Being fat will soon be ‘normal’ in America, study.

Fat the new skinny?

Fashion USA 2015?

 

Forget your worries about Global Warming, Al Qaeda, Bird Flu, hurricanes, earthquakes and stupid Presidents…

Apparently, America is eating itself to death. Yep, that fat epidemic we all keep hearing about is set to define our era like the plague defined the middle ages.

And just when you thought it was safe to take that next trip to McDonalds, they come out with this!

Scientists and researchers from the Johns Hopkins University have concluded that if Americans keep stacking the pounds on at the current rate of pace, 75% of people in the good old US of A will be overweight in just 8 years time.

That compares to 66% of US adults considered overweight in 2004, says The Daily Mail:

“Obesity is a public health crisis. If the rate of obesity and overweight continues at this pace, by 2015, 75 per cent of adults and nearly 24 per cent of U.S. children and adolescents will be overweight or obese,” Dr. Youfa Wang, who led the study, said in a statement.

 They defined adult overweight and obesity using a standard medical definition called body mass index. People with a BMI of 25 or above are considered overweight, while those with BMIs of 30 or above are obese and at serious risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.

The report comes as 11 of America’s largest food and beverage companies agreed to take the token step of ‘limiting’ junk food advertising during children’s TV shows.
Meanwhile, in other fat news, Mexican Manuel Uribe Garza, otherwise known as the fattest man in the world, will undergo surgery in Italy, according to ABCnews.com:

Italian surgeon Giancarlo DeBernardinis told Agence France-Presse, “We will hold a meeting in the coming days to work out the details of the hospitalization and to prepare the operating theater and the appropriate surgical tools.”
Uribe drew worldwide attention when he appeared on the Televisa television network in January.

For the past five years, Uribe has been bedridden. He keeps a television and a computer he uses to update his Web site near his iron bed.

“People think that I can eat a whole cow, but it’s not just overeating, it’s also a hormonal problem,” Uribe said

Manuel has reportedly weighed in at 1,235 pounds, that’s about 560 kilograms for metric lovers like me.

Good luck to him, I say!

And good eating to you all.

World’s fattest man,

An interview with Guillermo…

Here’s a lovely list of some of the more serious effects obesity can have on human health!

Nightmare: Man discovers fly larvae living inside his head!

Hope you haven’t finished a large meal recently.

Crazy things happen in 2’s.

A day after we found out about that rugby player who discovered his opponents tooth embedded into his forehead, a much more stomach curdling story along similar lines has emerged.

Look away now if you fell squeamish at the mere thought of an infestation of fly larvae INSIDE YOUR HEAD! Oh wait, I just told you right there.

Eeeep!

Yes that’s right.

According to media reports:

A man in the United States who had recently been on a trip to the Central American nation of Belize discovered five active bot fly larvae living near the top of his skull, which were living in a 2mm to 3mm-wide pit under his skin.

“I’d put my hand back there and feel them moving. I thought it was blood coursing through my head”

“I could hear them. I actually thought I was going crazy.”

Aaron Dallas from Colorado was initially told that he was suffering from the shingles, but after a continuation of unusual feelings within his head, he went back for a further examination, and his doctor Kimball Spence made the spine shivering discovery.

“It was pretty obvious that something was going on”.

“There was an open pit. You could see a little activity, not necessarily the larvae, but a fluctuation of the fluid in the pit,” Dr Spence told media.

Yipes! watch a man have a South American bot fly removed from his back!

Just imagine having those living in your skull…

Video: War zone in Sydney as man goes on rampage with tank!

A man went on a crazy rampage though suburbs of Australia’s largest city, Sydney, in the early hours of the morning local time, taking out infastructure and sending police on a wild chase.

John Robert Patterson, 45, allegedly led officers on a 90-minute chase through six suburbs in Sydney’s west as he crashed the privately-owned APC through fences, mobile phone towers, telecommunication relay sheds and an electrical substation.

The man from Dharruk, in Sydney’s west, was arrested after the APC stalled on its way to damaging a seventh property, police said.

He was refused bail in court.

Defence lawyer Ivan Bertoia told the court that Patterson claimed “that certainly he had authority to behave in such a manner”.

