THIS is worrying...
Pharmacists are privy to lots
of personal information but
apparently so are the friends of
lonely people on Facebook.
A study out of Charles Sturt
University looked at data from
more than 600 female Facebook
users with public profiles, with
308 indicating loneliness and 308
who felt connected to others,
according to status updates.
Lonely users were more likely
to disclose personal information
including favourite books and
movies, at 79%, compared with
those who felt connected at 69%,
and 98% of lonely users shared
their relationship publicly, the
research found.
Worryingly, lonely users were
more likely to share address
information as well.
THOR whizz, what a smell!
If you’re looking for new
products to stock, Norse Power
may be just what you need.
It’s a new deodorant that
apparently makes you smell like a
Viking, which we can only assume
means it’s a heady scent of old
blood and rank sweat (although
going with the movie Thor, maybe
it makes you smell like expensive
hair extensions?)
The deodorant was
commissioned by the Visit York
agency and created by the JORVIK
Viking Centre and has been
released in a bid to attract more
tourists to the UK city.
True to form, Visit York has said
the scent is a combination of
mead, gore, sweat, animal meat,
seawater and smoke - mmmmm.
It’s worth noting that Visit York
states Viking warriors used to
bathe once a week.
TOWNSVILLE, Rosswell; similar.
Any pharmacists in Townsville -
did you see burning debris falling
out of the sky last Thursday?
ABC is reporting that residents
saw flaming objects falling to the
ground, possibly from space, but
police say nothing’s been found.
