Love
Your Banana
 You
may not be aware of the importance of nitric oxide
in your life but it's quite essential for proper functioning
of the
human
body. When
released, as a result of sudden stress, it helps the
arteries
expand
and
thus allows blood to pass faster through the body.
This is vital on those occasions where, say, you turn
a
corner to find a tiger named Vito holding a baseball
bat,
purring something ominous in regards to some unpaid
gambling debts.
Unfortunately, Americans eat a lot of meat, which increases
levels of bad cholesterol in the body, the LDL variety.
They coat the arterial walls with plaque, subsequently
lessening the effectiveness of nitric oxide. That's
why, for instance, so many men have heart attacks shoveling
snow
as the heart unsuccessfully attempts to push
ten gallons of blood through a five gallon hose.
As though that's bad enough there's another down side,
literally, to reduced levels of nitric oxide and it's
in men's pants. That's
right, your penis also has arteries and excess amounts
of bad cholesterol means plaque build-up there, too.
Like it or not, reducing your intake of meat will not
only help you live longer, it will make you love longer,
too.
So have a banana, instead of a kielbasa, and save the
wiener.

Not much to talk about movie-wise
this week. Beloved Girlfriend and I heard good things
about a Netflixable
action film called Elite Squad: The Enemy Within,
so
we
gave it a try. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 95 but we gave up about
an hour
into the movie as
it was too much talk, not enough rock. But if
you happen to like Brazilian political bureaucracy,
this might be your film.
We rounded out the evening watching episodes of Gordon
Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. If you like food
porn plus stories of sin and redemption you'll enjoy
this series.
Before I go, I have a recommendation you MUST see.
It's a funny and imaginative Oscar-nominated
short called "The
Fantastic Flying Books of Morris Lessmore" and
you can view it on Youtube. Go
now. And bring a hankie.
Here's a tantalizing image from the short.
----------------
Note 1: When did life begin at conception?
Evidently
in 1979.
Note 2: Mitt "Mittens" Romney's
finance co-chair, a billionaire named Frank
VanderSloot,
is a huge anti-gay
bigot.
Note 3: Bill Gates built himself
a 66,000 square-foot, 25 bathroom, $134 million-dollar
compound to live in. Steve
Jobs lived in
a regular house.
Note 4: Wal-Mart's "low
prices"
take a big bite out of American tax-payers. Shop
at Costco.
Note 5: Sealife brought up from
the deepest depths of the ocean literally fall apart
at sea level. The "Abyss
Box" changes all that, and
has the coolest name ever.
Note 6: There are two types of diabetes;
diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus. I'm told
that before modern lab
tests were available physicians would often taste
urine samples to tell the difference as the melitius
variety was less dilute and, therefore ,"sweeter".

Republican Job Creation Update
 2-20-2012: Congress
is out this week on an extended Presidents Day vacation.
Between now and April they're going to take four
weeks off. Who the heck made this ridiculous schedule? (Hint:
The majority party in the House. The idea being that
the less Congress is in session, the less gets done.)
