Michael Vick

"Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles agreed Monday to a six-year contract that again makes the Pro Bowl quarterback one of the NFL's highest-paid players. NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reported the contract is worth $100 million, according to a league source, and NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora also cited a league source in reporting that $36 million of the total amount is guaranteed." (NFL.com)

Michael Vick.

You still that real old softy, dog lovin' guy Mr Vick? Of course you are; even though some folks might thinks it's a tad obscene them amount of football playin' reward $$$$$'s considerin' all things. Anyways...here's a couple of  snaps to sweep you back to them good ol' dog fightin' lovin' days, that'll melt that ol' soft heart of yours.

Log A Jog...

"Jogging beats weight lifting for losing belly fat." (usatoday.com)

"All day couch kipping, deep fried anything and that 2am Elvis snack will perhaps not achieve the desired tapered tum look" Thus spoke Dr of the bleedin' obvious with the findings of an eight month study tucked under his ample belt. "Resistance training is great if you're in an occupied country, but for improving strength and increasing lean body mass, you may have to press the horizontal release button and relinquish the four seater sofa once in a while."

Just what the hell is it, Bob?

The lead author and exercise physiologist Cris Slentz said in a Duke news release. "If you are overweight, which two-thirds of the population is, and you want to lose belly fat, aerobic exercise is the better choice because it burns more calories."
Open new file tomorrow: Bleedin' Obvious 1.

Choco Pig Out, Live Forever!

 "Heart experts say more leisure and some chocolate are good for you." (AFP)

"A greater part of any proposed daily physical activity in leisure time should be vigorously avoided. And why? Well, you can't ride a bike on black ice while pigging a box of your fav life savers."

Two hands; always much better than one.

Dr E. Expert popped a few in before he continued; first checking that funding from Chocolate World Inc. was indeed secure for a further five gobbly good years. "It's all based on the individuals own perception of greed intensity," Dr Eddy E said, while wiping the funding grin and orangy twirl remnants from his face. "In Choc-o-land there's no scientific evidence to prevent one from an Olympian 48hour 'Mammoth Maximus' choc-in; though beginners best bring along a biggish bowl and a non squeamish friend." But what about the 1950's Readers Digest section about laughter being the best medicine?  "Hm...not exactly chemo," cautioned Eddy. "And as for hospital beds surrounded by flowers, foliage and fruit fly? All equally useless, as well as pissing off anal Nurse Tidies country wide".
In yet another report, Mitch Muller a professor at the University of Lazyland School of Medicine found similar proof in his newly funded study entitled, 'Similar Proof.' When asking volunteers to first watch a stressful movie such as "Bambi" followed by the yoga yawn promo, "Double Death 3" the Muller and his independent research team found both films irrelevant. Whereas, blood vessel linings, pulse and unhealthy responses to some questions about the vasoconstrictions were detected only in those who swapped chocs for popcorn before the lights-out fumble test.
Eighty per cent milky Muller stated that Lazyland's evidence had concurred with all the other institutes of bias and fat check receivers.
Off the record a perplexed Muller said, "The vigorous scientific pursuit of truth must take place somewhere....I suppose?"

Gaga? Radio's OK, But Please, No Lady.

The Chinese Ministry of Culture doesn't want disturbing. No Gaga Lady!

Gaga

And certainly none of these Backstreet Bandeeto Boys. "We all hetro in Culture Ministry and all Peep's Republic China."

So... what's on offer?

Not Gaga.

 "Earth Wife - special mass culture, Liaoning Province, will stage a grand party in Beijing.
National theater drama performances plays good will be held in Shanghai.
Thirteenth Wuqiao Acrobatics Festival held in October.
South Korea Serious Games Forum will held in Changzhou. Deepen cultural restructuring, prosperity and development of cultural undertakings and cultural industries. By special agreement." (Ministry of Culture).

The above all just too exciting for you? Well...there's always the chill room...

Very gaga.
