This is news? Really?

r.jpgI’m always looking for decent things to write about on AG and I do admit I’ve been in a slump. Nothing has grabbed my attention lately. Nothing is of interest (at least nothing I can try out because my graphic card SUCKS) and I’m broke and I live in the bowels of hell… and I’m a naysayer.

I might be a naysayer, but I’m also determined to break myself from the slaying that is nay (I guess that cancels out the nayishness of it). Tonight I went to good ol’ Reuters. When all else fails to grab your attention, scour through Reuters and you’re sure to find something. Maybe.

Listed under the most popular articles (Seriously?- the following is article worthy? It’s news? They’re actually reading it because it was unknown to them previously?)
1. Heavy marijuana use shrinks brain parts: study
2. Speed up bathing and save energy

Please don’t tell me I have to elaborate on either one of those articles.

Will tomorrow’s articles shed light by telling us:
1. If you don’t use your car, you will save gas
2. Lights, natural or artificial can help you see better
3. Eating less food helps in weight reduction
4. Having sex increases your chances of conception
5. Planning on taking a coast to coast trip this summer? Flying in an airplane instead of walking *could* reduce travel time significantly
6. Extensive UCLA studies show that people prefer sugar on cereal over salt

Oh I’ve got it, perhaps I should  submit some articles to assist society by telling them that getting a job will increase their income!

Helpful hints for the summer:
1. Staying in the shade can reduce sun damage
2. An airconditioner will cool down your dwelling more than an oven will
3. Students at UCLA are trying to solve the enigma of why residents of Nome, Alaska are less likely to suffer heat stroke unlike people in Death Valley, California.

    Yeah, this really is news. Lots of people think since Marijuana can be used for medicinal purposed (glaucoma or something) it can’t possibly have any ill effects.

    I agree

    I seriously would like to meet someone who has been oblivious to pot being bad for you. 3 generations have had it embedded in their heads via after school specials, ads, commercials, campaigns and the witness of Woody Harrelson’s carrier.

    If I show that person a lighter, I will be their God.
