Well we pretty much all have the same type, but not everyone can get 10 after 10 ha ha

Until he got married in his early forties I had a friend who traded in twenty five year old blondes every couple of years.

It's worth noting he did try at the beginning to have a sustained relationship. 5+ years with the first two women. But then he hit like 35 and it was more about chasing hot younger women while he's still got it, probably realized he's not the settling down type, and the relationships started being just 1 or 2 years tops. Then as a 45+ yo, he's like realizing I gotta settle down I guess, pick one, but he keeps wanting the hot young model types who themselves are only going thru a phase of dating not for keeps, or latching on to a rich celeb for their own reasons (be it contacts, career exposure, or chasing money). That's never going to end well. When you're 40+ dating a 20 yo. Even if you NOW want to settle down, those aren't the age groups to settle down with at your age. He probably knows that too, just getting his last kicks in before he loses his virility/looks. Or maybe Leo will be one of those Hefner types at 60+ dating an obvious 25 yo gold-digger and doesn't care.

I had always thought that termites followed the insect life cycle of egg - larvae - pupae - adult insect like bees, wasps, ants, fleas, flies and butterflies.

However, I recently learned that termites don't have a pupae stage, and instead follow the egg - nymph - adult insect life cycle seen in grasshoppers, crickets, praying mantises, stick insects and cockroaches.

The predecessor of the A League was the National Soccer League (NSL), which commenced in 1977 and finished in 2004.

There was a high turnover of participating clubs in its 28 seasons, but only two teams who were there from beginning to end - South Melbourne and the Sydney-based Marconi Stallions. Yet neither South Melbourne nor Marconi have participated in the A League competition.

Dominate is not a word to be used trivially.

Simply not true.

Terrifying close-up of an ant's face gives horror movie monsters a run for their money​

It turns out that zooming in on an ant’s face is an absolute nightmare.

A close-up photograph of an ant was sent in as a submission to the 48th annual Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition — and the results are freaky.

The tight shot of the tiny insect, captured by Dr. Eugenijus Kavaliauskas of Taurage, Lithuania, shows the ant’s beady red eyes, angry expression and what appears to be long, sharp teeth.

Kavaliauskas captured this photo of the ant by using reflected light with 5X objective lens magnification, according to the competition.

The photo has the internet — well, freaking out over what could replace a monster in a horror film.
