If your too busy to read what's going on in the world today, I thought I would condense some of the top stories from the news feeds. I've included the source if you want to read any more on the subjects.
1. The chemicals in popcorn bags ruin the effects of vaccines in kids. This isn't the first time I've read about popcorn bags being dangerous to your health. Plus, Linda's friends microwave breaks EVERY time they use it to make popcorn. That just confirms it, pop your corn the old fashioned way: Jiffy Pop!! ( msnbc)
2. Researchers from Boston University and Japan's ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories have designed a MRI method that can magically cause you to develop a new skill set by targeting your brain with mojo. This article was extremely scientific, so I didn't even try to explain how it works. Linda loves this. Instead of having to learn all her 3rd degree TKD patterns so she can test for 4th Degree, she can just get them zapped into her brain. The Atlantic Journal
3 NASA has made something called a Biocapsule. It's an implant that goes under your skin to diagnose and treat astronauts before they even know anything is wrong with them. It's like having your own personal Star Trek Dr. McCoy! Gizmodo
4. This one scared the pj's off Linda. People who have trouble sleeping may be at higher risk for developing Alzheimer's Disease as they get older. Hopefully I'll be long gone by then. I couldn't stand it if Linda didn't know who I was! we come from the future
5. If you are a fan of martial art fight scenes like Linda is, you want to watch these Asian cinema clips of the very best brawls. Ayiiiiiah!!
6. This is old news, so unless you don't read the papers or watch TV, you already heard about the 45-year old man from Sweden who stayed alive in a snowed in car for two months with no food and only a sleeping bag to keep warm. It got to 30 degrees below zero. He went into some kind of bear like hibernation. He's expected to make a full recovery.
7. Linda has been obsessed with cupcakes lately. Here are some cute ones that a lady named Bakerella made. Look at her site, there are such cute designs: http://www.bakerella.com/
8. And last, but by no means least, Oreos now have Funfetti cookies! They are only out for a limited time, so speed to your local store and buy everything on the shelf
