Joke of the Day

A new business was opening, and one of the owner’s friends sent flowers for the occasion. But when the owner read the card with the flowers, it said. “Rest in Peace”

The owner was little upset and called the florist to complain. After he had told the florist about the obvious mistake, the florist said, “Sir,

I’m really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry, you should imagine this: Somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, “Congratulations on you new location.”

The Things You Do that Make Guys Run

The Stir has a long list of 'guy turn offs you should avoid like the plague', here are some highlights:

➨ You make it clear to everyone you meet that you need to be cared for
➨ You complain about your weight every. single. day.
➨ Being "too easy."
➨ Playing dumb
➨ You won't stop blabbing about your ex
➨ You're rude to other people
➨ You constantly talk trash about friends, coworkers, family members, even the mailman.
➨ You can't stop nagging -- can he EVER do anything right?

Go Bananas!

The Gatorade folks aren't going to like this...not one bit. It turns out everything you need during a hardcore workout --- is in a simple banana. Researchers tested bananas vs. Gatorade during a tough period of cycling, and discovered that bananas deliver the same performance as sports drinks, and offered up a healthier blend of sugars.

Of course, it's hard to dump a bucket of bananas over your coaches head after the big game, so Gatorade will always have its place.

Gum Can Make You Dumb

There are foods you eat that drain your brain, according to Readers Digest. Here they are...

➨ Sugar (A study watched rats try to work themselves through a maze after being fed a solution of fructose. Result: Rats had a harder time navigating the maze. Interesting, though, that omega-3 fatty acids seem to help buffer the harmful effects of fructose)

➨ Red meat and butter (Saturated fats are a brain drain. During a four year study, women who ate the most saturated fat scored lower on tests compared to women who ate mostly nonsaturated fats like olive oil and avocado.)

➨ Chips, pizza and other junk food (A study of 4000 kids who ate primarily junk food at age 3 had a small drop in IQ five years later. Watch their diet during those crucial early years of brain development.)

➨ Low-carb diets (A study of dieters discovered a gradual dip in cognitive skills just after they eliminated carbohydrates. Particularly on memory tests.)

➨ Gum (A British study found that chewing gum during a memorization test impaired participant's short term memories. Researchers think the act of chewing may disrupt your concentration.)
