I’ve never really understood Cosmo’s approach to sex advice. Cracked once featured an article showing some of the weird, creepy, and sometimes horrifically dangerous tips the ladies mag dishes out, including (but not limited to ) biting your dude’s SCROTUM, to give you an idea. So when Gizmodo recently revealed that Cosmo had created a “sex position of the day” app, we were sure it would produce some great laughs, and probabaly a few cringes from the guys.

As you can see above, the app gives you the position name(Passion Pretzel? Are you sh—ing me?) a description of how to perform the ridiculous position (mmm, nothing is as sexy as a woman awkwardly wedging her body against a bathtub) as well as a “carnal challenge” rating, with one to five flames to let you know the likelihood that you’ll fail at even getting into the position and end up sadly eating a bag of Fritos naked on the bathroom floor.

On the app rating scale, we give the Cosmo sex position of the day 2 stars — that extra one comes from the laughs.

We over here at the BCU offices don’t condone illegal activity, which means, of course, that we definitely don’t indulge in the celebrations that some do on this 20th of April. However, if we were to, we’d probably utilize the new KLUCKR app for the iPhone.

The KLUCKR app is a program that helps you find the best chicken wings in your area, based on Heat, Variety, Quantity, Value, and Atmosphere. It’s free, and you can even add to it if you feel they’re missing a hot spot.

Imagine you wake up with a raging hangover and a craving for a dozen of the best super spicy wings at a really cheap price in San Diego. KLUCKR sends you to Bubs Dive Bar in Pacific Beach. Based on my experience there, this is pretty damn accurate. Check out the KLUCKR app today, but not if you have a booty call set up for later!

So we’ve covered the Playboy app and the Fap App, and now you’re thinking, well that’s great, all that stimulation from my phone, where do I find some real action? Well, obviously your answer is at your fingertips (OBC, silly!), but if you’re out shopping and are in need of a hookup, the PinpointsX app is what you’ll need. Membership to the program will sign up your phone to the GPS system, helping you locate other singles, couples, or escort services in your area on your “Passion Map”…

We’re not so sure about this little program… maybe if the device could direct you to the nearest STD clinic, we’d be set!

Colorado filmmaker Dan Woolley was in Haiti filming a documentary when the country was rocked by a 7.0 earthquake last Tuesday. When the building he was in collapsed on top of him, he feared he would die. That is, until he remembered he had his iPhone with him.

He first used the flashlight feature to find his way into an elevator shaft. Then he used a medical app to diagnose his broken foot, learn how to fold a makeshift bandage and tourniquet, and how to stop the bleeding from his head. Here’s where it gets crazy: because Wooley read that falling asleep while being in shock can be fatal, he set his iPhone alarm to go off every 20 minutes. Each of these different iPhone apps were essential to helping this man survive the 65 hours until help came. I would have just played “Words With Friends” until somebody came looking for me.

Apple for the win!

Wired Magazine just posted a pretty funny list of things we’ll most likely be saying to our grand children in the far flung future. It wasn’t so long ago that we had no idea what a “tweet” was and mobile phones weighed 10 pounds.

Our personal favorite? Number 3: “Televised contests gave cash prizes to whoever could store the most data in their head.”
