It turns out that since kids are eating way sweets, juices, and bottled water than ever before, our public campaign to reduce cavities has been faltering over the past decade. Hey folks, tap water won't kill your younguns. News you can use.
Things to do when you are dead: James "Scotty" Doohan of Star Trek fame had his ashes beamed, erm, rocketed up, into space recently. The link is basically a play-by-play of his last day on earth.
Things not good for your health. The Governor of Oregon is currently spending a week trying to survive on a common allotment of food stamps. Here's a tip: goodbye filet mignon and hello Banquet box. Kudos for him to even take a moment of his life to realize how hard it is at the bottom.
Don't show up drunk to your wedding. Your brother may fill in for you.
Some Gulf War vets have apparently been diagnosed with changes in their brain. This may bode ill for our troops in this war.
That said, some bad habits are tradition, and the world is moving on anyway. First, the Irish ban smoking in pubs. Arguably a very healthy thing to do, but come on! Its a pub. But now, the Aussies are watering down their beers. I'm not sure I want to bring a kid into this world full of idiot redneck presidents and shitty beer, even the foreign stuff.
Not directly health related, but the environment does help keep us alive. I'm officially going to stop calling Benedict "Nazi Pope" for awhile but just for sounding more rational than George Bush. I reserve the right to call him that if he gets reactionary on us again. Anyway, he recently announced that Catholics should try to be more "green" and environmentally conscious. Unlike Bush, he's not a rapture monkey who sees destroying God's creation as a way to get in our maker's good graces.
In that same vien, the Bushites are pushing for new oil drilling platforms at a beach near you.
The military is more worried about climate change than terrorism.
