Our happy hour fact to amaze your drinking buddies with. .

There is evidence to suggest that those with high I.Q.s stay up later and sleep later.

Researchers from the London School of Economics have found that people with high I.Q.s are more likely to be night owls, whereas folks with lower I.Q.s are more likely to wake up early and function their best during the day. Other studies have found a link between "eveningness" and getting good grades in school.

However, all is not well with those who burn the midnight oil. People who are disposed to staying up late are less reliable and more likely to suffer from depression and various addictions when compared to early risers.

So maybe the old adage should just be early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy.

"Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer," opens nationwide this weekend, raising provocative new questions about how New York's scandalized Democratic ex-governor got a reputation for ... wearing black dress socks during his encounters with call girls.

Director Alex Gibney is known for weightier stuff (like his Oscar-winning "Taxi to the Dark Side" ), but that doesn't stop him from pursuing the important question that shows how what he calls "sexual lies" can wreck a politician's image: Did the governor keep his socks on?

We asked Republican dirty-tricks guru Roger Stone, who claims full credit for alerting the FBI to Spitzer's fashion fail, what's feeding the prejudice against men who wear socks during sex. "It's a weird thing to do," Stone said. Does the Republican swinger with a Richard Nixon tattoo on his back really think there's something wrong with "weird"?

Keep reading to find out how the great sock scandal has affected today's working girl.

We hear ya, buddy. Breakups are pretty terrible. Whether you're the dumper or the dumpee, whether it was a mutual split or you've just had it with each other, ending a relationship can be rough. But, look at the bright side! Now you can go back to finishing "Battlestar Galactica" on DVD and not going on expensive dates. Ah, the single life.

To discuss this heartbreaking topic, Masterclash invited Ryan Kwanten, star of HBO's "True Blood" to talk about his new movie "Red Hill," breakups and whether flatulence acceptance is the threshold of a new relationship ...

On paper, Steve McQueen's "Bullitt" doesn't suggest itself as one of the coolest films of all time. A by-the-numbers crime procedural following the exploits of implausibly named maverick detective Frank Bullitt ("Jimmy Toughcop" must have been taken), Peter Yates' 1968 flick overcomes its shortcomings to rank as an ultra-stylish cult classic.

Notwithstanding one of the all-time great cinema car chases, the movie's appeal has much to do with the presence of Steve McQueen. Grizzled and macho, yet possessing a sophisticated savoir-faire, the late leading man embodied Hollywood cool and -- let's admit it -- sexiness like few others before or since. His career tendency to play himself, meanwhile, matched up perfectly with the film's impassive, enigmatic title role.

Wardrobe-wise, McQueen's Frank Bullitt favored a beatnik vibe -- turtleneck, rumpled jacket, desert boots -- that mirrored the thriller's hippie-era San Francisco setting and tied in with Yates' arty, sepia-tinted cinematography and hip, jazz soundtrack. Check out our take on the timeless ensemble below -- and for full effect channel an attitude that implies you're equally at home reading Kerouac in a coffee bar as flinging a '68 Ford Mustang around city streets in pursuit of evildoers.

Woolrich Navy Turtleneck Pullover
The turtleneck sweater is the most iconic weapon in Lieutenant Frank Bullitt's sartorial arsenal -- a hip, debonair counter to the stuffy, jacket-and-tie conformity of the boys back at the station. This number from old-school outerwear purveyors Woolrich offers a classic beatnik silhouette while being cozy enough to withstand even a San Francisco winter (or summer). ($200 from StyleBop)

Kenneth Cole Reaction Blazer, Herringbone Sportcoat
This vintage-y blazer from Kenneth Cole emulates McQueen's version of Bullitt's tough-but-dapper style -- rumpled and casual without being scruffy. ($130 from Macy's)

Crate Skinny Jean in Black
We'll keep things simple here: just a crisp black pant to complement, without distracting from, the rest of the look. ($101 from Revolve Clothing)

Clarks Originals Suede Desert Boots in Black
Desert Boots have enjoyed a resurgence in popularity of late -- and for good reason. They're versatile, hard-wearing and boast a simple, instantly recognizable design. Plenty of brands offer their own take on this retro kick , but we would opt for the classic Clarks version. ($136 from Asos)

While some women prefer the baby face, others get a kick out of the greasy manliness a solid handlebar can bring to the table. But who are these women who don't mind kissing leftover food particles, finding scraggly little hairs in the sink and enduring the lingering stench of the cheesesteak with onions eaten for lunch? For Movember, check out our gallery of lovely ladies who dig the 'stache. And if you're one of them, don't forget to celebrate Have Sex With a Guy With a Mustache Day!

Only those who've ever put the time and effort into cultivating a quality beard will know the emotional attachment a man can have with his facial hair.

And, as such, only they will be able to truly sympathize with a man who wants to see justice served to two men who shaved his beard and forced him to eat it.

Harvey Westmoreland says the traumatic grooming incident took place in Kentucky last year when he and his brother got into a fight with two former friends ... over a lawn mower.

One of the pals had offered to buy the red lawnmower from Harvey for $250, but when he discovered Harvey had paid only $20 for it, he claimed he was being cheated and became violent.

Somehow, the ensuing scuffle ended up with Harvey being shaved and forced to eat his beard. You know, a typical ending to any fight.

The two assailants both pleaded guilty and are due to appear in court for sentencing next week. Keep reading to see Harvey talk about the incident ... and stroke his chin wishing he still had more whiskers.

Offices are dull and oppressive places -- the jail cells of capitalism, where we are captive for nine hours a day. A minuscule, money-making cog in the hateful self-perpetuating circle-jerk that is capitalism.

What we're saying is that sometimes you just need to alleviate the crushing, stifling routine of office life.

To those ends, we thought we'd get together and try to workshop some practical joke ideas. To get your creative juices flowing, we've dug up some ingenious (and just plain funny) practical joke videos.

As we've learned, abandoned subway stations are awesome.

However, reaching the closed-up train hubs of New York City often means sneaking into unauthorized areas, where you'll face rat posses and possible jail time. But, now you can view the prettiest of all abandoned stations -- legally! -- from the comfort of your own urine-scented subway car.



The old City Hall station (above), which was built in 1904, closed 41 years later to accommodate longer trains. Since then, it's been boarded up and hidden from the public, which is a real shame considering that it's like the Ritz Carlton of subway stations -- tall tile arches, skylights and glitzy brass fixtures run along the curve of the platform.

As Jalopnik reports, you can view the glamorous "miniature Grand Central station" by simply staying put on the 6 train when you reach the end of the line at the new City Hall stop. In the past, they'd make commuters exit the train before it turned around, but now you can stay on, as the train will pass by the City Hall station of yore.

The reflection of the train's lights in the window make it hard to see, so you'll have to push your face against the glass if you want a good view. Then make sure to scrub yourself afterward, because you don't know where that window has been.

Keep reading for more photos of the old-timey station.
