Steve lived in Staten Island, NY and worked in Manhattan. He had to take the ferry home every night. One evening, he got down to the ferry and found there was a wait for the next boat, so Steve decided to stop at a nearby tavern. Before long he was feeling no pain. When he got back to the ferry slip, the ferryboat was just eight feet from the dock. Steve, afraid of missing this one and being late for dinner, took a running leap and landed right on the deck of the boat. “How did you like that jump, buddy?” said a proud and drunk Steve to a deck hand. “It was great,” said the sailor. “But why didn’t you wait? We were just pulling in!”

Vote!

In an effort to prove that the game Monopoly still exists, Hasbro will let you eliminate one of their classic game pieces. Hook up with the Hasbro Monopoly Facebook page and vote who should go: The battleship, the Iron, the Racecar, the Dog, the Thimble, the Top Hat, or the Wheelbarrow.

What will replace the loser? Possibilities include a robot, guitar, helicopter, cat, or diamond ring. Facebook/Phones: What would be a good game piece for today? A tiny iPhone? A tiny Kim Kardashian?

3 diet myths...busted

Before you give up on your New Years resolution to lose weight and stay fit, here are a couple diet MYTHS...

No sweets before noon

Wrong. A study last March found people who ate a big breakfast that included dessert lost more weight over a four month period than a group with a low-carb meal. Why? Indulgence early may prevent it later.


Workout as long as possible

The more you exercise, the more you'll eat concluded a Danish study last September. If you workout for a long period of time, be careful of how much you eat.

Carbs lead to weight gain

Last April, a study concluded that those who ate a low-calorie diet high in whole wheat lost more fat than a group that ate a low-calorie diet high in refined wheat. Why? Because the extra fiber in whole grains was more filling.
