I know I promised some thoughts on the Battlestar Galactica finale, and I *will* get around to it eventually. In the meantime, my mom sent me this today, and I must share:
It takes your food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach.
One human hair can support 3 kg (6.6 lb).
The average man’s penis is three times the length of his thumb.
Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.
A woman’s heart beats faster than a man’s.
There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet.
Women blink twice as often as men.
The average person’s skin weighs twice as much as the brain.
Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still.
If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it.
Women reading this will be finished now.
Men are still busy checking their thumbs.
. I highly recommend the whole series — a bit of time travel, a little history, some romance — but fair warning: it is addictive. I blew through all six books in less than one month, and they are LONG books. A new one 
is due out this fall.
as much this week as last. We went on a two hour snowshow hike up Mount Tom in Woodstock last Saturday and I did treadmill for almost three miles on Tuesday (that damn book again) but when I went back to the Shred yesterday, it wasn’t painful like the the first few days were. Still a hard workout, but I wasn’t in as much pain. So maybe I do need to graduate to the next level…
by Diana Gabaldon, I haven’t watched any TV in two weeks except for last Friday’s Battlestar Galactica. Tons of shows collecting on the DVR.
