I Want My Country Back!!!
I know politics is Taboo on this Blog but this does not sit well with me.
Just one bit of info before you press play. This was taken in 1994, before “Tricky Dick the Second” Cheney became Vice President.
Can’t come up with any ideas? Give this a spin.
How about “oversized virtual furniture” or “revolutionary concrete garden .” Anybody?
How Stuff Works
This is an awesome website.
I was doing some research on mortgages and went straight to this website. What caught my eye were some of the featured articles on the main page:
When you really think about it, kissing is pretty gross. It involves saliva and mucous membranes, and it may have historical roots in chewed-up food. Experts estimate that hundreds or even millions of bacterial colonies move from one mouth to another during a kiss. Doctors have also linked kissing to the spread of diseases like meningitis, herpes and mononucleosis.
If you believe what you see on TV, women are inscrutable, conniving, hysterical and apt to change their minds without reason or warning. Some women’s magazines perpetuate these stereotypes by offering advice on how to entrap men or keep them guessing. And some of the basic differences between men and women can seem a little confusing, depending on your point of view.
As hormones go, testosterone doesn’t always have the best reputation. It’s a key ingredient in most anabolic steroids, which can lead to aggression and infertility. A 2006 study showed that too much of it can kill brain cells [Source: CNN]. And some women hold it accountable for just about any stereotypically masculine behavior, from a love of sports to a reluctance to ask for directions.

(Dead) Flesh-eating FIsh Making Way to Spa Near You
Something about this makes me cringe. Could it be the flesh-eating fish?
Garra Rufa, a type of small tropical fish, also nicknamed Chinchin Yu, nibble fish or simply doctor fish, are put in hot springs. As they can live and swim freely in at least 43-degree-hot waters, they are naturally used for the treatment of skin diseases in such spas. When placed in the spa, these fish can feed themselves on the dead cells of the human body, since they only consume such cells, leaving the healthy skin of the human body to grow. The whole process is reportedly free of pain. It won’t hurt and the bather might feel a pleasant tingling on his or her skin.
