Old pallets are used everywhere to transport items. What if you could get a couple of these pallets and use them to create items around your house? We’re going to do such a thing. Add some flare and make the environment a lot better by recycling old pallets.

Life is not what it used to be as we didn’t have to deal with any world war. We should count our blessings and be ready for our bright future as youth.

Frozen Body Found

Investigators in Maine are working to determine if a body found in a storage unit freezer is that of a woman who went missing 28 years ago after a fight with her boyfriend, police said.

The storage unit was rented to 80 year old Frank Julian who died earlier in October, and was believed to be the last person to see his girlfriend Kitty Wardwell alive in the summer of 1983, said Maine state police spokesman Stephen McCausland.

When Julian’s family members began cleaning out  his storage unit in Lewiston last Friday, they found the body and notified police. On Monday, the medical examiner’s office began work to identify it, McCausland said. Examiners plan to use DNA to try to identify if the body is that of Wardwell. Wardwell was reported missing by a friend in July of 1983.

According to a missing persons report on the state police’s website, Julian was reported as saying that he left Wardwell at a New Hampshire motel after the couple had an argument, and went home alone. Wardwell was 29 years old at the time.

Police did not expect autopsy results to be returned immediately.

Wardwell’s sister, who also filed a missing persons report for Kitty, has been notified, as has other family. 

McCausland said the case has remained open, as foul play had been suspected.

Products that Promise But Don’t Deliver

Hair in a can, the Flowbee and ExtenZe.  How do they all fit together?  I’ll save you a bit of head scratching:  They’re products that offer incredible results, but generally fall flat on their faces in the delivery department… not that I’ve ever tried any of them.  Ever.  Ahem, moving right along.

As men with disposable income, we’re subjected to a near constant barrage of crap that will do anything from grow muscles, grow a “muscle” or cure us of some menial chore that only seems to be difficult for actors on infomercials.  Generally, it’s pretty easy to weed out the chaff and move on with our day.  However, what happens when you come across something that is cause for a bit more attention?  Something like one of the candies from a company called Snap Infusion?

The Anti-Hangover Candy

Let’s say you were out one night until an irresponsible hour (I know, such a thing would never happen), and let’s say that during your nocturnal sojourn you imbibed more than your fair share of scotch.  The following morning when you wake up to go help rebuild the orphanage and rescue kittens from trees you may be suffering from a hangover.  Standard cure?  Pop two aspirin, pound back some coffee, take a shower and get yourself some bacon and eggs.  Maybe a hash-brown if you’re feeling frisky.  Some prefer a certain sport beverage hocked by their athletic idols, but really… you’re a grown man of refined taste, surely you can do better.  Which is when you reach for the jelly beans you keep on the nightstand.

How True is Snap Infusion’s True Calling?

Snap Infusion is selling itself as a bit of a candy-miracle-cure-all.  Here are a few quotes from the product’s website, and no, I’m not making these up:

“You could climb an entire mountain while chewing our Gum and have enough energy left to blow a celebratory bubble at the summit.”

“…its true calling is to help you run, jump, play, shoot and shred with an advanced degree of awesome.”

Personally, I’ve only got a B.A. in Awesome and could use the more advanced degree.  Are these the words of a modern day snake-oil saleman?  Each of Snap Infusion’s candies use “super science to squeeze massive flavor into a small space”.  I have no idea what that means.  That said, here’s some of what they boast:  all-natural ingredients, no HFCS, B-vitamins, electrolytes and antioxidants.  I dig it and maybe this isn’t just a passing fad.  Instead of popping an actual handful of jelly beans or gnawing our way through some caramel we can have a “candy” that gives a little back.

I don’t think that chewing on a piece of gum is going to cure a hangover, but neither will the shower, the bacon and eggs (regardless of quantity) or massive cup of coffee.  Time cures hangover.  What Snap Infusion is offering is a little bit of a boost to help you along the way.  Certainly something to consider before your next night out.

Are you working hard? Does this picture relate with you? I hope not.

No one talks about the correct method to shave, but here’s a humorous method on how one should shave. It’s a great post, and deserve a comment from you.

Non verbal communication such as facial expressions plays a huge part in our existence, but don’t seem to get a lot of love from the press. Here at mancertified.com we found some images of what we describe as the “male guilty look” that has been displayed by some of the most recognized faces in the world.

The look explained by our editors: I’m guilty. I made a mistake, and don’t know what else to say.

Like father like son? Isn’t it funny how life repeats itself over and over again through different generations?
