Some people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live

I will begin watching Men at Work because the attractive man from Las Vegas is in it. That is the only reason.

Oh blah blah, empathy this, other people that. Blah blah, don’t be selfish. Let people “do their own thing.” You know what? If you’re following this long-term advice of mine, you’re probably getting stepped on. You’re probably getting paid less than other people in your field, or getting the short end of the stick in some other way. Or there’s a cat pooping inside your house right now. While your loser boyfriend is standing there just watching it. Go on, be a beast! Who’s going to think about you except for you? Instead of thinking about other people, why not roll up into work or the unemployment line or the Internet in general today and stab whoever’s trying to ruin you until they bleed to death? Someone has to do it. Why not make it you? You’ll feel much better. This gets easier the more you do it. Grab onto yourself with both hands and hug yourself until you feel like a gleaming Angel of Death and then go out and execute! (Not literally. Going to jail is also really terrible.) But you know, “virtually” execute. Everyone’s friend is everyone’s fool. Who’s going to think about you, if your job and your cat and your boyfriend won’t?

You are superior in only one respect. You are better at dying.

Permalink jtotheizzoe: Mice That Eat Yogurt Have Larger … Whoa, WHAT?! An MIT team set out to study the effects of a high-fat, low-fiber diet in mice that also ate yogurt. You know, basically “Can probiotic supplements help overcome a crappy diet?” What they found surprised them. Mice that ate yogurt were shiny, and had thick, dense, healthy hair, like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. The males also, well … I don’t know exactly how to say this … they walked with a certain “swagger”. That’s because the testicles of the yogurt-eating males were 15% larger than the junk food mice. Not only were they bigger, but they produced more pups when they mated with females. Females weren’t left out, though. Yogurt-eaters gave birth to healthier, bigger litters. Surely you’re thinking “So, Biology Man, if I eat yogurt by the wheelbarrow-full, will I turn into Don Juan of the breakfast buffet?” Well, we don’t know how dietary observations like this translate to humans quite yet. But probiotic foods like yogurt likely create a healthier microbiome in the mouse gut, leading to less inflammation and a stronger immune system. All of that leads to a healthier, more virile mouse. Hey, it’s good for ya. Couldn’t hurt. (via Scientific American)
