After blinking several times, I gave up and went to Borders. Actually, I walked in with no intention of buying this book, but you know how books are. They jump off the shelves, right into your hands, and before you know it, you're both drunk at the end of the night walking out the door...
Could it be that the media dumbs down the content of its broadcasts and narrows the scopes of its topics for the less literate of the public, possibly dragging the rest of the public down? If you make a broadcast that is over people's heads, a large percentage of the population will not watch...
A coworker let me borrow this today. Very weird. Great artwork. It's a graphic novel take on Franz Kafka's story of the same name. I will have to sink myself into it a little more before I form a solid opinion. Anybody else read it or any of Kuper's other work?
Dire, you should stop holding your breath. You've turned blue since I was here last.
I can't say I had what some would call a "spiritual" experience. On top of that, I was stressed all weekend, and I can't say it even relieved that. I liked the fact that the book was a melting pot of...
I read this book over the weekend, and I couldn't put it down. It was basically a book of proverbs bound together with a mixture of Western and Eastern religious ideas.
This makes no sense. She accepts (as do I) that testosterone leads to more aggressive sexual activity and baldness, but she doesn't accept the fact that the post orgasm surge in men's estrogen levels (corresponding to a lowered testosterone level) can have a negative effect on athletic...
Cool, but, uh, this is the wrong thread. Here's the KV thread link: http://forums.thebookforum.com/showthread.php?t=3962
If you know him, maybe you could get him to stop by sometime.
Happy Birthday, MotoHead. Go get tore down, you crazy kid. No riding the bike when plastered! I don't care how many stunts you can do when filled with liquid courage.
UK ER Docs Call for Ban on Kitchen Knives
Speaking of protecting people from themselves, how does the proposition of this law strike you, Motokid? This could be carried over to the Only in the UK thread as well.

Going slightly off subject, have you guys looked into the research on fatty acids? A friend of mine, huge guy, used horse steroids, suggested CLA and ALA to me a few years ago for weightloss. I did some research on them, and CLA does have possibly have some real health benefits. I found a...
Yeah, Bobby, I had heard of the raw diet. Thanks for the rundown Krys. Your post raps up what I'd heard about it. I also knew a guy that lost a lot of weight and gained a lot strength while on the "Adam and Eve Diet", which only allowed things that Adam and Eve would've eaten in the Garden of...
You've got to remember, Wabbit, that a CEO can be held legally responsible if he makes a decision that he knows will negatively affect profits. That's right. He faces jail time, well, here in the US anyway. There's a good incentive not to change your ways. The solid evidence is really...
Well, don't forget the other side. Manufacturers started using corn syrup because it made food processing easier and cheaper. So, now more food is made, and it's sold more affordably. I don't think you can blame the guys who made corn syrup. Now, it's become an industry standard, and it's...
"Holla" is slang for "Holler", which means to yell or shout. You may have heard a DJ or rap artist say, "Let me give a shout out to my boy!" Well, a few years later, we have, "Let me holler at my boy." It's just a new way of saying the same thing. "Holler" is pronounced hol'-la in some North...
My sister in law took her children to the doctor, and the doctor told her their blood fat was throught the roof. He then told her she needed to make them eat more vegetables. She just got another doctor. Kill the messenger.
From my understanding, the only thing that doesn't contain processed sugar is soylent green.
Seriously though. Vegetables. Whole grains (oatmeal). Fruits contain sugar, but not processed sugar. There are several different kinds of sugars. Some are more readily stored as fat and some...
According to the mag Men's Health, there's a correlation between when food manufacturers started using high fructose corn syrup and steep increases in obesity and diabetes rates. Also, there's a correlation between those things and the introduction of the supersized fastfood meal. Listen to...
