1.)     If your name is Brian or Helen, chances are you’ve got a great credit score.    Research was done to show which names are tied to the highest and lowest average credit scores.    Among women, Helen was followed by Susan, Julie and Elizabeth.    The men’s names with the best credit scores after Brian were Alan, Ian and Peter.    On the bottom end, Lisa, Victoria, Emma, Nicola and Claire were the women’s names with the lowest credit scores, while Daniel, Lee, Matthew, Steven and Christopher were the male names with less than average credit scores.

2.)     You might consider them the most comfortable and casual cities in our country … or the places where most people have given up on trying to look their best.      The company Experian just wrapped up a survey where they asked people if they’ve bought and worn sweatpants in the last year.      3 cities from Pennsylvania made the top 10, including two of the top 3.     Pittsburgh was at number 3 on the list, with Hartford Connecticut number two.    The top U.S. city for sweatpants -- Philadelphia.
 Here's the entire Top Ten:
#1.) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
#2.) Hartford, Connecticut.
#3.) Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
#4.) Lafayette, Louisiana.
#5.) Laredo, Texas.
#6.) Boston, Massachusetts.
#7.) New York, New York.
#8.) Los Angeles, California.
#9.) Victoria, Texas.
#10.) Scranton, Pennsylvania.

3.)     If you’ve ever wondered how many calories are contained in the alcohol in your gas tank, we now know thanks to the New England Complex Sciences Institute.      Corn-based ethanol is really just grain alcohol, and most gas sold contains about 10 percent ethanol, and ethanol may consume as much as 40 percent of our nation’s corn crop this year.    And while you would never directly eat ethanol, we do consume it in other forms, like corn oil or cornbread.     So how many calories are in your tank?     Just over 25 thousand, which is enough to provide the daily minimum amount of calories for 22 people.
