Some call ‘em plain; some call ‘em “adult.” For those of you who aren’t into cute animals dancing on your t-shirts. You’re no noob fresh off the boat. You’re a Wooter, dammit, and that means something. You’ve bought everything from Leakfrogs to Sansas to Enzyte pills (just to help move the WootOff along, of course. […]

Every Tuesday, we ask Jeopardy! know-it-all Ken Jennings to blow our minds by debunking a cherished myth that “everybody knows” — even though it’s dead wrong.
