The Scientific Way to CUT A CAKE!

I LOVE CAKE!!  Who would have thought there is a "science" behind cutting it!

"We're betting that when you cut into a cake, you probably take out one wedge at a time. It's perfectly reasonable, particularly given that it's the classic method for divvying up the dessert. Turns out, though, science says we've been cutting cake all wrong.

"You're not maximizing the amount of gastronomic pleasure you can get from this cake," says British author Alex Bellos. He took to YouTube to show us all the proper cake-cutting procedure—and since it hit the site three days ago, it's already gotten more than two million views. Apparently, this technique is 100 years old and was once published in the science magazine Nature, when Francis Galton wrote a letter to the editor about the faulty wedge method. The reason that strategy is so bad? When you store your cake afterward, the exposed sides will continue to dry out until you take another piece. Slicing your cake in a different way solves this problem, keeping your dessert tender and moist." Check out the video below:

7 of the Sexiest Things We Learned in 2013

1.)    A survey from last August found that spending time away from your S.O. on occasion can help ensure you have sex more often.  Girls weekend anyone?

2.)    Forget popping the Excedrin, sex can help relieve migraines.

3.)    People who are in actual relationships get frisky more often than friends with benefits.  So no need to be jealous of the single girl whose sex life you always assumed was so amazing.

4.)    Contrary to what Miley Cyrus may think, sex does happen after 40—and it can be totally hot.  In fact, post-menopausal women have just as much sex as women who haven't yet reached menopause, according to research.

5.)    The middle of your menstrual cycle (day 14, to be exact) is when you're most likely to experience the “O”.  Mark your calendar!

6.)    Practicing yoga on a regular basis could help boost your arousal. Now, say ommmm...

7.)    People who get busy at least four times a week make more money than those who twist the sheets less often. So what are you waiting for—get naked already!
