This is one of those posts about things that probably don’t mean anything. I recently started taking eye drops for too much pressure in my eyes. Worst case scenario, I have mild glaucoma. They seem to be working pretty good. I had experienced a headache for about a year that my eye doc finally decided [...]

That extra 5%
Posted in Health on Oct 7th, 2008
My local paper ran a story about meth being on the rise again. That part of the story didn’t surprise me or anything. However, they ran a graph that really had nothing to do with the rest of the story that I did find interesting:
Basically, it shows that meth use destroys up to 5% of [...]
Recycling news? Get a grip I guess
Posted in Health, Oddities, Psychology on Apr 24th, 2008
Here’s the rather enticing headline from Fox today:
Study: Masturbation May Prevent Prostate Cancer
Now, this is great news for me. I won’t go into a lot of detail as to why. Let’s just say I”m not a high-prostate cancer risk according to that study. However, that study is more the point of this post than the [...]
Largest Beef Recall ever
Posted in Health on Feb 18th, 2008
Man, I hate seeing those words. I live as much as possible on beef.
Chicken, pork, most other meats I could do without. But beef? That’s bad
news. However, if one delves into the situation a little more it becomes a
little different I think:
CALIFORNIA FIRM RECALLS BEEF PRODUCTS DERIVED FROM NON-AMBULATORY CATTLE WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF PROPER [...]
I was sent this video by Mrs. Moon:
Now, I watched it intently, as it depicts sad kids. I don’t want Moonlet to be sad. So, I immediately began searching for a cooties inoculation shot. I was flabbergasted when googling “cooties inoculation” I got this profound result:
Results 1 - 1 of 1 for “cooties inoculation“. (0.11 [...]
11% of Men Have Multiple Sex Partners
Posted in Health, Silly science on Nov 1st, 2007
That’s the headline. Here’s some meat ( yeah, pun intended ):
More than 4,900 men ages 15-44 participated in telephone interviews about their sex lives, including the dates during which they were in sexual relationships in the previous year.
Concurrent sexual relationships were particularly common among these groups:
Unmarried men
Men who had been in prison
Men who [...]
What’s that you say?
Posted in Health on Oct 19th, 2007
This is almost funny to me:
Users of impotence drugs, such as Viagra, may suffer sudden hearing loss, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
It’s not clear that the drugs truly trigger hearing loss, but the Food and Drug Administration decided Thursday the drugs would bear a warning about the possible risk after counting 29 reports [...]
Finding that pesky gay gene
Posted in Health, Psychology, Religion on Oct 16th, 2007
DePaul University has recruited a whole bunch of gay brothers to try to find a gay gene. This follows up on the multitude of attempts to find this gay gene in the past. The new research is going about it from a different perspective, I think it has a real chance.
For some inexplicable reason, Fox [...]
Cell phone flashbacks?
Posted in Health, Technology on Oct 12th, 2007
Here’s the story:
If your hipbone is connected to your BlackBerry or your thighbone is connected to your cell phone, those vibrations you’re feeling in the car, in your pajamas, in the shower, may be coming from your headbone.
Many mobile phone addicts and BlackBerry junkies report feeling vibrations when there are none, or feeling as if [...]
The Wrath of Khan is real?
Posted in Animal Kingdom, Health on Sep 27th, 2007
Remember that scene from Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan where Khan places this bug in Chekov’s ear that eats its way to his brain and turns him into an automaton for Kahn? I do. It kind of unnerved me at the time. That was exactly twenty-five years ago. That entire time I [...]
