MIT Oreo Study: WBZ says MIT researchers recently conducted a study to find out why Oreo cream only sticks to one cookie and not the other. Researchers created an Oreometer, which splits the cookie in half while measuring the amount of torque it takes to rotate the cookies apart.
Researcher Crystal Owens says, “We learned, sadly, that even if you twist an Oreo perfectly, the cream will almost always end up mostly on one of the two wafers, with a delamination of the cream, and there’s no easy way to get it to split between wafers. I hope people can use this information to improve their cookie eating when they twist open an Oreo, or when they dunk it in milk.''
Delamination is when something splits apart into layers.

The wedding planners she's been working with are presenting countless options, featuring the fanciest venues in the US, as well as super luxury honeymoon packages. But it's not enough.

Blake Shelton tells Music Mayhem magazine that Snoop Dogg once got so high before a taping of ''The Voice'' that he fell asleep. “I remember my team came out and I’m sitting there just almost just like this. Our contestants are singing, and we were about three artists in and somebody was just singing their heart out…they’re about halfway through, and I look over at Snoop and he’s asleep. And when the song ended he was still like this. I go, ‘Well it’s… What do you think Snoop?’ And he goes, ‘I think on the second verse you need to…’ And he was taking it all in, but he was so high.

Dear Fonseca
My daughter-in-law and I are fighting. The fight started shortly after she and my son got married. He assumed that she was going to do his laundry. She refused and said, ''I'm not your mother''. I took that as an insult. I believe it's a woman's responsibility to take care of her household and that includes doing the laundry. My daughter-in-law disagrees and thinks I made my son lazy. She also says my thinking is outdated. Is it? What are your thoughts on this?
