"No, Honey, I'm Doing It To Get Healthy!"
I've been going to Fark.com for almost a week now. It's full of the weird and useless... which is the only information I'm really interested in. Here is a story posted today that I HAD to share. The below is taken from this page. Enjoy:
"An Eyeful a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
by Jonathan Hayter

Staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and makes them live longer, a new survey 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 Karen Weatherby, who carried out the German study, wrote in The New England Journal of Medicine: "Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics workout. Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation. There is no question that gazing at breasts makes men healthier. Our study indicates 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 4 to 5 years."
She added that sexy stars like Dolly Parton, Heather Locklear, Anna Nicole Smith and Demi Moore had proved to be especially good for the men's health.

I would think engaging in that activity would INCREASE the chance of stroke. Fondue! (I'm trying to replace 'Zing!' for Mike Bohne... but I still feel the need to punctuate jokes)
In a related note, here is a list my friends who, whether they knew it or not, I would like to thank for my prolonged life......
