I Love This Doctor








~

Q:

Doctor, I've heard that

cardiovascular exercise can prolong life.

Is this true?
A:

Your heart only good for so many beats, and that

it... Don't waste on exercise. Everything

wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not

make you live longer; it like saying you extend

life of car by driving faster. Want to

live longer? Take nap.




Q:

Should I reduce my alcohol

intake?



A: No, not at all. Wine

made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine,

that mean they take water out of fruity bit so

you get even more of goodness that way.

Beer also made of grain. Bottom

up!

Q:

How can I calculate my body/fat

ratio?
A:

Well, if you have body and you have fat, your

ratio one to one. If you have two bodies,

your ratio two to one, etc.

Q:

What are some of the advantages of

participating in a regular exercise

program?
A:



Can't think of single one, sorry. My

philosophy is: No pain...good!


Q:

Aren't fried foods bad for

you?



A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food

are fried these day in vegetable oil. In

fact, they permeated by it. How could

getting more vegetable be bad for you?!?



Q
:

Will

sit-ups help prevent me from getting a

little soft around the

middle?
A:

Definitely not! When you exercise muscle,

it get bigger. You should only be doing

sit-up if you want bigger stomach.



Q:

Is chocolate bad for me?


A:

Are you crazy?!? HEL-LO-O!!

Cocoa bean! Another vegetable!

It best feel-good food

around!

Q:

Is swimming good for your

figure?



A:

If swimming good for your figure, explain

whale to me..

Q:

Is getting in shape important for my

lifestyle?
A:

Hey! 'Round' is shape!



Well...

I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions

you may have had about food and

diets.

And remember:



Life

should NOT be a journey to the grave with the

intention of arriving safely in an attractive

and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in

sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in

the other - body thoroughly used up, totally

worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a

ride!!"


AND.....

For

those of you who watch what you eat,

here's the final word on nutrition and health.

It's a relief to know the truth after all

those conflicting nutritional studies.



1.

The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer

fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2.

The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer

heart attacks than Americans.

3. The

Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer

fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4.

The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer

fewer heart attacks than Americans..



5. The Germans drink a lot of beer

and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer

fewer heart attacks than

Americans.

CONCLUSION:

Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is

apparently what kills

you.

"Before I speak, I have something important to say" - Grouchoisms

So the other night there was a Marx Brother marathon on TCM, and I just couldn’t get enough. It had been so long since I had seen any of these bits that I forgotten what a pure genius Groucho was. Not only was he an unbelievable performer with the greatest delivery in history, but he really was also very intelligent, well read, and the author of several books. It’s sad really that most people today around my age have never had the pleasure of actually seeing a Marx Brothers film, boy are they missing out!

In honor of good old Julius “Groucho” Marx, I’ve scoured the internet for some of my favorite Grouchoisms. I think you will find that after all these years, they are still hilarious.


“Next time I see you, remind me not to talk to you.”



“Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms.”


“Military justice is to justice what military music is to music. “



“One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know.”



“Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted.”



“The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.”



“There's one way to find out if a man is honest - ask him. If he says, "Yes," you know he is a crook.”



“Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.”



“I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it.”



“I intend to live forever, or die trying.”



“A man's only as old as the woman he feels.”



“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”



“I have a mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.”



“I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.”



“Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution?”



I don’t believe this last one was meant to be funny, however you never really can tell with Groucho, either way it sure is true

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

The Amazing Cucumber


The Amazing Cucumber




This information was in The New York Times several weeks ago as part of their "Spotlight on the Home" series that highlighted creative and fanciful ways to solve common problems.



1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.

2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.

3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.

4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.

5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!

6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!

7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explorers for quick meals to thwart off starvation.

8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.

9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!

10. Stressed out and don't have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber will react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown to reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.

11. Just finished a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.

12. Looking for a 'green' way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but it won't leave streaks and won't harm your fingers or fingernails while you clean.

13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!

MERMAID SIGHTING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strange News
Mermaid Sightings Claimed in Israel
By Benjamin Radford, LiveScience's Bad Science Columnist

The Little Mermaid, a sculpture, sits on a rock in the harbor in Copenhagen, Denmark. She's about as close to real as any mermaid stories told through history, evidence suggests. The sculptor Edvard Eriksen created the statue, unveiled in 1913. Credit: stockxpert

Locals and tourists in the Israeli town of Kiryat Yam have been flocking to the coast in hopes of glimpsing a creature that most people believe only exist in fairy tales.

An alleged mermaid, said to resemble a cross between a fish and a young girl, only appears at sunset. It performs a few tricks for onlookers before disappearing for the night.
One of the first people to see the mermaid, Shlomo Cohen, said, "I was with friends when suddenly we saw a woman laying on the sand in a weird way. At first I thought she was just another sunbather, but when we approached she jumped into the water and disappeared. We were all in shock because we saw she had a tail."
The sightings apparently began several months ago.

