Army of Two: The 40th Day

A carefully orchestrated series of mysterious catastrophes is dragging Shanghai, China to the brink of ruin, and now the Army of Two must fight their way through ravaged city districts as they try to beat the odds and uncover the secret of the 40th Day.

Army of Two: The 40th Day has been built from the ground up with a focus on an incredible cooperative experience. The result is a bigger, better, more organic and immersive co-op experience that lets you put your best two-man tactics to use whenever and wherever you want.

I'm not to sure about this game. With Call of Duty Modern Warfare being what seems to be the hottest game in gaming history, Army of Two will probably be smothered out in the shooter genre. Though this game may be a blast in team play.

Zhu Zhu pets contain toxic chemicals

The hottest toy of the holiday season is the Zhu Zhu pets hamster. The toy has been found to contain tin, antimony, and bromine.

vermilion border

What are cold sores and what causes them?Cold sores (a cold sore), also known as fever blisters, are small sores, or blister-like lesions on the face or inside the mouth. They usually cause pain, a burning sensation, or itching before they burst and crust over. Most commonly, cold sores appear on the lips, chin, cheeks, inside the nostrils, and less frequently on the gums or the palate (roof of the mouth).

The sores are caused by the herpes simplex viruses; the most common cause of sores around the mouth is herpes simplex type 1, or HSV-1. Much less commonly, cold sores may be caused by HSV-2 (herpes simplex type 2), which may result from having oral sex with a person who has genital herpes.

tiger woods mistress

Another day, another new mistress from the Tiger Woods soap opera, and today’s lucky gal comes complete with an IMDB profile: Holly Sampson.

Now you might read IMDB and think that Holly Sampson is an actress and you’d be right, except for one small aspect of her “acting” career: she’s a porn star, who has appeared in such porn classics such as “Unlimited MILFS,” “Cougars in Heat” and “Sperm Dumpster.”

So far, Holly is giving a standard “no comment” when asked about the relationship vs denying it, no doubt shopping around for a tell all deal with a newspaper or gossip rag before she spills the beans.

Looks wise: not bad for a tiger mistress, although it’s fairly clear now that he has a thing for women in their 30s.