In refusing bail, the magistrate recommended that Patterson, who had facial lacerations and a swollen left eye, receive medical and psychiatric attention.

The hearing was adjourned to local court on July 16.

Mobile phone services where the chase occurred were disrupted while technicians waited to gain entry to the crime scenes, police said.

Police on patrol had noticed the APC allegedly being used to destroy an electricity substation and followed the carrier through the suburbs of Mt Druitt, Dharruk, Emerton, Glendenning and Plumpton.

The pursuit ended in Dean Park when the vehicle stalled as it was being driven towards another mobile phone tower, police said.

Police arrested Patterson and charged him with numerous offences including malicious damage, break, enter and steal, predatory driving, possession of a prohibited drug, use of a weapon to avoid apprehension and driving in a dangerous manner.

Video: Most violent day yet in Pamplona Running of the Bulls, tourists hospitalised.

 A number of people from around the world have been seriously injured in Day 6 of the annual running of the bulls festival.

Report from San Jose Mercury News:

The pack of six 1,300-pound bulls and six steers—meant to keep the bulls running in a single pack—disintegrated shortly after the animals set off on the dash through the cobblestone streets of Pamplona in the sixth of eight planned runs.

One stray bull turned around and ran the wrong way. Herders with long sticks smacked it in the rump to get the animal pointed in the right direction.

The loose bull charged and tossed several runners—some of them clad in the traditional red-and-white garb of San Fermin—on its way to the bullring.

Several runners were trampled and seven runners were injured by bulls’ horns. One 48-year-old man from Pamplona was gored in the chest and was reported to be in very serious condition. A 23-year-old Mexican was gored in the stomach and was also reported as very serious.

The other runners who were gored were from Poland, Norway, Spain and the United States, with ages ranging from 23 to 50, officials said. They were all reported to be in serious condition.

Man fakes own kidnapping, found bound and gagged.

 

Now we all have our troubles with work colleagues throughout our working lives and some people will do absolutely anything to get out of work for various reasons, but this is just ridiculous.

A man has faked his own kidnapping in a truly bizarre attempt to avoid going to work.

The 22-year-old Japanese navy officer was found on Tuesday with his mouth gagged and hands tied in the bushes off a road in Kanagawa prefecture near Tokyo, police said.

He initially said he was assaulted and kidnapped by a robber.

But questioned further by police, who found his story suspicious, he admitted to have made it up, a spokesman said.

The man apparently thought that if he feigned being the victim of a robbery, he could avoid work, where he was having trouble with co-workers. “He said he was getting tired of work as he was caught between his superiors and subordinates,” the police spokesman said.

More muscle = More sex from women, study.

 

When is comes to a woman’s preference for a male partner, most studies have concluded that desirability was influenced by commitment and offcourse earnings potential, but a new study says physical characteristics matter more.

“Women are predisposed to prefer muscularity in men,” said study author David Frederick of UCLA.

The study was published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, and suggests muscles in men are akin to elaborate tail feathers in male peacocks: They attract females looking for a virile mate.

Women were more physically attracted to brawny men, especially for a fling. But when it comes to finding a long-term partner, they tend to pick a regular man over a mate with huge biceps.

“On the one hand, it makes them more sexy to women. On the other hand, it makes women more suspicious about their romantic intentions,” Frederick said.

So, want more one night stands men? Then get into that gym and those protein bars.

Or, if you’re looking for a more long term thing, then the gym can wait, too much muscle and those jealous women might think you’re going to betray them.

Man’s foot smell mistaken for dead bodies.

 

Not so happy feet.

A case of mistaken smells…

This weekend German police broke into a darkened flat fearing they would find a dead body after neighbours complained of a nasty smell seeping out onto the staircase.

The shutters of the apartment had been closed for more than a week and the postbox was filled with uncollected mail.

But instead of a corpse police found a tenant with badly smelling feet asleep in bed next to a pile of foul-smelling laundry, police in the southwestern town of Kaiserslautern said today.

Wow, that guy must be one hell of a dirty human being.

Wanted: Condom Testers. Best job in the world?

    G’day baby!

