10 Perks of Living In A World Without Facebook
Today our friends over at Urlesque have decided to eschew the web…in theory, anyway. “A World Without Internet” is their theme of the day, bringing you a flash-sideways universe where the net never existed (despite the fact that yes, we’re reading this on the web). Think about how hard it would be to catch a predator without the convenience of a 40-year-old man posing as a 13-year-old girl. And imagine if YouTube never existed and America’s Funniest Home Videos still reigned supreme. Scary stuff, right?

The Secret To The ‘Forbes’ Celebrity List
Forbes, a magazine that just loves to rank everyone from billionaires to fictional characters, has put out its annual list of the most powerful celebrities in the world.

Oh, those clandestine love affairs: So exciting and indulgent with the thrill of getting caught and exposed for the liar that you are.

The Top 10 Boys To Avoid
