Ever wonder what the diet of a bear in captivity is? Now we have an answer, kind of.
Picture was taken at the local zoo, where the nice people who feed the bears thought it would be cool to share this info with the rest of us You can also look at sites like [...]
Everybody knows (or should know) what a workaholic is. In short, a person who cannot seem to do anything besides work.
Now, that might seem interesting and you may admire those persons for their dedication, but rest assured, there is nothing to admire here. A person that is obsessed with its work or is always feeling [...]
I never looked at Family Guy because it was a clever show. Not even remotely. I looked at it because it was dumb. Dumb humor and dumb subjects. I couldn’t say that I enjoyed it as much as other TV shows I watched, but I guess it was okay. It was okay until they completely [...]
It’s nice to have the impression that we have everything under control. From the small things to the big things. From things we think about to things we actually do. Of course, most of the time this is an illusion. What really happens is that our fantastic ability to adapt kicks in. Our mind and [...]
Here is an interesting article I’ve recently came across:
Going to America: A Ponzi scheme that works
The article makes the interesting claim that coming to America, and by extension following the American Dream, is a Ponzi scheme that actually works. It also goes through a couple of stories that are supposed to be inspiring. They are [...]
This post is not going to be easy to digest so if you don’t want to ruin your day please don’t read it.
The topic is human stupidity and how people can be easily manipulated to do whatever you need them to. The lame part is that usually this is masked under some charity work that [...]
There comes a time in the weight loss journey when you realize that some things are more important than actually losing weight. I mean, in the first phase of losing weight, a good indicator of how you’re doing is the actual weight. After a certain point you might see that although the amount of weight [...]

Today’s topic: American Health System
To put it short the system is as crappy as it seems viewed from outside the US. Even crappier.
Health care is a business in the US. It’s not about the patient anymore. It’s about the profits of the Health Care “Provider”. Anything and everything will be done to save [...]
Ran into this on youtube. It’s called “Eat to Save your life” and you can learn a thing or two about healthy eating. Of course it’s made in a commercial manner that can be tasted by the masses. But if you look past that you will see some valid ideas.
Enjoy.
Part 1 of 8:
All the parts, [...]
When you’re moving you get a new address. Here in the US there are a couple of places which need to know your new address. Here is a list of them, to serve as my external memory when/if we’ll move again:
the Bank(s) – where you keep your money
your Employer(s)
Postal Service – set up mail forwarding [...]

Today’s topic: US as the most beautiful country in the World
Here in the US everybody likes to think in absolute term. Something is either the BEST or the WORST thing. Same applies when we’re talking about geography. And when you apply the absolute thinking terms to the way people here think about their country’s geography [...]

Today’s topic: Ugly Women/People
Hot topic today. We’re talking about being ugly and how you can solve this.
First of all, in the US only poor people are ugly. Yeah, it’s nasty… but that’s the way it is.
If you look, for example at people’s teeth you will see that almost everybody has perfect teeth.
And dental [...]
So, I am the owner of an iPod Shuffle. I have it for more than one month so I guess now I can express an informed my opinions about it.
The device is great because of its size (very light) and the its autonomy (plays 10+ hours of music when fully charged).
It came with just a [...]
From Wikipedia: Abandonware is a term used to describe computer software that is no longer sold or supported, or whose copyright ownership may be unclear for various reasons. While the term has been applied largely to older games, other classes of software (such as productivity applications or utility software) are sometimes described as such.
Here are [...]
I ranted before about New Year’s Resolutions and how lame it seems to me to set some goal at this point in time each year just because everybody else is doing it. Also it’s well known that most of those goal will go down the drain very fast so…
Today’s annoyance is related to one of [...]