Sick of the usual 9-5 working day?

How about a job as a condom tester?

And the only catch is that you need to have regual sex. That couldn’t be so hard, could it?

The Australian arm of British condom company Durex is on the prowl for males to help them test their new range of protection.

Local marketing manager Sam White said any Australian over the age of 18 could apply for one of 200 positions as a condom tester.

Unfortunately the position is not paid, but successful applicants will receive a free $60 selection of Durex products and will be required to provide the company with honest feedback about the products’ performance.

One of the lucky 200 testers will win a $1000 bonus.

Applicants must explain why they would make an expert condom tester, Mr White said.

“With this job on your CV, it really will be a chance to brag to your mates about the special skills you possess, not to mention that your new role will work wonders with the opposite sex,” he said.

“Who wouldn’t want to have a chance with an actual authorised professional?”

“We see this tester position as a great opportunity to get deeper, more penetrating feedback from our customers.”

Anyone interested in the offer can apply online by visiting the Durex Australia website.

This gets me thinking…

 I’m an Australian! Maybe I should apply, although I am in need of a sex partner, due to recent lady troubles. (You don’t believe me do you?)

Any takers?

 

Girlfriend proves revenge is sweeter the second time. Until your thown in jail.

Yowzers!

Now, this story brings a whole new meaning to the term eye for an eye.

A Hong Kong woman who partly blinded her boyfriends’ eye six years ago has been jailed after poking the other eye with a chopstick.

Po Shiu-fong, 58, accused long-time boyfriend Kwok Wai-ming, 49, of having an affair, and a row quickly erupted.

During the heated arugment, Po stabbed a plastic chopstick into Kwok’s left eye, the same eye she wounded just years earlier.

“Po became hysterical when she saw the wound and mopped it with a towel. The pair then went to bed,” reports said.

“The next morning they had another argument in which she grabbed a chopstick and stabbed Kwok’s right eye.”

Two days later, he sought medical treatment and filed a police report against Po, whom he had dated since 1993.

Apparently he didn’t report the attack six years ago, telling the court his silence was “a love sacrifice.”

“If I forgive her, God would not forgive me,” Kwok was reported as saying. “No matter what, nothing could compensate for the loss of my eye.”

Po was jailed for six months.

Adulterous sex to bring down Chinese Communist Party?

 

In a hardening of previous policy, the Chinese government are set to crack down on government officials who have been found to have “kept and supported” mistresses, in a move aimed at ‘raising social morals’.

Mistresses and “second wives” are common among government officials and businessmen in China.

Corrupt officials are a major cause of public outrage in China, and the country’s Communist rulers have warned that if graft is not checked it could threaten the party’s grip on power.

Chinese policy makers found it ”necessary to make a clarification and emphasis” on the punishment for officials who supported mistresses.

“The morality of government officials shown in their management or power operation… directly affects the moral level of the whole society.”

“Therefore, officials should set up good examples, and abide by social morality rules.”

Last year, a Chinese vice admiral was jailed for life on embezzlement charges after one of his many mistresses blew the whistle on him when he refused to give in to her demand for money.

The Crazy News- Tool of the Week

Some people have all the time in the world.

Regular Homer Simpson, Greg Packer, is claiming his 15 minutes of fame for the second time in New York this week. Or is it the 3rd or 4th or 5th time?

The 43-year-old retired highway maintenance worker (retired? how much do they get paid) started lining up to be the first to purchase the new iPhone from Apple’s flagship store in Manhattan, 101 hours before it goes on sale 6pm Friday US eastern time.

  Apple Man

Packer has since been joined by about more than a dozen other iPhone fans and opportunists, who have also chosen to join in on the sit in, braving the concrete enhanced heat of the other famous Big Apple.

Packer says he is relying on food donations and the bathroom facilities at the Apple Store, which is open 24-hours a day.

 Sitting is fun.

This isn’t the first time our good friend has made headlines waiting for fancy new products to come on sale; he was one of the first to buy a Playstation 3 when that went on sale last November. Indeed, he even has his own wikipedia page, which says he has appeared in mainstrem media more than 100 times, quoted by various media organisations since the mid 1990’s infact.

