Health Experts Recommend Standing Up At Desk, Leaving Office, Never Coming Back | The Onion - America's Finest News Source: "In an effort to help working individuals improve their fitness and well-being, experts at the Mayo Clinic issued a new set of health guidelines Thursday recommending that Americans stand up at their desk, leave their office, and never return. “Many Americans spend a minimum of eight hours per day sitting in an office, but we observed significant physical and mental health benefits in subjects after just one instance of standing up, walking out the door, and never coming back to their place of work again,” said researcher Claudine Sparks, who explained that those who implemented the practice in their lives reported an improvement in mood and reduced stress that lasted for the remainder of the day, and which appeared to persist even into subsequent weeks.

Police questioning techniques make it easy to elicit false accusations - Boing Boing: "In a forthcoming study in the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology, Brian Cutler and Danielle Loney document how, with just a few minutes of "forceful questioning" that included threats of censure for failure to cooperate, they were able to coerce false eyewitness accounts of a crime that never occurred from student subjects."
Women Don’t Like Each Other Much –: "Hot Australian fitness model Erin McNaught took the plunge and had a baby. Instead of proceeding to sit on her front stoop smoking Virginia Slims she decided to get back into shape, which makes since as she is a fitness model. McNaught posted an innocuous photo and self empowering message about the process following her squeezing a watermelon sized person out of her lady hole:
“4 weeks [post partum] and I’m starting to get my stomach back! Aside from lots of walking and eating healthily, I’ve been doing loads of pelvic floor and transverse abdominus exercises. Still no traditional ab work though which is driving me crazy!”
Instead of compliments McNaught was flooded with a slew of criticism from fellow mothers who’ve embraced the concept of a slow death. A few typical examples:
“Did she have a surrogate?… Unrealistic… Fake… Yeah right… Self obsessed bitch… We have to stay relevant in the media somehow I guess don’t we? Goodness knows you don’t do that just being a mother.”
Women really are a fixed pie mentality bunch. I can only feel better if that skinny whore feels worse. The next time your wife or girlfriend tells you she’s stressed out, say, I can only imagine. Let’s go kill some of your bitchy friends and then have sex on their dead bodies. She probably won’t go for it, but she’ll be glad you care."
Scott Adams on goals and passion - Business Insider: ""When a successful person is interviewed, and you say, 'What was the secret to your success?' what they can't say, because society won't let them, is: 'I was smarter, I worked harder, I had better connections, and I got really lucky,'" Adams tells Business Insider. "Instead, they go with a democratic trait: passion." Adams falls into the camp, which notably includes author Cal Newport, that believes pursuing something you love is not enough. Drawing from his own career, in which he became a successful cartoonist in 1995 after a string of failures, Adams says that finding a "system" is what's necessary to get ahead."
"Fuck Lettuce."
