Actually, scientists have been working on this problem for a long time, and they've finally been able to prove an equation that explains women's behavior. $$$$ + 8====D = 8===D -->{} + 8===D --> (*)
Researchers at MIT have created a body suit called AGNES (Age Gain Now Empathy System) that simulates old age. The suit includes a heavy helmet, body braces, and yellow-tinged glasses that create the feeling of achey joints, limited mobility, and blurred vision. 1/5/12 3:29pm ET

It's once again time for a favorite Kwipster pastime -- in that we've done it once before. See if you can guess whose chest is pictured, ideally in a humorous way. Hints: the person is a rock star, just got engaged, and has a famous daughter. Click through for the answer. 1/4/12 12:06pm ET

The FDA has ordered Trent Arsenault of the SF Bay area to stop giving away his sperm on his website. In the past 5 years, Arsenault has fathered 14 children with his donations, and more are on the way.