And according to US TV news host Keith Olberman, this guy is a bit of a pest. The Associated Press even put out a memo to it’s journalists, warning them not to “indulge him”.

The iphone retails between $US499 for a 4GB memory and $US599 for one with 8.

And guess what! Our iPhone friend even has his own wordpress blog!

He’s looking for someone to donate him a comfy chair for all that sitting he’s been doing. It just goes to show, you don’t need to have much talent to be famous in America, just ask Paris Hitlon.

You also have to wonder, could this be a smart marketing stunt from the Jobs’ Apple team? Maybe you should ask..maybe I should ask. Naaa…

Update: Interview with iPhone Greg and fellow lineruperer David.

It’s a circus out there!

Meanwhile, on Friday, just hours before the iPhone went on sale in New York City, a camera crew doing a live interview had a number of those gathered in and near the line taunting and swearing at them. A bloke even tired to grab the reporter’s microphone, before being hammered to the ground by security/teamsters.

 

Ouch!, man gets testie ripped off by crazed woman…

   Testicle for dinner anyone?

What a nut case!

A woman has been jailed after she ripped off her former boyfriend’s testicle with her bare hands. The woman apparently went into a frenzied rage after her ex rejected her advances at the end of a house party in Liverpool, England.

24 year old Amanda Monti pulled off 37 year old Geoffrey Jones’ left testicle and then tried to swallow it, not a misprint. After deciding not to devour the fresh man sack, she spat it out. Then amazingly a friend handed it back to Mr Jones saying: “That’s yours.”

  Jailed.

Amanda Monti admitted wounding and was jailed for two-and-a-half years by Judge Charles James.

The court heard that Mr Jones had ended his long-term but “open relationship” with Monti towards the end of May 2007.

The pair remained freinds and on 30 May this year she picked him up from a party where they went back to the man’s house for drinks with other friends.

An argument ensued and Mr Jones said there was a struggle between them.

In his statement, Mr Jones said Ms. Monti grabbed his genitals and “pulled hard”.

“That caused my underpants to come off and I found I was completely naked and in excruciating pain.”

The court heard that a friend saw Monti put Mr Jones’s testicle into her mouth and try to swallow it.

She choked and spat it back into her hand before the friend grabbed it and gave it back to Mr Jones. Doctors were unable to re-attach the organ.

In a letter to the court, Monti said she was sorry for what she had done.

She said: “It was never my intention to cause harm to Geoff and the fact that I have caused him injury will live with me forever. I am in no way a violent person.”

The letter added: “I have challenged myself to explain what has happened but still I just cannot remember. This has caused much anguish to me and will do for the rest of my life.”

Very, very disturbing stuff..

Give me jail! Women’s undergarment robber demands of Judge.

The Crazy News- Tool of the Week 

A judge in Colorado, USA, granted a defendent his wish to go to jail after he confesed to breaking into womens homes’ and stealing their underwear.

Prosocuters had recommended that 40 year old Steven Quatkemeyer be put under probation, as several misdemeanors and six other felony counts were dropped in exchange for a guilty plea from the thief. But probation was not enough for the drug addict, so he demanded he be put in the big house.

“I apologize to the families affected from the bottom of my heart,” a weeping Quatkemeyer told the court. “After a couple of weeks of incarceration, I realized what I had done was very wrong.”

After pleading with the Judge to be locked away, Quatkemeyer was then given a sentence of 4 years.

Defense attorney Mark Rue said Quatkemeyer felt he needed the treatment programs offered by the state prison system.

Police arrested Quatkemeyer for stealing hundreds of pairs of lingerie and panties after a victim who had been subjected to repeated break-ins installed video surveillance equipment.

Quatkemeyer said a methamphetamine addiction led him to his clandestine life of stealing, then wearing, women’s underwear.

Police found night vision goggles when they arrested him.

Thats right, he could have got off with probation, but instead he insisted he go in the big house. He got himslef 4 long years in the slamma. If this isn’t the definition of tool, I dont know what is. I trust you enjoyed the pictures.

Women dream about sex just as much as men.

 

A new Canadian study on what we dream about when we sleep says that men and women dream about sex on an equal level.

