There is a self-obsessed chick-lit Hudson/McConaughey romantic comedy in there somewhere, I just know it…

Absolutely Terrifying, but so far 2 people have died from a fresh-water amoeba via Neti-Pot nasal irrigation in Louisiana.
IIt turns out it’s MUCH easier for bad things to cross into the brain if they get up in the sinus cavity via your nose.
Both victims died of encephalitis.
There is no way to know if the microbe, or something similar, is in your own water or not without specific testing.
Usually most people don’t read the manual, and…

In a Study of about ~500 12-year-olds, it turns out playing video games is linked to Increases in Creativity.
Not sure what exactly it is,
But there always seemed to be something about High-School that changed the way peoples’ brains worked,
Right up until they were about 26.
-Probably just excessive preoccupation with the opposite sex.
So in a way this research doesn’t surprise…

Okay, so there are about 4 levels of brain-wave frequencies.
Going from Highest to Lowest frequencies, they are: Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta.
Those Greek names correspond to 10+Hz, 8-10Hz, 4-8Hz, and 0-4Hz.
Aside from the hippie, crunchy-granola crowd stinking up the local dreadlocked-patchouli hoe-downs at Jack Johnson’s Honolulu Dookie Ranch,

But I’m assuming the premise Also extends out to mean [ed: oh, F***! -bad news for me, then; eh?]
That working with people who are less-intelligent but much nicer, is significantly better than working for/with a Brilliant Sociopath.
(Bounce that one off anyone who worked at Apple! :P )
So: Eight hours Sleep, 2+ Hours Commuting & Travel, ~3 Hours Eating, + Various Prep time, == You will be spending almost as much time with your co-workers,…

The flavonoids in wine and grapes can protect skin cells from death by chocolate UV radiation, says a study by U. Barcelona and the National Research Council of Spain.
Not sure if this study was funded by the Rioja Vintners Chamber of Commerce, but it does make a certain amount of ~sense-ish.
Some sources are reporting that if you Drink Wine or Eat Grapes, it can help.
Erm, I may have read the glaringly-brief Abstracts incorrectly, but I thought the experiments were not carried out on humans, but…

In joint strike force made up of US and UK specops MDs, a promising vaccine has been created, that’s as precise as a sniper’s bullet.
What scientists at the Mayo Clinic, St. James & Leeds UK SAS Units, Unis have put together is a sneaky version of Ghillie-Suited special-operations scout.
The lead strategist MD had theorized that if the team in-question was dealing with just one type of cancer, would there be a way to precisely-target it, instead of the wholesale “Bombing of Dresden”, that is normal Chemotherapy?…

How these guys weren’t THE MOST POPULAR DUDES IN ALL OF ANCIENT HISTORY escapes me.
