I started this thread because I posted something in the thread of "Dumb News and Your Views" that was not necessarily dumb but more interesting , I just didn't know where to put it. So anyway,........

Here's something interesting.........

Having lots of friends is a better painkiller than morphine. http://tiny.iavian.net/a1ij

With as much sleep as I've had this week, I must be drunker than a skunk!

Working while sleepy? You might as well do vodka shots at your desk. http://tiny.iavian.net/a1wv

Oh, so true. I've had a few days lately where something was bothering me and for two or three days I stayed up until I knew I could just drop off to sleep without laying awake thinking. A week later I looked at the code I wrote and while it was perfectly functional - okay, it *functioned* anyway - it looked like a drunk conjured up the logic tree by crafting an old school flow chart out of beer nuts and stale pretzels...

NEWS ALERT:
Very interesting news :

Take a buddy the next time you go to the hospital.

Researchers: Medical errors now third leading cause of death in United States. http://tiny.iavian.net/a4hw

I just don't understand how you can cut off the wrong appendage. Nurses used to have to mark the correct limb (which I thought wasn't a good idea), but now the surgeons do it. And the hospitals that I've worked at have a computerized system for meds that ok drugs for each patient with their armband.

Guns, Guns, Guns! Record gun sales this year!

I'd get a gun, but I don't trust myself with one.

NEWS ALERT!

Cell phones cause cancer, brain tumors, and can be harmful to unborn babies.

I always thought cell phones caused cancer. I'm going to stop carrying mine like I have been - I carry two cell phones close to me in my front pockets at work.

I think smart phones are just generally bad for people, and not because of cancer.

I remember when people first started getting iPhones and Blackberries. They were really expensive, but seemed so advanced. I couldn't afford one, and I swore I'd never get one. I was paranoid about privacy issues: I didn't like the idea of a touchscreen ("but won't it turn on in my pocket?!"), and I hated how everyone seemed to be glued to their phones. I felt so superior hanging on to my "dumbphone" long after smartphones were standard.

Then I got one myself, and I'm now one of the annoying people that is glued to the phone. I think it's made my obsessions worse, because I always have the internet with me, or music, or a game, or a shopping list. I don't even have to interact with anyone.

This technology just helps us to stay in our own little worlds all day, even NTs. I think for me it's worse, because having ASD means I get "addicted" to things easily.

My step mom is a nurse, and she had male cops come into the hospital seeking help with fertility problems.

They found out that the cops no longer produced sperm, because for years these cops would sit in their cop cars with their radar equipment on their laps.

Apparently, the early radar equipment would sterilize people.

I've had this view about myself for a long time. The government fearing side of me wants to do it while I still can. But there remains a fair chance in a moment of depair I may use it on myself. Or I may use it if I had one and someone came to my door to try and confiscate it unjustly.

You can kill yourself with a bottle of aspirin. That last sentence is why you would have one.
