More bad news
The folks in the lab coats have some more bad news for pain sufferers. Two out of three people will suffer from neck pain and according to yet another study:
"Dynamic muscle training or relaxation training for chronic neck pain in female office workers had no effect on the intensity of pain, neck disability or sick leave over 12 months," the researchers wrote.
They concluded that people with neck pain should not turn to these treatments if they want to get better.

History
While prowling the digital ftp site, I stumbled upon this bit of internet history:
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 89 19:05:59 CST
From: someone
To: someone else
Subject: good luck message
Did you know who in 1923 was:
1. President of the largest steel company?
2. President of the largest gas company?
3. President of the New York Stock Exchange?
4. Greatest wheat speculator?
5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?
6. Great Bear of Wall Street?
These men should have been considered some of the world's most successful
men. At least they found the secret of making money. Now more than 55 years
later, do you know what has become of these men?
1. The President of the largest steel company, Charles Schwab, died a pauper.
2. The President of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson, is insane.
3. The President of the N.Y.S.E., Richard Whitney, was released from prison
to die at home.
4. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger, died abroad, insolvent.
5. The President of the Bank of International Settlement shot himself.
6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Rivermore, died of suicide.
The same year, 1923, the winner of the most important golf championship,
Gene Sarazan, won the U.S. Open and PGA Tournaments. Today he is still
playing golf and is solvent.
CONCLUSION: STOP WORRYING ABOUT BUSINESS AND START PLAYING GOLF
This letter originated in The Netherlands, has been passed around the
world at least 20 times, bringing good luck to everyone who passed it on. The
one who breaks the chain will have bad luck.
Do not keep this letter. Do not send money. Just have your wonderful,
efficient cpu make five additional copies and send it to five of
your friends to whom you wish good luck. You will see that something good
happens to you four days from now if the chain is not broken. This is not a
joke. You will receive good luck in four days.

A tale of medical quackery
It is the story of a doctor preying on gullible folk nearly one hundred years ago by saying x-rays would cure them. Next time you are partaking of the latest fad in medical care, please take heed of this article. Just because it doesn't say "Snake Oil" on the label, you should be careful.

Camp-Xray lets us know that Fox News is trumpeting "Bush-Cheney Bests Gore-Clinton Ticket"
Even as the president's approval drops, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney top a Democratic ticket of Al Gore and Hillary Clinton in a hypothetical matchup
Yep. Fair and balanced. Gore and Clinton aren't even running. What is the next way they have to prop up the corrupt administration, "Bush-Cheney Bests Hitler-Hussein Ticket?"

Most of the humor on The Simpsons is over the top, but the reason we all love watching three episodes daily is the little quick jokes that you don't often catch on the first viewing.
I never understood why Jasper Johns was stealing lightbulbs and now I know that some of Johns best early works were of lightbulbs.

If you have been to the movies lately, you will recognize these ten terrible types of people.
This is one of the newer ones to come along:
8. The Clocker. Most people switch cell phone ringers to vibrate, but there is a new breed, and he doesn't wear a watch. Instead, he checks his cell phone clock every 30 minutes, lighting up the theater like a Christmas tree. Cover the LCD and be discreet.
Yes, we can see it, even if it's only on for a second. You committed to two hours (83 minutes if it is a SNL movie), deal with it. If you can't recognize when the third act starts and do the appropriate math, buy a watch.

We are two wild and crazy guys
According to Blind Items Rehash:
This movie funnyman is really into kinky sex. A typical Saturday night for him is to invite his closest longtime actor pal over, then phone in callgirls and engage in wild, kinky sex. The funnyman dedicates a large bedroom in his California home strictly for him and the pal to enjoy their sexual escapades. The room has two huge beds, plus loads of sex toys, and mirrors on the ceiling and walls. When the funnyman's taking a break, he watches his actor buddy with one of the girls, and vice versa. You would never think this pair were into these kinds of going-on because they're older and just don't seem the type.

Mathematical twist reveals the agony of back pain
Contrary to the idea that spinal injuries are caused by a combination of compression, bending, tension and shear forces, the 3D animated model suggests many injuries are the result of quick twists of the vertebrae, making the joints between them rotate.
I am way more aware of this phenomenon since my surgery, and have to be a lot more careful. I can obviously detect when I am lifting too much and stop. Realizing you may be applying too much torque to your back is really hard to do. Usually you find out when you are writhing on the ground in pain.

Funniest Man Alive
If you listen to NPR, you have no doubt heard the strange voiced man tell his tales of working as an elf at Santaland, of cleaning apartments in New York City and the torture of growing up as a misunderstood musical prodigy. All of his books are available in a 14 cd box set. I can't read more than a paragraph without pausing to laugh my ass off. I have just ordered mine and I can't wait to hit the review button on my CD player to listen to the bits I missed while chortling with glee.
