Gout Risk Increased with Drinking
In case you didn't know (which I didn't), Gout (explained here) is some sort of arthritis. There was a debate here at work as to whether it was a Goiter (Evan's initial thought) or Gangrene (my initial thought) but obviously we were both wrong.
In any case, unless you want your joints hurting like hell in your old-ass future, quit drinkin!
I don't know if anyone saw this unfortunate article anywhere, but it just floored me. Didn't Jesse Ventura get enough of driving Minnesotan politics to a new low? Doesn't George Bush make a mockery of the presidency enough as it is?
Most importantly, why didn't anyone tell me my ass was so big?
Er ... I mean why didn't anyone tell me the man was a visiting professor at Harvard?
Yeah, respect level for Harvard just dropped about 50% right there. Way to make sure everyone knows you have "top grade students." This only proves that all you need to get into "Big Red" is either insane smarts (like my friends) or piles of money (like most Harvard students).
