Nutritional Studies


Recommended Posts

For those of you who watch what you eat,

here's the final word on nutrition and health.

It's a relief to know the truth

after all those conflicting

nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat

and suffer fewer heart attacks than

Australians.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat

and suffer fewer heart attacks than Australians.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine

and suffer fewer heart attacks than Australians.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine

and suffer fewer heart attacks than Australians.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats

and suffer fewer heart attacks than Australians.

CONCLUSION:

Eat and drink what you like.

Speaking English is apparently what kills you! :mellow:

It's a funnel web spider. Nasty little buggers and according to a program I saw on the Discovery channel, their fangs are sharp enough and they spring out hard enough to go through leather work boots! Of course, Australia is also home to many other deadly nasties, like Great White Sharks, Box Jellyfish, the poisonous claw-having Platypus and a bunch of others. For me spiders are the worst though, I hates me some spiders :mellow: .

I'm sorry exile360, thought you post above said you lived down under, I'm tired because the best time to fix communications equipment for the USFS & other agencies is at night when they don't use them. I work scatted 3rd shift also.

Thanks for the link Jax. I forgot to mention the immensely poisonous seasnakes, but you took care of that :) . Perhaps I'll visit Australia once I've combined my DNA with that of a hamster :):mellow: . I lived in NM for a while and they had scorpions and spiders, but also the nasty wind scorpion, also known as the camel spider, although nothing nearly as large as what's pictured with those soldiers. The ones we had, at least that I saw, got as big as your hand and were very aggressive (and very hard to squish). My first encounter with one was in my home. I chased it to the front door then it suddenly turned on me and reared up and ran at me, I squeeked (as I often do when encountering creepy arachnids :) ) and then remembered "I'm bigger than you are and I will squish you!". I proceeded to step on it with my military boots, but it didn't die, IT KEPT COMING!. I then stomped on it with both feed, jumping up and down, and finally it was dead after about 8 stomps, still twitching though.
