Everyone has a friend with bad gas. He’s a good guy, but you never want to get stuck on a long car ride with him and he’s not the guy you introduce to your sister. According to a new study from the University of Exeter in United Kingdom (so you know it’s legit), the smell of farts might actually be beneficial to your health. One day you may actually fight with your other friends on who gets the privilege of sharing a hotel room with Stinky Ted.

We don’t pretend to understand the science behind how this works, but apparently there is a compound found in human farts and rotten eggs that might decrease the cell damage responsible in part for cancer, diabetes, stroke, heart attacks, dementia and more.

Researchers have created AP39 (fake farts?) and already it’s showing promise. Professor Matt Whiteman writes, “Our results indicate that if stressed cells are treated with AP39, mitochondria are protected and cells stay alive.” That’s good news. You want to keep your cells alive.

Dr. Mark Wood added “Although hydrogen sulfide is well known as a pungent, foul-smelling gas in rotten eggs and flatulence, it is naturally produced in the body and could in fact be a healthcare hero with significant implications for future therapies for a variety of diseases.”

Wait, that guy’s name is Dr. Wood and he studies farts? Sorry, just had to point that out.

Everyone hates to hear “back to school” talk, but a smart guy embraces it early. You want to start now so it’s not a huge, stressful headache to do it all at the last minute. That will only ruin your last days of summer, the days when you’re supposed to be squeezing in the last drops of beach time, or bonfire camping time, or water slide time…you get the idea. If you start buying your things today, you’ll barely notice the smooth transition into fall. Here are seven must-have products to get you started.

The SL Loop Runner

Choosing a pair of classic kicks is always a smart move. That’s why they’re called “classics.” adidas made history at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games when they unveiled their original sport lifestyle shoe, the SL 72. Over 40+ years, these have become a staple for athletic guys to wear when they’re not competing — unless it’s competing in kicking back. Now they’ve introduced their latest addition to the family, the SL Loop Runner. They still have that classic design (fun, simple and clean) but with a unique spin for this year. Available in red, green, blue and black, they’ll complement any look.
Price: $75

Using a tablet at school rather than lugging around a laptop is a great idea, but you have to have the right one. Typing on some tablets takes forever. If you have to carry around a separate keyboard, why ...

We know Carmelo Anthony has taken meetings with the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets and Chicago Bulls to decide where he’ll play next. However, based on yesterday’s news, his incumbent team might have the advantage.

TMZ broke the story that Scores New York has offered Melo free lap dances for life if he re-signs with the New York Knicks. Imagine the money he’ll be saving. Just crunch the numbers. A lap dance is $20 (not counting tip). For the sake of argument, let’s say Melo averages one lap dance a week. That’s 52 lap dances a year. He’s 30 years old, so he’s got another 48 years if he lives to the average life expectancy. That’s a savings of $50,000 and that’s not accounting for inevitable lap-dance inflation rates.

Scores New York’s offer also includes:
Judging the “Dollars For Scholars” amateur pole dancing competition.
A new drink called “The Melo Carmelo.”
His own personal ball girl and cheerleading squad for every Knicks game that only cheer for Carmelo.
A topless charity basketball game in his honor, in which he could also play.

Strip clubs of Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston and Chicago, the ball is court. It’s time to make Melo your offers.

Everyone’s heart broke when they saw the above image play out during yesterday’s soccer mauling. As the German team slaughtered the Brazilians, an elderly, mustachioed man clung to his replica World Cup trophy and wept. The scene kept me awake last night. Thankfully, when I clicked on Reddit this morning, I saw the follow up photo below. This guy has to be sports fan of the year! While it’s not verified, he reportedly said as he handed the trophy over: “Take it to the final! As you can see, it is not easy, but you deserve it, congratulations.”

Luke Bryan is one of the biggest country music stars today. He’s performing at the 2014 CMT Music Awards, where he’s also nominated. He sold out a weekend of shows at Madison Square Garden in minutes and was named Entertainer of the Year by the Academy of Country Music Awards last year.

You may have already known all that, but did you know that Luke Bryan would be a good hang? Sure, he’s a superstar, but he’s also just a dude. He likes to drink beer and isn’t afraid of getting a crazy tattoo. Here are five reasons that Bryan is a bro you want to hang with.

1. He’ll totally let you drive his truck:
Well, we’re not sure if he would let you drive his truck, but he does get free ones from Chevy. Also, Bryan recently crashed one of his trucks into a lake because he left it in drive while feeding catfish in his private pond. That probably means he has some trucks to spare and enough land for you to spin some donuts.

2. He enjoys a good beer:
Bryan’s not afraid to toss back a few. He recently drunk tweeted through his anniversary dinner at a sushi restaurant that wouldn’t let him wear his hat inside. Bryan later apologized and left a large tip, and also tweeted that his breakfast the next day was “a lovely all American breakfast. Wine, beer, champagne, and more beer. Yee haw.” Sounds like a good ...
