CHECK IT OUT: About a year ago, a British woman named Karen noticed that her husband was saying the strangest things in his sleep, so she started Sleep Talkin’ Man, which became one of the new year’s first viral sensations. The blog collects hubbie Adam’s strangest lines, like “I haven’t put on weight. Your eyes are fat.” See for yourself:

EQUATION CALCULATES TOYS’ PLAY VALUE: Psychologist Cliff Arnall has created an equation that is designed to calculate a toy’s ‘play value’ based on factors including cost, the amount of time a child is expected to spend with it and whether it encourages social interaction. A toy that scores 40 or above is considered to to be of excellent value.

FOOD ASTROLOGY

While nutritionists might say you are what you eat, Domino’s Pizza is saying you eat what you are. The company teamed up with author and food astrologer Steve Weiss to determine taste preferences based on the astrological signs. Weiss says in his studies he’s found a correlation. He notes that those born under the sign of Aries tend to enjoy a variety of foods with extreme temperatures and flavors. The Taurus-born like foods that are indulgent, while Geminis are snackers who appreciate bite sized food. Cancers prefer to both serve and eat comfort foods.

Leos aren’t as particular about what they eat, but they like their meals to be social events. Virgos tend to have very precise food preferences. Libras enjoy a variety of contrasting but compatible foods. Scorpios are traditionalists when it comes to food, while Sagittarius are open to trying anything once. Capricorns prefer mom’s home cooking. Aquarians enjoy modern cuisine with a creative presentation. Piscians are very private about their culinary preferences. More information about each signs’ culinary preferences are available online at Domino’s Pizza’s Food Astrology
