Five Times You Should Lie to Your Boss
FULL STORY: In general, you shouldn't lie to your boss. But according to the author of a book called "Business Without the [B.S.]", here are five situations where lying to your boss is actually a GOOD idea.
1. When you're protecting a co-worker. For example, maybe someone calls in sick, and you know it's because they drank too much at a party the night before. It's not YOUR job to offer up that information to the boss.
And even if they ask, you're better off saying you don't know anything, because it's safer to not get involved.
2. When you're looking for a different job. Obviously, there's no need to tell anyone about it, just like your boss wouldn't tell you if they were planning to lay people off.
3. When they ask how they look. Like before a big meeting or something. Unless there's something glaring, like a stain on their shirt, just say they look great. Chances are all they want is an ego boost.
4. When they tell a lame joke. Even if it's the tenth time you've heard it, you HAVE force a laugh. Especially if it's in front of a client.
5. When they ask about anything personal you don't want to talk about. Chances are they're just trying to be friendly. But if you don't want to talk about it, it's perfectly fair to lie all you want.

Four Mind-Blowing Theories About Your Favorite Movies
Fans come up with some bizarre theories about their favorite movies. And no matter how ridiculous some of them may be, they're still fun to think about. MTV.com put together a list of 29 of them.
1. "James Bond" is just a codename, like 007. That's why Bond can just go around telling everybody his name without his identity being compromised. It also explains why he hasn't aged since the '60s, and his appearance has changed so many times.
2. Harry Potter is a mental patient. He's not a wizard and there's no Hogwarts. Harry is just a kid in an asylum, and Lord Voldermort is an alter ego he must "defeat" in order to regain his sanity.
3. E.T. is a Jedi. As you may recall, there are members of E.T.'s species in "Star Wars – Episode 1: The Phantom Menace". Also, in "E.T." there's a scene where he sees a kid in a Yoda costume and says, "Home!"
4. Sandy from "Grease" is actually DEAD. You know how Danny saved her when she "nearly drowned"? Well, he didn't. As he desperately tried to resuscitate her, her oxygen-starved brain made up the whole high school fantasy.
And the final scene where she and Danny get into a car that takes flight? That's where she actually DIES and flies up to Heaven.
Couples Who Meet Online Are More Likely to Break Up
A new study out of Michigan State University found couples who meet online or through a dating app are more likely to break up than couples who meet the old-fashioned way.
The theory here is that it's too easy to meet someone online . . . so people put less thought into whether they really have long-term potential with someone before they dive into a relationship. And in a different study, about one in three people between 18 and 25 have had SEX with someone they met through a dating app like Tinder.
But . . . it's not particularly GOOD sex. When people rated the sex they had with someone from Tinder versus sex with someone they met offline, the Tinder sex got lower scores in every category: Duration, excitement, comfort, and satisfaction.
The Sexy "Frozen" Halloween Costumes Have Arrived . . . Including a Sexy "Olaf the Snowman" Costume?
A costume company called Yandy created some sexy "Frozen" costumes . . . including a sexy women's "Olaf the Snowman" costume. It involves an unsexy fake carrot nose, a white leotard, and tall white stockings.
The other "Frozen" Halloween costumes are much more in line with what you'd expect.
The sexy Anna is just basically the outfit the character wears in the movie with a short skirt and some black stockings. Sexy Elsa is just a short, turquoise dress. They didn't make other sexy "Frozen" costumes . . . sorry, no sexy Sven the Reindeer, ladies.
BUT . . . there's a twist. All of these costumes are unauthorized by Disney. The website never actually says they're "Frozen" costumes, but it's clear they are.
That's probably why the website had temporarily pulled them down yesterday. If they do go back on sale, they range in price from $37 for Olaf to $100 for Elsa.
