Dating can be awkward and weird, especially when things seem to be going well and the time comes to discuss big issues.

Who doesn’t dream of retiring from their day job and relocating to the Caribbean? Well, soon the dolphins at the National Aquarium in Baltimore will get to do just that.

A judge in Oklahoma dismissed a case involving sexual assault of a drunk 16 year old girl. Allegedly, the girl was so intoxicated that she had to be carried to the boy’s car and witnesses say she was in and out of consciousness in the car.

The family member had her taken to the hospital where her blood alcohol level was tested at .34 and DNA from the boy was found around her mouth and on the back of her leg.

While women comprise half of the HIV-positive population in the United States, they are less than 20% of the subject in anti-retroviral drug studies.

Like Gwyneth, I’m a mom of two kids, so I’m kind of hung up on the fact that she has the time to take a whole bath every night. I usually only manage to squeeze in a prison shower after the kids are in bed and before I collapse, so this brush-and-bathe routine is really amazing to me.

Last night was the Super Bowl and the New England Patriots did their thing to score a come-from-behind victory over the Atlanta Falcons.
