I love sharing lists like these that are both educational and entertaining. Well, some of these “health facts” are more like “un-health facts” (especially #6), but they’re interesting nonetheless.
1) Motorists who talk on cell phones are more impaired than drunk drivers with blood-alcohol levels exceeding .08.
2) Banging your head against a wall burns 150 calories an hour.
3) In some parts of the world, they protect their babies from disease by bathing them in beer.
4) The word ‘gymnasium’ comes from the Greek word gymnazein, which means ‘to exercise naked.’
5) Sleeping can help you lose weight! Compared to an eight hours of shut-eye, each one-hour decrease in sleep duration was linked to almost 3% more body fat.
6) The average American eats at McDonald’s more than 1,800 times in their life.
7) There are more bacteria in your mouth than there are people in the world.
8) According to U.S. FDA standards, 1 cup of orange juice is allowed to contain 10 fruit fly eggs, but only 2 maggots.
9) You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television.
10) It is possible to go blind from smoking too heavily.
11) Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.
12) You are about 1 centimeter taller in the morning than in the evening.
13) During your lifetime, you’ll eat about 60,000 pounds of food -- that’s the weight of about 6 elephants.

International Women's Day March 8, 2008
Tomorrow is International Women's Day.
We should take some time out tomorrow to toast our "sisters" that came before us and ensured that we were able to do what we want, when we want, so that we will never WANT.
In North America, women have been empowered, we want that for our sister's around the world as well.
Read more about gender inequality here: Gender Inequality
Where your white band tomorrow for all women.
"The fight against poverty requires justice and equality for women. Around the world, women and girls are more likely to face violence, have fewer rights and receive less education than men.
And because women are often denied fair compensation for their work, poverty rates among women are much higher.
Gender equality is a key part of making poverty history. Policies that promote the health, education and rights of women make huge contributions towards alleviating poverty. Any serious attempt to eradicate poverty must work towards gender equality....
...Take action online
Our friends at Oxfam Canada have a petition to the Prime Minister calling for him to support gender equality and an end to violence against women. Sign the Oxfam petition here"
