Woman Says Being Declared Dead Ruins Life
(NO, this is not an article from TheOnion, that’s what’s so terrific about the title!)

Whoa, check out this precocious almost 2-year-old’s world geography skills.

(I’m college-educated and can read, yet there are a few I have to think about! This chicklet is clearly good at recall memory and probably spatial skills, as well.)

Stolen from buzban, a fellow voxer (my vox page):

So sad, but so true –

“For a majority of likely voters, meaningless bullshit will be the most important factor in deciding who they will vote for in 2008.” Watch the video

Turn your speakers low or put your headphones on if you’re at work and can’t have some minor adult language uttered without embarrassment or issues.

You’ll want to watch the video twice. Once, to enjoy the primary message. Secondarily, to read the ticker text running on the screen during the video. For example:
“Optimisitic Washington, D.C. think tank brainstorming ways terrorists might surrender.”

Apparently, you really can reach “The End of the Internet.”

Oops.

From the medical research studies whose findings seem a little suspect department comes a study that drinking 1-2 alcoholic drinks per day and exercising offers more cardiac and cholesterol benefits than exercising longer and -not- imbibing at all (or much less than 1-2 drinks/day, at any rate.) They go so far as to say that those who drink 1-2 alcoholic drinks per day and DON’T exercise have the same cardiac benefits as those who do not drink but DO exercise. The study’s sample size and duration? 12,000 people over a 20-year period, so pretty compelling, right?
