A state legislator from Brooklyn wants to have salt banned in NY eateries
Granted, many chefs can tell you that salt is used as a seasoning and a tool to bring out flavors. It’s not an evil diaboilical conspiracy tool.
People would serve themselves better by cutting out junk food if they want to lower their sodium levels.
A discussion of fashion from the Academy Awards last night…
Note to self: it’s time to invest in an MP3 player….
Importing pens into the United States from overseas–even if they’re just for promotional purposes requires extra customs documentation. This includes a declaration that the imported items do not contain toxic chemicals.
Even if they’re just plain old pens.
CAn’t say that I don’t learn something new everyday at the office….
Weight Watchers’ endorsement of McDonald’s (in New Zeland)
Now what exactly on McDonald’s menu is nutritious? A cup of water? A bowl of lettuce? The Filet o Fish and the chicken nuggets contain not only a small portion of meat/fish–but a ton of other less than healthy crap too!
Vinny and Snooki from the Jersey Shore make an appearance at a purim party.
Their apparel and fake tans however, were not costumes….
Look at the pants on the Norwegan curling team
Could these catch on like Zubas did in t he 90s?
Reuters: Mint fires boss over coin typo
SANTIAGO (Reuters) – Chile’s mint has sacked its managing director after he sent into circulation thousands of coins bearing an incorrect spelling of the country’s name
From Fark:
Apparently there is a database of over 300,000 ER visits involving injuries and consumer products.
A quick glance at the database makes me really feel bad for the Emergency Department doctors who have to deal with some of these cases. (Especially the ones highlighted in the Fark thread).
I’ve learned from working with physicians, that sometimes, you’re just left shaking your head.
No danger on Sunday flight _ just an ill passenger
Should’ve taken the lasagna….
The Browns have managed to win two games in a row!
More important—the Browns knew how to engineer a winning streak?
Harrison and Cribbs both had huge games today.
Looks like life in the bizzaro world continues…
Making Ashley “Krisiten” Dupre it’s new sex columnist.
Granted, I’m admitted fan of the Post, but mainly for it’s coverage of local news and opinion page. [I don't even bother with Page Six]
For those who don’t know who Dupre is–she was the call girl with whom then Governor Spitzer was caught with.
I guess it was only inevitable that someone would pen a column about the race of Tiger Wood’s mistresses.
Seriously now…is this the best thing that columnists can come up with to write about???
This is just too adorable;
Only if it were a guinea pig could it have been any cuter!
So one of the HVAC units failed again at work today. This time it was one of the fan holders broke.
However, the office, with all of it’s technology, needs a cooling system (high powered computers give off a lot of heat). The frantic solution we came up with–get some fans!
Now, for context, I work in Manhattan–so it’s not like I’m in a suburban office where I can jump in a car and drive to the store. Nope, it’s schlepp what you buy.
So for who knows what reason, I got stuck going out to the neighborhood hardware store to buy some fans. Problem was, the only way to transport the fans back to the office was…
….one of those shopping carts….
Talk about an embarrasing an emasculating experience!
(and in the end, the HVAC guys were able to scramble some help and get the unit repaired this evening)
But even still…this is bizarre even for the Left-Left Coast:
Protesters want the UK to follow San Francisco, where a law bans “fat-ism” in housing and employment and stops doctors pressing patients to slim down.
Sondra Solway, a San Francisco lawyer, said: “The San Francisco ordinance says you may want to mention weight to the patient but if the patient says they do not want to talk about that then you are asked to respect those wishes.” –BBC
So much for physicians encouraging health in SF….
Mom Arrested for Washing Kid’s Mouth With Soap!?!??!?!
Whaat is our society coming to???
Yeah…I don’t understand it either.
Then again, the “Peace Prize” is pretty much worthless in my book. I care more about the prizes for chemiistry, physics and physiology/medicine much more.
[I needn't say more, because by this point int he day, you've likely heard it all]
