Don't wimpster out on us, baby

Bust, the magazine whose motto is "For women with something to get off their chest," goes after wimpsters in its most recent issue.

A wimpster is "a man who has perfected his own male insecurity in an effort to manipulate women. He is a man who uses self-deprecation and vulnerability to prey upon a woman's need to nurture his massive ego."

Common traits include a caved-in chest, vitamin deficiency, chronic allergies and the soft scent of body odor mixed with Tide.

People who would be in the Wimpster Hall of Fame include Moby (above), John Cusack, Ethan Hawke and Al Gore.

Where does the body of water go?

Ever wonder where all that water goes that you drink? In descending order, it becomes:

1. Urine

2. Sweat

3. Evaporation other than sweat

4. Metabolic processes (water used inside the body) and respiration (water lost while exhaling). Both are negligible compared with the first three.
