kate middletonI like Kate Middleton. She seems normal, chill -- hell, she might do her own wedding makeup! -- and she's really fun to look at. With her legs for days, locks of flowing raven hair, and flawless skin, it's safe to say the girl's attractive.

And apparently the people agree! In a recent poll by BeautifulPeople.com, she was voted the third most beautiful royal in history, beating out Princess Diana, who came in fourth. And in case you're wondering -- and you're up on your royal ladies -- yes, Princess Grace (Grace Kelly) was number one, and Queen Raina of Jordan was number two.

Being that there's a whole new feature on Facebook built around just answering "Questions," social media developers realize that people really enjoy giving their opinion. And OkCupid knows it, too. In fact, the dating site has made a name for itself as the "quirky" online matchmaker that asks its users to fill out fun little quizzes and random polls. Somewhere along the line, they decided to merge all of that info to bring us 10 Charts About Sex that basically illustrate "comparisons, correlations, and quirky trends."

There's nothing that says "SPRING!" quite like seeing that brightly colored aisle in your local drugstore filled with Peeps and Cadbury Creme Eggs. But by now, that aisle's been there for a few weeks, and if you jumped to buy the first batch laid out in stores, you may even have stale Easter candy lying around. What's one to do with that?? Make other food, of course!

It seems there's a counterculture of chefs out there who have been going out of their way to multitask with Easter candy. Why not? These candies only come around once a year (well, with the exception of those silly Peeps that have infiltrated holidays like Valentine's Day and Halloween in recent years), so why not use them up in loads of creative -- albeit somewhat crazy -- ways?

Okay, granted, using Peeps to build a S'more isn't all that strange, being that despite being techniCOLOR, they are technically marshmallows. But how about Peep ceviche? Oh

Americans love their jeans, right? I mean, Bruce Springsteen's iconic "Born in the USA" album cover is of pair of jeans. Or dungarees, as you may call them.

I'll admit, lots of my jeans have stretch in them. And, yes, I have been known to rock a pair of jeggings time and again (ones with actual zippers and pockets, though, none of that painted on business).
