Doctors Are Dumb

Nick Steele Leave a comment

Now not all doctors are dumb but the ones that companies talk to in order to make their product seem “good” for you are probably dumb. I don’t know any so I can’t say for sure, but I’m going to go with gut on this.

I’m sure you have seen those commercials on TV, the most recent one I can think of is for “5 Hour Energy” where they say they talked to 3000 doctors about people using their product. It makes me laugh because everything she says doesn’t make sense. She says something like “We asked 3000 doctors is they would recommend 5 hour energy to their patients, and 73% said they would recommend it to their patients already taking a low calorie energy supplement” So basically if they are already taking energy inhancers they sure they might as well take 5 Hour Energy. Only 73% of them said they would? It’s supposed to be for energy right, it should be across the board!

Anyway, 20 years ago doctors said that cigarettes were good for you with the Camel tag line “”more doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette.” So it makes you think, what is going to kill us in 20 years that doctors are saying is ok now? Here’s what I found…

Top 10 Party Schools!

Nick Steele Leave a comment

Why would anyone go to college for any other reason than to party their faces off? Oh right, they have college girls! Well since it’s summer and I don’t want to get you thinking about going back to class, or mid-terms and all nighters. Or the pressure your calculus proffesor is putting on you, even though you were accidentally put in his class when you didn’t even pass high school geometry! I won’t bring any of that up. Instead I’m going to tell you where to apply if you like to PAR-TAY! These top 10 rankings are based on things like the number of on-campus arrests and student disciplinary actions for drugs and alcohol. Some other factors in these rankings are the school’s party reputation, number of bars, and number of beer drinkers.  Most of the stats are from 2010 , which is why you will find PENN STATE sitting at #2. Probably not too much partying going on nowadays. Especially foam parties…too much like a shower. ANYWAY! Check out the ranking after the jump!

Next time you lock yourself in your room to get away from your wife/husband and/or kids and blast your favorite music. Tell them you are just trying to get healthy.

YAY TECH!

Nick Steele Leave a comment

It seems like just the last 10 years that tech has really taken over our lives! Although Youtube and Facebook feel like they have been around forever to me. I don’t know what I would do without tech in my life other than be bored all the time and most likely have better eyesight. I came across some crazy tech facts that are pretty interesting and at the same time mind blowing to think about. Especially since I remember having to make room on my phone so I could get new text messages. Plus the iphone I had last year I had to download an APP to shoot video! Now they are making commercial with them! So tech is moving fast and I love it! Seriously, how does anyone get ANYWHERE without GPS?

No Olympics For Me!

Nick Steele Leave a comment

All this time I have been training to compete in the Olympics (in my head) in pretty much every event cause I’m pretty awesome at everything I do. But NOW, I’m giving all that up and will just go back to eating cheeseburgers everyday and never exercising. Or should I say…continue doing those things with a good reason! Why you ask? Why would I give up my dreams to wear that gold medal around my neck? First reason, I like TV and Cake (usually at the same time) and the second reason is although you win a bunch of money for getting a gold medal the government taxes you on the money AND the precious metal! Rude right? Check out the break down:

Americans who win golds get a bonus of $25,000 from the U.S. Olympic Committee. Silver gets you $15,000, bronze $10,000. After taxes, Gold medal winners end up owing Continue reading →

Questions Are Hard.

Nick Steele Leave a comment

Sometimes when you don’t expect people to ask you questions you can sound like an idiot when you give an answer right? For instance, I go to the airport every now and then and only one time has the guy checking my ticket ever asked me something. It was such a weird way to question me too and I wasn’t expecting it. I happen to still have my Nevada license so when he randomly spit out “Never hit on 12 right?” it threw me off. Instead of saying what first popped into my head, which was “Are you on drugs” and let it simmer a minute until I understood what he said and why he said it. It made for an awkward 10 seconds. I bring this up because of what just happened in California.

On Friday, Customs officials in L.A. questioned a guy who was acting suspicious before his flight from LAX to Tokyo. When they asked him his reason for traveling, he said he was going to Japan to visit his girlfriend in Hong Kong. They told him those are different countries. He responded, “They are?” Customs searched his suitcase and found 45 Snickers bars filled with meth. He was arrested.

My point is, be prepared for random questions at the airport. Also, the man who thought to mix CRACK (Snickers) and METH is a maniac but I like the way he thinks!

 

So THAT’s Why…

There have been some unprecedented things happening in this years Olympics. Not in competition but on Twitter, and mainly with the athletes that don’t realize they are being racists. Don’t believe me? Google it. Anyway, that’s not the only thing weird happening in London this year. Apparently there are these bizarre rules even for people who attend the Olympic events. Now some of them make sense, for example No Bagpipes and or Vuvuzelas allowed in any competition (YES!) But some other ones have you wondering why you would want to attend them at all. Check out the 6 weird rules you have to follow if you are just there watching Michael Phelps lose.

When Did I Get Fat?

According to reports plastic surgery is up and they are blaming Facebook. Apparently some people have never looked in a mirror, so when they get a picture of themself put on their Facebook wall they FREAK out! “I didn’t know my face looked like it had been attacked by a hive of Ugly Bees” or “when did I get more chins than stomachs?” OR “Maybe I should stop going to the tanning booth cause Im starting to look like an orange EWOK” These are questions that plague us everyday (ok, I made those up but I’m sure it’s something like that) So to save your face from ending up like Lindsey Lohans or worse Mickey Rourke’s, here are some helpful tips to make you look better from your friends at Skype.

Happy Birthday Bugs!

Nick Steele Leave a comment

72 years ago today the smart ass, fun loving grey rabbit named Bugs Bunny made his “official” debut when he teamed up for the first time with ELMER FUDD in a WARNER BROTHERS cartoon called “A Wild Hare.” I would have to give at least some credit to Bugs for some of personality traits! Then again, I think there is a little bit of him in all of us! (awwwwww!) Anway, Happy Birthday to Bugs Bunny!

For some reason this year I am more excited about the Olympics than I have ever been. I still don’t know all the sports that the USA is searching for gold in, or when they are going to be on TV.

Anyways, in honor of the opening ceremonies tonight, here are 10 CRAZy but true facts about the Olympics. Did you know that instead of medals, they got paintings one year? Do you know how many white people have run the 100 meter in under 10 seconds? How about the oldest and youngest Olympians EVER? Find out those and more cool facts after the jump!
