Science & Super-models

(Posted by Patrick Sullivan Jr.)

This is the direction I think RandomJohn needs to go in.  Science and supermodels.  Who knew?  LOL  ;-)

LetsSayThanks.com

(Posted by Patrick Sullivan Jr.)

A friend forwarded me a link to www.LetsSayThanks.com.  Pick a card, sign your name, Xerox prints it and mails it to a soldier.  It's a fanatastic idea, both marketing-wise and lazy-person-wise. 

Take 30 seconds and go send a card!

New Lifecycle

A friend sent this to me.  He thought George Carlin said it.  I like some of Carlin's stuff and this one is too funny not to share.  Enjoy and have a great weekend.

I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, start out dead and get it out of the way. Then you wake up in an old age home feeling better every day.. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.

You drink alcohol, you party, you're generally promiscuous and you get ready for High School. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a baby, then, you spend your last 9 months floating peacefully with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, larger quarters everyday, and finally you finish off as an orgasm.

I rest my case.

"Skeptical of skeptics"

(Posted by Patrick Sullivan Jr.)

Dear self-appointed "skeptics", please read this.

UPDATE: This post has a popular comment thread.  RandomJohn's take is good supplemental reading, especially after you get through the arguments that Dad of Cameron and I have about "belief."

Beyond Health Radio

I'm calling in now to Beyond Health Radio program.  I'll be talking to Raymond Francis about my book.  You can listen on the radio or on the internet.

My favorite Irish Joke

Paddy O'Hara shows up alone at a bar in Atlanta where he had just moved. The bartender comes over and asks what will you have. Paddy orders 3 beers. The bartender shrugs and gets him his 3 beers. A while later Paddy orders another 3 beers. The bartender is just too curious, so he asks Paddy why he always orders 3 beers at a time? Paddy says, "Aye, it is just a tradition. I always drink 3 beers, one for me brother Shawn, one for me brother Timothy and one for meself." Satisfied, the bartender walks away smiling.

For many years, Paddy drank at that same bar and was served 3 beers at a time by the same bartender. One evening, Paddy comes in and orders, 2 beers. The bewildered bartender serves him his 2 beers. After several minutes the bartender comes over with tears in his eyes and says, "Paddy, let my offer my deepest sympathies to you for losing one of your brothers." Paddy looked at him surprised and said, "Ah, all me brothers are fine. It is just that me wife and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to stop drinking!"

Mark Schauss is Blogging

Mark Schauss is the founder of Carbon Based Corporation, a unique company that analyzes and correlates data from numerous medical tests.  I have never seen anything like what they do with their CellMate reports.  (Jigsaw Health resells the Foundation Wellness Profile and Organic Acids Test.)

Mark is one of the most interesting and most knowledgeable people I have met in this industry.  His passion and drive has stemmed mostly from trying to figure out the cause to his daughter Tasya's epilepsy.

Enjoy!

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

These are just too funny!  Enjoy!  :)

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

     1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic.
     Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat
     and presto. The blockage will be almost instantly
     removed.

     2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing
     vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while
     you chop away.

     3. Avoid arguments with the little woman about lifting
     the toilet seat by simply using the sink.

     4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut
     yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing
     the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.

     5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock ,
     will prevent you from rolling over and going back to
     sleep after you hit the snooze button.

     6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of
     laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.

     7. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a
     hammer and you will forget about the toothache.

     Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of
     life really are:

     You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it
     doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it
     shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

     Remember:

     Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. (This is the most important one)

     Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.

     If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You get
     another chance.

     And finally, be really nice to your family and
     friends; you never know when you might need them to
     empty your bedpan.
