Strawberries work!

Earlier I mentioned how studies show that eating strawberries can help with stomachs that get upset from drinking.

Well a friend of mine tried that after reading it on the site.... and it works!

So all you binge drinkers, get to incorporating some strawberries in your diet.

Watching dumb tv makes people dumb?

Apparently, according to the survey.

Parents may want to keep their kids away from the Jersey Shore and other such programs.

Seriously, what the hell Bill Gates?

Boys over Flowers

If, for some reason, you ever wanted to watch over 25 hours of Korean drama (probably 30 with the commercials), you're free to do so here.

You gonna talk about rape....

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/view/33870/

Long-time readers of the site will know that I have an enormous paranoida about prison rape which has resulted in an obsession on the topic of rape.

Well, no longer content merely to occasionally harp on the subject here I've decided to branch out and get the largest anime website on the internet to discuss the topic.  That site being.... Anime News Network.

So how did my fiendish plan unfurl?  Quite simple, really.... I submitted a question to their Answerman....

 

More soldiers commit suicide than die on the battlefield

http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/1-more-us-soldiers-c...

So it looks like more soldiers are committing suicide each year than dying by enemy fire.

It's a strange statistic which shows just how enormous the mental cost of participating in a neverending war can be.

TV Shows in the 90's

UNHAPPILY EVER AFTER

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlqAK0bFPOY&feature=results_video&playnex...

Best described as a "poor man's Married with Children" it was a pretty funny show.  Aside from Nikki Cox the main selling point was Comedian Bobcat's character, a talking stuffed bunny named Fluffy that the deranged father of the family would frequently have imaginary (or not, I forget which) conversations with.

Schools becoming increasingly more like police-states

A sad article about the state of the times.

Apparently since Columbine, many schools have heavily militarized by increasing police presence and arresting children and teenagers for minor infractions.

NFL player goes to prison for 6 years over drugs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9LX7Uo0B50&feature=player_embedded

To me this is insane.  This guy has problems with his addiction.... but how on earth is locking him up with a bunch of pimps, child-molesters, rapists, prison rapists, murderers, Mafia hitmen, Bloods and Crips and various thieves supposed to help him out?

He's lucky he's a respected football player, and not some poor skinny kid that's shy and pretty-looking.

Burger calories

http://www.livestrong.com/article/282445-calories-in-a-buffalo-burger/

So apparently half a pound of beef burger has about 680 calories whereas buffalo has about 420 calories.

Not too surprising.... buffalo are leaner, tougher and healthier and eat grass as opposed to being force-fed tons of corn.

Maybe I should start eating more buffalo? (it's not as soft as beef though, and is a lot chewier to bite into)
