Exploring Life’s Origins
Posted by: | CommentsI Stumbled Upon a great website I would like to share with you. The website is called Exploring Life’s Origins and the purpose of the website, as you can imagine, is to explain life’s origins. it is brought in a very graphical way which facilitates understanding and it’s aimed at everyone. There are easy explanations of complex stuff like DNA and evolution backed with videos and images. Have a look and spend a couple of minutes there, it’s worth it:
Eat chocolate and cut your risk of heart disease?
Posted by: | CommentsAn interesting article surfaced today on cnn.com regarding scientists in the UK looking for 150 women willing to eat chocolate for a year as part of a study. Don’t worry, it’s not a “Supersize me II”, the women aren’t expected to eat only chocolate for a year; it will be introduced into their diet.
The goal of the trial at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, eastern England is to test whether a natural compound found in cocoa could cut the risk of heart disease among women with diabetes.
The chocolate used in the study is a special type of chocolate :
A Belgian confectionist has created the special chocolate bar containing high levels of flavonoids — a plant compound that has been shown to reduce heart risk factors — to be used in the experiment. Soy, another natural source of flavonoids, has also been added to the bar.
And the hypothesis behind that study is:
“The hypothesis of this exciting study is that flavonoids may improve the level of protection against heart disease over and above that provided by conventional drugs,” said Dr. Ketan Dhatariya, a consultant in diabetes at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
I guess there are a lot of worst studies to be part of. Actually, eating chocolate for a whole year with the only goal of helping science is kind of interresting…
UK readers, jump on that one!

Where can u buy condoms and how much do they cost?
Posted by: | CommentsThis is the Yahoo! Answer of the day. I found that while browsing Yahoo! Answer today and I was quite surprised. Here are the details from the person asking the question:
i really need to know cuz well u get the idea but what kind of stores are they at and are they expensive or cheap like how much usually. store exapmles target, walgreens any places like that do they sell them let me know
We really have a problem there. I mean, if there is something I thought everyone was aware of is where to buy condoms. If there are still people not knowing that, we definitively have a society problem. I just thought that was interesting and worth posting.
It seems there’s still a lot of work to do in term of sexual education with teenagers…
I ate 4,000 calories today and didn’t exercise.
Posted by: | Comments
I’m a big fan of Yahoo! Answers. There’s funny questions to laugh about and also a lot of valuable answers. It all depend what you search for. For people not knowing what Yahoo! Answer is, it is basically a place where anyone can ask a question and the community answers your question the best they can. I found a gem today and I’m providing you with the question here:
This morning, I got up and had a Slim Fast 250 calorie drink in a can and then worked on the computer. I have a home office where I do photo retouching and graphic design. I sometimes sit at my computer for hours without getting up off the chair. I bought a gym membership but haven’t went since three days ago.
I was doing really good eating wise today until at 10 pm when I had a massive hunger strike. I had only eaten about 1,800 calories total (the slim fast drink and meal bar, dannon fusion yogurt smoothie drink and a sensible 700 cal dinner). I went to Taco Bueno and got a meal plus another taco. It didn’t seem like a lot at the time.
I was curious after I ate it and looked online to see that I had eaten a total of 2,200 calories! I couldn’t believe how many I ate without thinking about it. Is there anything I can do to prevent this overwhelming of hunger from happening again? Please no cruel answers. I need to lose weight for my health and need to stop this self sabatoge!
Is it just me or there’s nothing to answer there? How to prevent this overwhelming of hunger? Damn just don’t get a 2,200 calories meal at 10 pm. What I find quite funny is:
I went to Taco Bueno and got a meal plus another taco. It didn’t seem like a lot at the time.
Aright, is it just me or a meal + another taco does seem a lot? When I order a McDonald’s meal and an extra burger at 10 pm, I do know it’s not good. Don’t tell me she didn’t know what to expect. Don’t just a taco was ok? Or just the meal? Did you really have to order all that to satisfy your hunger strike?
Sometimes people post funny stuff on Yahoo Answers. You get your answer just by asking the question. You’ll tell me the real question was how to prevent this overwhelming of hunger from happening again and not how to loose weight. I agree, but there’s no secret there, I know a lot of people who lost a lot of weight and guess what? Eat well, exercise well and a bit of self control. I guess when you really want…
In fact the person asked the question knowing what the answers would be…Because there’s really no secret and it’s common sense.
Maybe I can’t understand as I’ve never had any weight problems and I can mostly eat what I want without worrying, but I honestly think it’s a ridiculous question considering the context. I know it’s hard to loose weight and it’s not what this is about. It’s about common sense: Eat 2,200 extra calories when there’s really an easy way of eating less(like just a taco or just ONE meal) I don’t think you can complain much.
Alex Chiu Super Chi Flush ‘healing feeling’ scam
Posted by: | CommentsI wrote before about Alex’s Chiu’s immortality rings and Gorgeouspil. If you read the article, you’ll notice the guy is completely crazy and selling amazing crap to people. I was just browsing around and I noticed a new product from Alex Chiu. It might not be new as maybe I just didn’t notice it the last time, but it’s one more crazy product. After the immortality rings and the eternal beauty pills Gorgeouspil, here is “Super Chi Flush”.
What the hell is Super Chi Flush?
Super Chi Flush’s herbal compound is strong enough to break the toughest clogs in your body. It will send Chi energy into any area of your body. Super Chi Flush will allow you to feel healing throughout the entire body. You will feel constant healing for the entire healing session. (around 2 hours) So you can enjoy 2 hours of very strong and noticeable ‘healing feeling’ every night at your most critically blocked area.
Super Chi Flush fights the toughest clogs in the body slowly opening up the blockades which hindered the flow of Chi energy. The end result is that the entire body’s Chi flow will eventually be unclogged. Could this mean that all handicaps, tumor, herpes, cancer, etc. will all be flushed away by Super Chi Flush? No medical claim, so you decide.
Super Chi Flush is green-food powder that contains only natural herbs. Absolutely no side affect. Super Chi Flush does not work without Gorgeouspil and the Immortality Rings.
Direction of use: Dump 3 teaspoons of Super Chi Flush powder into half a cup of cold or warm water. Mix well. Drink it along with Gorgeouspil 20 minutes before you go to bed for healing.
The Price
It cost 24$ for one month supply or 48$ if you buy it with a bottle of gorgeouspil!
The Scam
God this is one more amazing scam from Alex Chiu. The beauty here is that he’s saying the product doesn’t work without Gorgeouspil AND the immortality rings. This is such a failure because the immortality rings give you eternal life, the Gorgeouspil gives you eternal beauty and healing power, then why the hell do you need to be healed if you have eternal life? I mean for me immortality ring means I don’t have to bother about health anymore.
He’s not that dumb, he thought about it:
The Immortality Rings re-align and regroup your body faster than it ages. Therefore it is believed to reverse the aging process. But if you have a serious handicap or a giant tumor, the rings alone cannot cure you.
Well followed by:
Could this mean that all handicaps, tumor, herpes, cancer, etc. will all be flushed away by Super Chi Flush? No medical claim, so you decide.
In the end, you’re screwed.
Anyway, just thought it would be nice to point this out.
