    A Simple Tilt of The Head Makes You More Attractive*

    Our happy hour fact to amaze you drinking buddies with.

    BERJAYAMen look more masculine when they tilt their heads back a bit; women look sexier when they look slightly up.

    Researchers from the University of Newcastle, Australia, were able to find the facial position for both males and females that optimizes attractiveness. They did so by testing reactions to 3-D computer models of faces, which were presented to subjects at different angles.

    Women looking up while men look down mimics the typical height difference between the sexes, so the researchers believe the inherent attractiveness of these postures is rooted in evolution.

    Before incorporating this finding into his seduction technique, a fellow would be wise to make sure his nose hair situation is under control.

    Congressman John Conyers Caught Checking Out Playboy on a Plane

    BERJAYAEvery time we're in the airport gift shop and see a partially obscured Playboy on the magazine rack, we think, "Who would have the nerve to read a Playboy on an airplane?"

    Now we have an answer: 24-term Michigan Congressman John Conyers, that's who.

    An anonymous passenger on a flight between Detroit and Washington, D.C., shot a cell phone video of Conyers checking out some major, glossy-paged boobage, seemingly oblivious to the potentially more delicate sensibilities of the other passengers on the crowded flight.

    The images in the video, which is posted below, are probably too small to be considered NSFW.

    Non-Functioning Life-Size Space Shuttle for Sale -- Only $2.2 Million

    BERJAYAEvery kid dreams of becoming an astronaut. But, let's be realistic, most of them ain't gonna make it.

    Of course, it's still free to dream. And, if you've got enough coin, you can get out of your dreams and into this life-size replica of the Space Shuttle Discovery.

    SpaceToys is selling this non-working 1-to-1-scale model of the famed spacecraft for the low, low price of $2.2 million. It's the perfect stocking stuffer for the man who dreams of space travel and buys his stockings from the same people who made athletic socks for Manute Bol.

    The model only replicates the exterior of the space shuttle, but it's incredibly close to the real thing, from the massive, 78-foot wingspan to the tiny bathroom window that allows astronauts to marvel at the majesty of planet Earth as they "recycle their Tang."

    The only downside (there's always one when you're trying to buy a fake space shuttle) is that shipping is up to the buyer. We called FedEx to get an estimate on what it would take to ship a 4.5-million-pound spacecraft model. After we were able to convince their freight operator that this was not a prank call, she said that, if we could break down the model into pallets of 220,000 pounds (their maximum shipping weight per pallet), it would cost $14,648,719.32 before taxes to get the whole thing to our house based on NASA's estimated dimensions of the shuttle.

    That doesn't include shipping for the gun we would inevitably buy to shoot ourselves as we tried to put it back together again.

    Kelly Brook Doesn't Come By Her Well-Defined Cameltoe Naturally

    BERJAYAWe understand the padded bra, and maybe even the butt enhancer, but a cameltoe falsie?

    Well, it works as a Funny or Die sketch.

    British model and actress Kelly Brook suggestively pitches a cameltoe-enhancing insert that fits straight into a lady's pants -- and does so while saying things like "Puffy Taco" with that fancy English accent of hers.

    'Desert Bus for Hope' Gamers Play World's Most Boring Video Game for Charity

    BERJAYAIn the 1990s, staunch critics of video game violence, like then-U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, were abuzz with the idea that the games' reward system for bloody violence, was turning the nation's youth into skull-bashing hooligans.

    Comedy magic duo Penn & Teller responded to Reno's call to make video games that taught children real world skills by coming up with the Sega CD cult classic "Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors."

    The unreleased disc included the incredibly useless and uninteresting "Desert Bus," a bus-driving simulator that took place in real time.

    The game never hit the shelves, but bootleg copies of the review disc popped up all over the Internet, where the comedy group "Loading Ready Run" discovered the game and turned it into one of the most popular fund-raising efforts on the Web. "Desert Bus for Hope" is an annual gaming telethon that raises thousands of dollars for the children's game charity Child's Play.

    LRR co-creator and troupe member Graham Stark talked to Asylum during "Day Four" of the gaming snore-fest about how the annual comedy charity grew its legs, the overwhelming response the telethon has achieved and what it's like to drive eight hours from Tucson, Ariz., to Las Vegas without leaving Victoria, British Columbia.
