The ONT Is Always Looking Out For You^TM

If your trusty toothbrush has been with you for so long that you can’t even remember buying it, you might want to trot on down to the nearest drugstore posthaste.

According to the American Dental Association—not to mention countless dentists and toothbrush manufacturers—we should all be replacing our toothbrushes (or toothbrush heads, if your brush is electric) about every three to four months. And if the bristles look frayed earlier than that, feel free to do it more frequently. The advice isn’t just a marketing ploy by Big Dental to get you to shell out more bucks on brushes. For one, overused bristles can’t scrub plaque from your pearly whites as effectively, and they can also be rough on your gums

AY 26--Proving again that Florida Man + Speedo = trouble, a 64-year-old retiree was arrested Tuesday for allegedly exposing himself to a female beachgoer, according to a police report.

Investigators say Charles Hixon was busted Tuesday afternoon for indecent exposure following an incident at Sunset Beach in Tarpon Springs, a Tampa suburb.

Hixon was in the water “about knee deep wearing a Speedo” when he pulled down the front of his swimsuit and exposed his penis, cops allege. Hixon, seen above, was allegedly “holding it in his hand” while staring and grinning at the 28-year-old victim, who was on the beach.