The study was based on interviews with 109 women and 64 men who logged their dreams over a period of two to four weeks. The volunteers racked up some 3500 dreams, with 8 per cent of those being of an erotic nature.

It found that women think about doing it with movie and rock stars and politicians or lovers of past, while men dream about making love to multiple partners in public or unknown settings.

The women who took part in the study were twice as likely to have dream scenarios featuring celebrities such as actors Brad Pitt or George Clooney, or Irish rocker Bono, as their male counterparts.

Men, on the other hand, reported dreams featuring multiple sex partners twice as often as the women.

Men almost never had to put their ego on the line and come on to a woman. In about 90 per cent of the erotic dreams males logged, the women made the first move.

“The men had women coming on to them – at least in their dreams,” said author Antonio Zadra, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Montreal in Canada.

The pattern may reflect a certain amount of wishful thinking given the usual social norms that apply in the dating and courtship world, Professor Zadra said.

And finally, when it came to erotic dreams that dealt with sexual disappointments, the genders had very different tales to tell.

The women recounted scenarios where they were turned off by something that happened or the pace of proceedings. For the men, it was more often a case of their virtual partners refusing to engage in certain activities, or their sexcapade plans falling through for some reason.

“Maybe their demands were unrealistic even for their dream characters,” Prof Zadra said.

All the participants in the study were heterosexuals.

Man bleeds green blood, relation to Mr Spock ruled out.

 

Surgeons in Canada had the shock of a lifetime when a man they were operating on began to bleed green blood. The 42-year-old, who was in emergency surgery after he fell asleep while sitting and developed a dangerous condition in his legs, shed a dark greenish colored blood reports say.

The unusual colour of his blood was down to the migraine medication he was taking. His blood returned to normal once he eased off the drug which he had been taking large doses – 200 milligrams a day in fact.

The drug caused a rare condition called sulfhaemoglobinaemia, where sulphur is incorporated into the oxygen-carrying compound haemoglobin in red blood cells.

“The patient recovered uneventfully, and stopped taking sumatriptan after discharge. When seen five weeks after his last dose, he was found to have no sulfhaemoglobin in his blood,” the lead surgeon told journalists.

The man had compartment syndrome, which sees swelling and pressure in the leg which limits blood flow and causes localised tissue and nerve damage. It is commonly caused by trauma, internal bleeding or a wound dressings or cast being too tight.

According to the fictional TV series Star Trek, Mr Spock of the starship Enterprise had green blood because the oxidizing agent in Vulcan blood is copper, not iron, as it is in humans.

The very odd couple, 53 years of marriage and nothing but hate.

 

A Chinese couple now in their 80’s have such a bad relationship they can only communicate with terse notes, despite the fact that they still live in the same house as one another.

Mr Toa and Mrs Yang married back in 1954 after falling in love, but soon Mrs Yang said she discovered that Mr Yang had  ”too many faults”, and as time went on their relationship deterorated signifantly.

Her husband, Mr Tao, said things got particularly bad in 1989, a time when the couple would start arguing after just a few words with each other.

The old couple have now taken themselves to court, with Mrs Yang demanding that her husband give her an allowance so she can enjoy greater independence from him. Mrs Yang, 80, has never worked and so has no income of her own.

She told the court that if she wants something she leaves her husband a note saying such things as “no toothpaste”, which he then buys.

Mrs Yang, who arrived at court separately from her husband, is demanding he give her a 450 yuan ($59) monthly allowance out of his 1,000 ($130) pension.

The court, in Beijing’s Chaoyang District, is due to make a ruling next week.

 Not Mr Tao and Mrs Yang.

The Yangs have never divorced due to the notion being socially unacceptable and taboo among the older Chinese generation.

Jan Grzebski, 19 year coma patient, says 21st century people “never stop moaning”

 

A Polish man who miraculously woke up form a 19 year old coma says he is amazed at the amount of goods available in shops, is taken aback at the way people walk around talking on their mobile phones, and cried when he discovered the communists were no longer in power.

