Hong Kong residents have found a new way to energize themselves: get stoned, the legal way.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, drinking water in direct contact with energized mineral stones "gives a powerful bio-resonance", thereby transfering incredible energizing and healing effect to the drinker.

I wonder long it will take Amsterdam coffee houses to pick up on the idea.

Un petit graphique charmant qui nous montre le pourcentage de la population de chaque pays qui aindice corporel supérieur à 30, donc qualifiable d'obèse.

On pourrait en déduire qu'en France, on devrait arrêter de se prendre le choux pour rien avec tous ces avertissements ridicules sur les publicités qui disent de ne manger ni sucré ni salé ni gras ni du tout, mais il faut garder un oeil sur un détail — les données de ce graphique est valable pour les plus de 15 ans, or il semblerait qu'une proportion notable des enfants français soient aujourd'hui obèses.

Donc avant de vous moquer des USA, regardez vos enfants.

When one watches sports on TV, one likes to indulge in the consumption of such products as pizza or beer, for example.

Well, one now has one less thing to distract one from the game at hand: instead of having to hold the beer with one hand and the pizza with the other (leaving no hand available for the TiVo/BskyB remote), one can just hold one thing — Pizza Beer.

One should not worry, there are no tricks behind this, Pizza Beer is just what its name implies, pizza-flavoured beer.

One can thank Tom Seefurth, a suburban brewer from Illinois for making the bold step of putting actual pieces of pizza (meat-lovers ? vegetarian ? the mystery remains) in the brewing bins, then calling the press to tell them about it.

One can rest assured, the world is going in a wonderful direction.

The world may be turning towards the natural, organic foods in farmers' markets, but the message does not seem to have reached up the Bayou in Mississippi. The Good Ole Boys have lately taken to marinating pickles in fluorescent-colored Kool-Aid to get that sweet and sour effect.

Do you prefer your pickle in cherry or tropical fruit flavored Kool-Aid?

Vegetarians will no longer be able to eat Mars bars.

Masterfoods, the owner of Snickers, Maltesers, Bounty, Minstrels and Milky Way has declared that it will start using animal byproduct to make its chocolate bars because of sourcing problems. One of the byproducts they may include, rennet, is a chemical squeezed from the stomach of dead baby cows. I'm not vegetarian, but you won't catch me eating one of those bars.

Veganism is a lifestyle you choose, not impose (on a newborn baby).

In Atlanta, a couple has been sentenced to life for malnourishing (ie. starving) their newborn baby who weighed no more than 1.6 kilograms when he died, 6 weeks after birth. Not suprising: the baby was fed a diet based on soy milk and apple juice. A diet not even a cat can sustain on. (cats and dogs, who, as we remember, are now fed home-cooked food)

The couple was found guilty of "malice murder, felony murder, involuntary manslaughter and cruelty to children."

Can anyone revisit this license plate?
