Social experiments are kind of my forte. I’ve done lots of questionable things for Men’s Health—like, for example, spending an entire day covered from head to toe in lube—all loosely in the name of journalism. 

So when my 5-year-old daughter recently started hanging out with the kids in our neighborhood, I decided to join her. But there was a catch: I wanted to be one of them.

When the names of the first nine KKK-affiliated politicians were released by the hacker group Anonymous last week, the Internet exploded. Except that Anonymous never released any names.

Like Obama banning Christmas cards to American military members overseas, it was a hoax.

I was nearly beaten and killed because of a speeding ticket. And not by the police, either—at least not directly. This can happen to you, too, if you're dumb enough to rely on your dumb friends for legal advice.

I got the citation about a week before moving from New York to California. My timing was amazing—at least according to Scott Klein, the high school buddy I used to funnel kegs with. He told me to ignore it because New York and California don't share computer records. California won't know and I won't have my New York license anymore.

Imagine walking into your living room and into a phone conversation that your wife is having with your ex-girlfriend who dumped you in 1999.

I spend way too much time on Facebook conversing with people I don’t know in real life. So I decided, why not try to change that?

Via a series of updates, I invited my Facebook friends to dinner—but only those I'd never met in person. This resulted in what had to have been the strangest party ever to descend upon the private events room of my local Mimi’s Café.

Many people search for their mates on online dating sites, but not like this.

To test how well we’re suited for each other, my wife and I created match.com profiles and let the website decide whether or not to hook us up.

Other than representing ourselves as never married and without children, everything we wrote about ourselves was the honest truth. We answered more than a dozen personal questions about our interests, our habits and what we seek in a mate.

One day, you’re watching a celebrity on your living-room TV. A week later, he’s watching that same TV with you, as your dog humps his leg.

My wife spotted George Maloof, multimillionaire tabloid fixture, at a media party in his Las Vegas casino, the Palms—recognizing him from a commercial in which he co-starred with a pig. She broke away from the chat I was conducting with other journalists and introduced herself to him as my wife.

Right now, 35 people are demanding to see my penis. That is more than have made that demand during my entire lifetime.

“Whip it out!” they’re chanting. “Whip it out!”

It's a given that we’re willing to consider sources with dubious credentials to be experts. It’s like we want to believe that Dr. Phil is a licensed psychologist and that Wikipedia isn't compiled by crazy people.

But just how far are we willing to stretch that desire to believe in the people telling us how to eat, vote, love, raise children, and choose investments?

I have a serious drinking problem. I refuse to partake from my wife's glass.

Like an otherwise normal person, I will swap spit during a kiss, since I am in love. However, imagine bottoming up an empty glass that your loved one has spit repeatedly into. Gross, right? That is exactly how I feel about doing the champagne switch toast.