 Railway worker Jan Grzebski, 65, fell into a coma after he was hit by a train in 1988. Grzebski credits his amazing tale of survival to his wife Gertruda who moved her husband many times a day over a nearly two decade period to prevent bed sores, and spoon fed him.

Doctors gave him only two or three years to live after the accident, “Those who came to see us kept asking: ‘When is he going to die?’ But he’s not dead…it was Gertruda that saved me, and I’ll never forget it.”

 ”When I went into a coma there was only tea and vinegar in the shops, meat was rationed and huge petrol queues were everywhere…what amazes me today is all these people who walk around with their mobile phones and never stop moaning, I’ve got nothing to complain about,”Grzebski said  when asked on his thoughts of the Poland of 2007.

“I could not talk or do anything, now it’s much better…I wake up at 7 a.m., and I watch TV,” he said, smiling slightly.

Standing by her man:

“I would fly into a rage every time someone would say that people like him should be euthanized, so they don’t suffer,” his wife Gertruda told local newspaper Gazeta Dzialdowska. “I believed Janek would recover… This is my great reward for all the care, faith and love”.

“He remembers everything that was going on around him,” she said. “He talks about it and remembers the weddings of our children. He had fever around the time of the weddings, so he knew something big was taking place.”

What an amazing story, obviously a very lucky man indeed.

Amature porn killing professional industry.

 

The online availability of free and low-cost pornographic photos and videos has begun to take a toll on the sales of X-rated web sites and DVDs. An article in Saturdays New York Times has revealed that inexpensive digital technology has allowed aspiring amateur pornographers to flood the market, while the rest of the porn industry gives away more material in order to lure and maintain paying customers.

“People are making movies in their houses and dragging and dropping them onto free Web sites…It’s killing the marketplace.”, says a porn executive.

And Companies in the business are even supplying much of the free porn samples. “They think that if they give people enough of a free sample, they’ll come back and pay, but that’s not true, but in reality… people are surfing for free material, getting what they want and then leaving.”

Some companies are experiencing drops in revenue of up to 30%, and there are even claims that there has been a drop in the quality of plot and story lines, (as if they could become any worse). “There’s not a whole lot of story — it’s basically right to the sex, but we’re consistent with the quality”, says one industry insider.

Figures released recently show that the revenue from sales of pornographic videos, rentals and purchases dropped to US$3.62 billion in 2006, down from Us$4.28 billion in 2005.

 So people, get your act together, quit filming and showing your home movies online, and let the pros do the work. Your killing the fun for us all, fore-shame!.

Caught fingerless, German man learns painful way , crime “doesn’t pay”.

  The finger

A breakin at Berlins Technical Museum left a burgular one finger short on Tuesday night.

A 35 year old man set off an alarm at the museum and soon found himself being chased by two securtity guards. He somehow escaped, climbed a 3 meter fence, which snagged a ring on his right hand.

The man managed to free himself — but only after tearing off the finger. The security guards arrested him when he went back to recover the severed digit and ask for medical aid.
“His comment afterwards was: ‘Breaking and entering doesn’t pay,’” said a spokeswoman for local police. Doctors were unable to reattach the man’s finger.

Hot dog! Cracking the old Chestnut.

 

A California man has smashed the world record for hot-dog eating, gobbling up more than 59 franks in 12 minutes. Joey Chestnut surpassed the record of 53 3/4 hot dogs — held for six years by Takeru Kobayashi of Japan.

The 22-year-old set the record Saturday in Arizona in a regional qualifier for Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island, N.Y. Chestnut will now be able to face off against Kobayashi at the July 4 championship.”These guys’ numbers have just been going up at a tremendous clip,” said contest spokesman Ryan Nerz.

 ”I always thought there was a limit — a limit to the human stomach and a limit to human willpower.

Chestnut admits he will have to strain his body to win at the New York title event. “I’m going to keep pushing my body and maybe I can beat him (Kobayashi),” Chestnut said

 

Chestnut ready to blow in a previous hot dog eating comp…”Bbbluu..”

Judging by the way Kobayashi slams down those dogs, the strain is going to have to be severe.

Baseball manager not a well man.

       Phillip Wellman in saner (and by the looks of it slimer) times.

