Why do such things come up whenever I try to quit something!?

Well, according to some researchers, Coffee could protect against oral cancers…

These researchers made some study on some men and split’em into two groups; those who consume coffee and those who don’t.

They realized that those who consume coffee cut their risk by half…

I laughed when I read Engadget’s joke (I’ll quote it later on)…

Oxford Neurosurgery professor Tipu Aziz tried such device that simulate physical signals to the brain to increase sex and food pleasure… But the subject that tried such thing complained about being sex-supercharged constantly so they had to remove things…

That professor is predicting such device to be out in the future… So the Engadget’s joke was:

Sure, sure — but can you overclock it?

I think I should lure dad to play Generals

I’ll quote this from REUTERS article:

The findings suggest that video games that keep players “on their toes” might help older adults keep their brains sharp, the researchers report in the journal Psychology and Aging.

I remember my dad wanted to play “Wolf3D” but he couldn’t process everything… I think I should force him into Counter-Strike: Source or maybe Team Fortress 2

Good thing I don’t… Well, not that hard

I’m a heavy metal fan… But I’m not as crazy as this (Well, I am more than this amount of craziness… But I invest such craziness in other stuff :P)

Anyways, Head-Banging could cause injuries from whiplashes to strokes (oh noes!)

Some Australian researchers attended a Heavy Metal concert to observe Head-Banging techniques… Here’s what they think:

A typical 146-beat per minute Death-Metal rythme could cause mild head’n'neck injuries…

I think this quote would give a good example:

“In 2005, doctors believed that Terry Balsamo, the guitarist from the band Evanescence, experienced a stroke from head-banging,” it noted.

Alot of stuff to provide (That I kinda can’t figure out how to deliver)… So I’ll just provide the COSMOS MAGAZINE link to read more…

I just remembered Kusanagi Motoko from Ghost In The Shell when she hacked a tank which is connected to someone’s brain and saw the brain owner’s flashback as he dies (getting the brain fried)…

Some Japanese researchers has successfully in extracting images from a person’s vision directly from his brain…

Got some stuff to do with using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scanner thingies…

I just hope they use it for good (Seeing a dead victim’s last vision) and don’t turn things into something like what happened in Paprika…

I’m not a medic person so I’ll just leave the Yomiuri Link to check it out…

I couldn’t stop laughing when I read this… And I’m sure people would go like “Eww!! gross!!!” on such topic… But hey, we all came from such thing anyways

I’ll write a short description, you read the full details if you like:

They made study on some men in the United States (more than 400 men) with different intelligence state… And figured out that those with good intelligence would produce better quality sperm… Which doesn’t mean it ALWAYS occurs… It only means that they only scored better statistically results…

I could be wrong… Thats how I understood it…

But as a joke; “Are we REALLY able to produce such quality sperm (considering our current lame youth) here in Kuwait?”

This is really freakishly weirdly amazing…

Some Swedish researchers were able to create an illusion that makes men think they’re in a woman’s body and the way around…

They achieved such thing by placing some circuits over some fake models that and some cameras on the model’s eyes and connecting them somehow to the person’s body (by placing feelers to their body so if the models got touched, the feelers will feedback almost the same feeling… Well, more or less)…

But illusion can go only this far… As in you can’t fool a human to think he’s a box!! (He might if you slipped some caffeine pills or whatever :P)… Which floats a weird question; Would he believe he’s a guerrilla?

The good thing is, this might let cross-dressers think of using such think instead of wearing woman stuff and wander off in public disgusting others…

The bad thing is, things could go wrong and girls into guys and guys into girls!! (Which this woul be the only use for such thing here in Kuwait… And for the laughs and kicks :P)…

This would decrease the amount of cross-dressers and increase the amount of both (fe)male gayness here in Kuwait

But seriously… The concept is surprising and I think it’s original and new… I could be wrong though…

This might be a good news to fat people (Including my brother and alot of my friends)…

A study in New York suggests that eating protein would burn post-meals fat more in higher-fat bodies more than lower ones… But they’re not sure about weight loss although they’re aiming to study such thing in the study’s next step…

I hope this study leads to “Hey chubb (Chub walla keteb?:P)… Burn your fat by eating protein… Probably Fish”… So girls here in Kuwait (Who think they’re fat but they’re totally not) would stop abuse themselves with extremely strict diets that they would end being a Skeleton model for Biology classes… Few exceptions…

I’m sure this isn’t a so unique study… But it just stole my attention and felt like writing about it…

Don’t get me wrong everyone… I know how hard they’re having it… Being over-weighted is annoying… But Extreme diet might not be the right answer (or even an answer) to help you lose weight…

More details can be found in REUTERS article.

Ofcourse it’s a known thing that women shouldn’t drink coffee while they’re pregnant so the baby inside wouldn’t have unhealthy state when given birth…

Justin Konje at the University of Leicester in Britain and colleagues made a research and linked caffeine consumption to low birth weight issues…

As what I read and understood, a cup or two of coffee would increases the risk of giving birth to a low weighted baby to %20 (Which is 100ml to 199ml a day… And whats with the 99? add one more ml damnit! :P)…

They didn’t get to that result while doing nothing y’know, they studied more than 2,500 women aged 30 in average with 8~12 weeks of pregnancy…

And ofcourse as a coffee lover, it’s nearly impossible to ask people to cut caffeine totally… So Justin recommended a caffeine consumption which goes below 100ml a day…

Another reason to say “Glad to be a man”

If you recall my post about How red color could effect a judge’s decision, you’ll probably like this one…

A study suggests that women in red drives men crazy…

Andrew Elliot, a psychology professor of the University of Rochester in Rochester, led the study.

Here’s how the study went like:

More than 100 college undergraduate students were shown pictures of women in red and asked about attractiveness, kindness and other stuff…

The answers were like, they were sexually attracted to those with red dresses or with red frames than the rest (HORNY BASTARDS!!)… Though the color didn’t affect the way they think about kindness and other factors…

The funny thing is, the undergraduate guys were asked how much would they spend if they had $100 and dated one of the women with red thingies… And the answer was “more than that!”…

Now I just sketched a strategy for girls to actually start professionally gold digging guys =P specially since we have a financial crisis running here in Kuwait…

Just kidding… I hope you actually use such hint for good plans… And guys, becareful…

Anyways… Here’s the REUTERS link.
