Apparently, applying a little electrical current to the right place in the right way can make you better at math(s). Conversely, applying it the wrong way can make you worse.

And they're not sure if it'll have other effects.

This is a zany sitcom scenario waiting to happen.

A friend of mine emailed me this, I'm not sure where he got it so I can't link. Also, I bet this has been posted before. Well, here it is again.

Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it... Don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap.


Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. Bottom up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have body and you have fat, your ratio one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No pain...good!

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food are fried these day in vegetable oil. In fact, they permeated by it. How could getting more vegetable be bad for you?!?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy?!? HEL-LO-O!! Cocoa bean! Another vegetable! It best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming good for your figure, explain whale to me..

Q: Is getting in shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is shape!


Well... I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

AND.....

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans..

5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.


CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

WARNING: If you think of yourself as bad at sudoku, this could be a little depressing.

Inconceivable!

Are you sure that's NASA and not Apple?

"New iLife. This changes everything."

Seriously, though, that's pretty durned cool. And opens up an interesting can of worms ...

And here are some weird new animals, or at least previously undiscovered.

Octopus FTW!

"potato earth" shows how gravity affects earth's landmass

well, it looks like the US has some of the weakest gravity on earth, no wonder we have so many obese children? they're overcompensating to counterbalance the european gravity so the earth will rotate correctly...

How thoughtful of them.

Also thoughtful: http://thereifixedit.failblog.org/2011/ ... ghten-you/

Look at how I'm totally rubbing in our European gravity by standing on the floor.

Ha, I didn't notice this. If I'm in the US any time soon I'll see if I can bring you some of my spare gravity. I have SO MUCH

You heard the man. Bring some back and add it to our awesome gravity collection.

Ten years scientists had tried to solve the puzzle and a group of gamers found a solution in ten days. That's pretty a-fucking-mazing!

I wonder how they approached it.

That article was amazing

This video was uploaded last year, but I haven't heard about this until now. It's incredible. Do not watch if you are squeamish about burnt skin.
