I figure I will use it, it looks great. But if it wasn't owned by a big company like Yahoo! I'd use this phrase on the home page as evidence of the product being dodgy:

Men tend to have symmetrical brains, whereas female brains tend to be larger on the right hemisphere.

Guess what... in this regard, lesbian brains look like those of men, and the brains of gay men look like those of women, according to a study by the Ka­r­o­lin­ska In­sti­tute in Stock­holm.

2. We live longer than any other nation (except Japan)

If you want to convince yourself that flying isn't safe, check out this:

Boeing have built 1500 747s all time.
27 of them have had fatal crashes.
That's almost 2% of all 747s.

Would you drive a car knowing that there was a 2% chance that the very same car would one day be in a fatal collision?