$1 million reward
The town's tourism board is of [FONT=inherit!important]coursehttp://www.livescience.com/strangenews/090813-bad-mermaid.html delighted with their newfound fame and local mystery fauna. Taking a cue from the town of Inverness, Scotland (on the shore of Loch Ness), the Kiryat Yam government has offered a $1 million reward for the first person to photograph the creature. Town spokesman Natti Zilberman thinks the reward money is well-spent. "I believe if there really is a mermaid then so many people will come to Kiryat Yam, a lot more money will be made than $1 million.” [/FONT]
Of course, if the mermaid does not exist -- perhaps it is a hoax, an optical illusion, or a simple misperception of a known animal -- then the town's reward money will remain [FONT=inherit!important]safehttp://www.livescience.com/strangenews/090813-bad-mermaid.html and unclaimed, while the economy benefits from the influx of tourists vying to get a photo that will leave them set for life. [/FONT]
It's not clear what people are seeing, though the power of suggestion and imagination can be strong. Identifying animals in water is inherently problematic, since eyewitnesses by definition are only seeing a small part of the creature. When you add in the factor of low light at sunset and the distances involved, positively identifying even a known creature can be very difficult -- to say nothing of a mythological one!
Mermaids have long held fascination for seafaring peoples. There are a few dozen significant historical claims of actual mermaid sightings. Most of them are clearly myths and legends, such as "true" stories about lovely young women who married sailors but were later discovered to be shape-shifting mermaids (such as in the film "Splash").
Other reports date back centuries, and offer no proof or evidence other than a curious story. For example, a Capt. Richard Whitbourne claimed he saw a mermaid in Newfoundland's St. James harbor in 1610. Another story, from 1830 Scotland, claimed that a young boy killed a mermaid by throwing rocks at it; the creature looked like a child of about 3 or 4, but had a salmon's tail instead of legs. The villagers supposedly had it a funeral and buried it in a small coffin.
P.T. Barnum's mermaid
Hoaxers have worked to satisfy the public's appetite for mermaids; the fact that none have ever actually been found is only a minor inconvenience.
The great showman P.T. Barnum introduced a mermaid to astounded crowd in the 1840s: his infamous "FeeJee Mermaid", actually a taxidermy fake. The head and torso of a small monkey was grafted onto the body and tail of a fish. It was bizarre and strange - --certainly nothing anyone had seen before — but a far cry from the banners and posters suggesting a beautiful, half-naked woman.
Other mermaid fakes appeared throughout the centuries. Some were manatees that had been dressed up to resemble a human form and exhibited for profit.
Whether the Israeli mermaid sighting is genuine, a hoax, or an innocent mistake exploited for tourism, the reality of finding a real mermaid might be different than people imagine, as shown by a song from the Newfoundland band Great Big Sea, which sings folk-rock versions of traditional sea shanties. One of their most popular songs, titled "The Mermaid," tells of a lonely sailor who courts a mermaid:
"I love the girl with all me heart / But I only like the upper part / I do not like the tail!"
 
OBAMA IS A MARTIAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Obama campaign deleted my blog post!
10:59 AM PT, Jun 11 2008
A couple of days ago, as part of my experimenting with how political rumors get started online, I created a blog in the community section of barackobama.com, the official campaign web site, and added a post. As background, there have been several dust-ups lately where commentators have--disingenuously, I think--singled out blog entries posted by the Obama site's users and tried to imply that these posts originated with the Obama campaign itself.
As in, just because someone posts a crazy blog on a web site (the blogs are published automatically--without an approval process), suddenly that blog represents the opinion of the site's owners. By that logic, you could say that all of the comments on every political site represent the opinion of the site they're posted on -- and that's preposterous, especially with sites that allow tens of thousands of comments from users across the political spectrum.
At any rate, I wanted to see if the Obama campaign was actually reviewing and approving the posts being put up on its site. So I put up a blog to see if it would get published without first getting approved. It did. Here's the Google cache of my post, which got 6 comments from people "LOLing" about my spurious and irresponsible assertion about Obama.
But today I saw that the post had been removed, and I can't possibly imagine why. If you read the text of it, it's clear (I hope) that I was making a statement about the way outlandish rumors originate, and how they spread. Here's what I wrote:
Obama is DEFINITELY a Martian, and therefore DEFINITELY NOT an American citizen. I know because I know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who said they were almost positive they'd heard someone say so.
Confused about their reason for taking it down without notice or warning, I consulted the Obama site's Terms of Service. The relevant passage is here (my emphasis):
We have the right, in our sole discretion, to edit, refuse to post or remove any material submitted to or posted on our Website including, but not limited to, material that is unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, graphic, or otherwise objectionable.
So my Martian joke was objectionable? Or was it defamatory? Geez, Martians really must have thin skins.
