- Eating chocolate is good for you
- You can relieve headaches by putting your hand in a vise
- Beer is chocked full of antioxidants
- Skipping church helps you long for God more and makes you a overall better Christian
Okay I just spurted those out from the top of my head. Every time I sign out of my e-mail on the front page of Yahoo or MSN there is some little article with titles like that. I, being a fool click on them. They start out like some sort of breaking news and always end with something along the lines of a study of 30 people in some weird place in Europe underwent testing and these were the results, similar tests have shown nothing. In other words, you just wasted 3 minutes reading this to find out the author of this article couldn't find anything with proven results to write about so they decided this was news enough for some idiot who has nothing better to do than read their news from a front page Yahoo site! While I almost always seem to be able to avoid the celebrity gossip, when I see something like "Cheerios make you suicidal" as I'm eating my bowl of Cheerios I'd like to know before I take my next bite if it's something I should really care about or some whacked out writer who found a fly in his bowl.
