Throughout his run as British Secret Service agent James Bond, actor Sean Connery wore a toupe. Despite being just 31 years of age, the Scottish legend was balding. Not wanting the suave and sophisticated Bond to have a bald patch, Connery was given a toupe to wear. To be fair, it actually looks pretty good considering the time the films were made. Plus, the Bond franchise probably wouldn’t have been as successful if sex symbol Connery didn’t have a full head of hair.

In fact, coffee and tea can count toward your daily water requirement! Just don't consume more than 400 mg of caffeine per day, and remember that plain water is still the best beverage available.

For individuals who fantasize of being buried at sea, Eternal Reefs has devised a novel option.
