That ringing in your pocket might turn out to be a death knell for your sperm, says a review published online in the Journal of Andrology that examined the links between cell phone radiation and your swimmers.
Researchers throughout the U.S. and the world have looked at the impact of your mobile phone’s electromagnetic frequency (EMF) radiation on sperm, and the results—though not yet conclusive—present a compelling case that cell phones damage sperm quality, says the Italian review.

My Comments:
I will never look at my cellphone the same again…I think I’ll just have to divorce my trusty ol’ mobile phone. At any rate, what about females do cellphones destroy their eggs?

Marriage and Divorce Trigger Weight Gain:
Marriage Leads to Weight Gain for Women, Divorce Prompts Gain in Men
Marriage and divorce may trigger weight gainin men and women for very different reasons.
A new study shows marriage often prompts weight gain in women, while divorce is often the time when men pile on the pounds.
This weight gain is not as frequent in younger people, but researchers say the effects may pose a health risk later in life when people settle into certain patterns of physical activity and diet.
“Both marriages and divorces increase the risk of weight changes from about age 30 to 50, and the effect is stronger at later ages,” researcher Dmitry Tumin, a doctoral student in sociology at Ohio State University, says in a news release. “As you get older, having a sudden change in your life like a marriage or a divorce is a bigger shock than it would have been when you were younger, and that can really impact your weight.”

My Comments:
I am not one to make much about what people should do with themselves or their bodies for that matter. I find obesity to be a problem, not just to the individual, but society in general. It is not just about civil or individual rights to carry around huge amounts of body mass, it eventually becomes a problem to society as these people age and develop medical problems cause by their overweight-ness. That aside…I find this article very telling. Anecdotally it is very true; I see very many women carrying around huge amounts of unheathy fat that is not just unsightly, it is downright unhealthy as well. Yes, there are lot a fat guys out there in the same condition, but I quickly admit a guy-bias…I don’t notice much about other guys (and no…it is not homophobia).   I think most married couples get too lax and comfortable with each other…they stop eating properly, they eat out too often, they don’t staying active, and before you know it their body mass skyrockets.  Bottomline – watch what you eating and stay active…that’s it.

Despite a shaky stock market and an uncertain future, Americans still prefer gourmet coffee over any other, according to a new study from the National Coffee Association. And from teenagers to senior citizens, most people still drink coffee daily.
This daily grind can get expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. Consumer Reports just released a taste test with the most popular coffee brands. They sampled more than 1,000 cups of joe and came to a startling conclusion: Walmart coffee is as good as Starbucks, and it’s better than Maxwell House and Folgers.

My Comments:
I recently started buying my coffee from Walmart, but now that it is confirmed that Starbucks is no better, I am sold. Â Go ahead Walmart….go ahead.

Even if you believe in God, you might still be atheist. That’s what Penn Jillette argues in his new book God, No! Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales.
The louder half of the magician duo Penn & Teller — of Showtime’s Pen & Teller: Bull – – – –— frames his new book as the atheist’s Ten Commandments. In it, he wanders from rants about the war on drugs to stories of eating shellfish and bacon cheeseburgers with Hasidic Jews.

My Comments:
Pretty interesting piece; I think I will take the book for a spin. Â I for one don’t necessarily believe in religion in its organized fashion. Â I also don’t necessarily believe that we are here on this rock in the middle of the universe by accident. Â I believe to be an atheist, one has to be presumptuous, arrogant and not to mention ignorant. Â I think it fine to say – dammit…I just don’t know.
