iPump Pilates Is iPorn For Geeks
In the days before the internet, a little thing called the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue used to cause quite the stir at my school (and no, we weren’t excited by the tropical locations or curious about the prices of the suits). Porn was where you found it, be it the Sears Catalog women’s underwear section, or your mom’s latest aerobics video.
Want To Get Smarter? Drink A Beer Everyday!
A new study that’s being published in The Journal of Nueroscience indicates that low to moderate consumption of alcohol may actually improve your memory. so far the study has only observed the reaction in rats but I’m sure there will be no loss for people to participate in human testing.
“There are human epidemiological data of others indicating that mild [to] moderate drinking may paradoxically improve cognition in people compared to abstention,” says Maggie Kalev, a research fellow in molecular medicine and pathology at the University of Auckland in New Zealand and a co-author of an article in The Journal of Neuroscience describing results of a study she and other researchers performed on rats. “This is similar to a glass of wine protecting against heart disease, however the mechanism is different.”
Ok, so we already knew that a glass of wine could help stave off heart disease, so now if you have a beer everyday you’ll get smarter and if you want to go for the trifecta of health and live longer, well, stay out of the gym.
Thirsty? Have A Beer Instead
Not to long ago we told you about a story that claimed if wanted to get smarter you should drink a beer everyday. Now comes more proof that the world’s oldest and most popular alcoholic beverage is good for you (in moderation of course). A study at Spain’s University of Granada had a bunch of students perform strenuous exercise in temperatures around 104 degrees then split the group into two halves. One half was given a half-pint of beer while the other half was given the same amount of plain old water. The professor who conducted the study said the results indicated that hydration was “slighty better” in those who drank a beer after exercise than those who drank just water. So as if you needed another excuse, there you go.

Want To Live Longer? Look At Boobs Everyday!
Staring at women’s breast is good for men’s health and makes them live longer, a new study reveals.
Researchers have discovered that a 10-minute ogle at women’s breasts is as healthy as half-an-hour in the gym.
A five-year study of 200 men found that those who enjoyed a longing look at busty beauties had lower blood pressure, less heart disease and slower pulse rates compared to those who did not get their daily eyeful.
Dr Kren Weatherby, who carried out the German study, wrote in the New England Journal of Medicin: “Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well endowed female is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute arobics workout.”
“Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation.”
“There is no question that gazing at breasts makes men healthier.”
“Out Study indiciates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of a stroke and heart attack in half.”
“We believe that by doing so consistently, the average man can extend his life four to five years.”
Well, there you go. Documented medical advice that you don’t need to spend hours in the gym to stay healthy. Finally, I can exercise while surfing the net for photos.
Update: So it seems this is an Urban Legend since no actual study can be found in the archive of the New England Journal of Medicine. I really think the Myth Buster guys should take this one on and find out for sure. What do ya’ll think? (Thanks to the folks that sent this in).