The manager of a United States Minor League Baseball team, The Mississippi Braves, has gone on a crazy tirade. Phillip Wellman apparently had enough of the umpires, springing out of the dugout to let his temper flare. After a nose-to-nose argument with the home plate ump, Wellman completely covered home plate in dirt. He then made his way up the third base line, where he ripped third base out of the dirt and hurled it into the outfield.

As if that wasn’t enough retribution for Wellman, the manager then got on all fours and crawled toward he pitcher’s mound like a special ops commando, grabbing the pitcher’s rosin bag, holding it to his mouth and tossing it toward the home plate umpire as if it were a grenade. Scooping up the bases, Wellman walked toward the center field exit, taking a bow for the crowd before leaving the field.

Here’s the video…I hope you enjoy it, I know I did!

Sexsomnia, happening in a bedroom near you!

      People are still having sex.

You can add sex to the roster of unlikely sleep behaviors known as parasomnias, which range from sleep driving to sleep eating, say psychological health experts.

“Sleepsex” or “sexsomnia” as it is being called occours during partial arousal from deep sleep, when the brain regions devoted to higher thought, judgment and reasoning are shut down, and areas governing more primitive functions (such as locomotion, eating and sex) are still active.

“One man had been initiating intercourse on almost a nightly basis,” says a psychologist about one case of sleepsex. That was apparently fine with his wife, until “one night he started snoring.” In another case, a female sexsomniac routinely groped her husband. Whenever he responded, “she would wake up and accuse him of forcing sex on her while she slept.”

Not all cases of sleepsex are so amusing. Canadian Jan Luedecke had a history of sleepwalking. One night he’d been drinking at a party and found himself sacked out on the couch with a woman he’d met there. Hours later, she jolted him awake and demanded to know what he was doing. Luedecke claimed he was unaware he was having sex with her. “Under the law, if there’s no intent to commit a crime, you haven’t committed a crime,” says Dr. Colin Shapiro, director of the Youthdale Child and Adolescent Sleep Center in Toronto, who testified for the defense. Luedecke was acquitted (to the outrage of women’s organizations in Canada), and the case is now on appeal.

The condition is highly treatable with the generic anti-anxiety drug clonazepam. Seeking help can only work to a sufferer’s advantage. After all, if you’re going to have sex, you might as well enjoy it.

A cup (or 4) of tea a day keeps the doctor away.

 

“Ahh yes, jolly good I say!”

Health researchers in Britain say tea can have positive benifits againsts heart disease and some cancers, as well as being a good drink to re-hydrate.  Polyphenol antioxidants are found in many foods and plants, including tea leaves, and have been shown to help prevent cell damage.

Other health benefits seen included protection against tooth plaque and potentially tooth decay, plus bone strengthening. “Drinking tea is actually better for you than drinking water. Water is essentially replacing fluid. Tea replaces fluids and contains antioxidants so it’s got two things going for it”, said public health nutritionist Dr Carrie Ruxton at Kings College London.

Dr Ruxton’s team found average tea consumption was just under three cups per day. She said the increasing popularity of soft drinks meant many people were not drinking as much tea as before.

“Tea drinking is most common in older people, the 40 plus age range. In older people, tea sometimes made up about 70% of fluid intake so it is a really important contributor,” she said.

Viagra for contraception?

 

A new study in the UK suggests taking Viagra may effect sperm functionality and lead to infertility.

In their experiments, Dr. David R. J. Glenn and colleagues observed that exposure of cultured sperm to Viagra, compared to no exposure, led to a “premature acrosome reaction.” Acrosomes are structures that cover the head of the sperm and contain a variety of enzymes that help the sperm penetrate the outer membrane of the egg.

“Given that the majority of sperm acrosome react on exposure to (Viagra), the drug may cause significant impairment to their fertilizing potential,” they write.

This is a concern, Glenn and colleagues say, given that Viagra and other like-drugs are widely available on the Internet and are increasingly being used “recreationally” by young healthy men of reproductive age as sexual enhancers — not just by older men who have erectile dysfunction.

So if your using Viagra and want kids, I’de stop. But if youre not interesting in having a young one you can train up to become the next Tiger Woods,  party on fellas! ;)
