain. Needless to say, professional dentistry is a necessity for ...
