Really really good, really really long article. Totally worth reading if you care about your brain, and being in good health when you're older.

Contrary to what scientists previously thought, the adult brain is still pretty malleable; basically humans are capable of changing their brain patterns.

The six ways to boost your brainpower are:

1. Exercise - increases blood flow, prevents dementia, battles depression
2. Diet - low in saturated fats, high in anti-oxidants
3. Stimulants - drink coffee!!!

Words of Wisdom from Bristol Palin

Here are some comments I found on CNN from Bristol Palin on being a new mother:

"It's just, like, I'm not living for myself anymore. It's, like, for another person, so it's different"

"And just you're up all night. And it's not glamorous at all"

"Like, your whole priorities change after having a baby."

"I'd love to [be] an advocate to prevent teen pregnancy because it's not, like, a situation that you would want to strive for, I guess"

On having to tell her parents:
"And so finally, my best friend just, like, blurted it out. And it was just, like -- I don't even remember it because it was just, like, something I don't want to remember."

I would have to say that the most intelligent thing she said during the interview is that teen abstinence in unrealistic... duh

Ex-Boyfriend Jewelry

This is an awesome website where bitter women can sell the things their ex-boyfriends bought for them. All kinds of jewelry, and "gifts that should have been jewelry" for super cheap. There's descriptions of all the items, too, so it's funny reading all the entries. Check out the website for really good deals on perfectly good merchandise that is on sale only because the ex-girlfriends don't want to look at it anymore. Ahh, love hurts, except when I can get a diamond ring for half the price!

Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn!

Ganja Mama

Dr. Melanie Dreher, who is an experienced and accredited scientist has studied the effects on children whose mothers smoked ganja while pregnant.

"American drug use often takes place without cultural rules and in an unsupervised context. The Jamaican women we studied had been educated in a cultural tradition of using marijuana as a medicine. They prepared it with teas, milk and spices, and thought of it as a preventive and curative substance. Smoking it during pregnancy was a way of relieving nausea, increasing appetites, combatting fatigue and depression, providing rest and relaxation. Some of these women were in dire socioeconomic straits, and they found that smoking ganja helped allay feelings of worry and depression about their financial situation.

Our testing showed that the children of women who used ganja had better alertness, stability and adjustment than children of women who didn't use ganja. This was measured at the age of one month. We measured children again at four years and at five years of age, and found that there were no apparent deficits in the children of marijuana-using mothers. In fact, in many ways, they were better off than children of non-smoking mothers. The ganja-using mothers also seemed better off than non-users."

Breaks My Heart

I really do not understand how these people are "corrupting" our country and our culture. They are people, citizens of the United States who deserve to be happy just like everyone else. Nobody has the right to take these smiles away, to rip apart established families, or to devastate civil liberties. Grab the tissues, this one's a tear-jerker.

Warning: Zombies Ahead

Ha! This is hilarious, I definitely would have laughed if I saw this sign.

Another road sign warns of zombies
Thursday, February 5, 2009

The recent spate of pranks in which electronic road signs are tampered with to warn motorists about Nazi zombies and raptors has spread to at least three US states. And highway safety officials aren't amused.

The latest breach came on Tuesday during the morning rush hour near Collinsville, Illinois, where hackers changed a sign along southbound Interstate 255 to read, "DAILY LANE CLOSURES DUE TO ZOMBIES."

A day earlier in Indiana's Hamilton County, the electronic message on a board in Carmel's construction zone warned drivers of "RAPTORS AHEAD - CAUTION."

And signs in Austin, Texas, recently flashed: "NAZI ZOMBIES! RUN!!!" and "ZOMBIES IN AREA! RUN."

Officials in Illinois are concerned the rewritten signs distract motorists from heeding legitimate hazards down the road. The hacked sign on Tuesday originally warned drivers of crews replacing guardrails.

'We understood it was a hoax, but at the same time those boards are there for a reason,' said Joe Gasaway, an Illinois Department of Transportation supervisory field engineer. 'We don't want (drivers) being distracted by a funny sign.'

The pranks come after details of how easy it is to hack the signs were posted on numerous websites. Many of the websites urge their readers not to put the [sic]

'Hacking generally is about showing where there are holes in security systems, and I think this is a great example of that,' said Ray Wert, the editor-in-chief of Jalopnik, one of the sites that has written about the hack.

'I'm sure there are all sorts of ways to use that information in a way that's inappropriate, but we're trying to make clear this is an issue that needs to be confronted by traffic safety and transportation officials.'

Wert said he had no immediate plans to take down Jalopnik's how-to guide.

In Illinois, tampering with an official traffic control device is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $250 fine - half what a culprit might have to pay in Texas if caught. If convicted in Indiana, a culprit faces up to a year in jail and $5,000 in fines.
