Now you need a milk moustache! Hey, it’s my favorite drink (with orange juice a close runner-up) so I fully support these ads. “How many of you have seen the ‘Got milk?’ ads with Aaron Rodgers and Greg Jennings?” Angie Edge of the Wisconsin Milk [...]]]> http://www.Peon25.com/2011/10/17/milk-the-ultimate-sports-beverage/feed/ 1 http://www.Peon25.com/2011/10/05/steve-jobs-passes-away/ http://www.Peon25.com/2011/10/05/steve-jobs-passes-away/#comments Wed, 05 Oct 2011 23:45:12 +0000 Jason Zajdel http://www.Peon25.com/?p=3609 Wonder why Steve was a no-show at the Apple convention this week? Steve Jobs 1955-2011. Jobs co-founded Apple Computer in 1976 and, with his childhood friend Steve Wozniak, marketed what was considered the world’s first personal computer, the Apple II. Industry watchers called him a master innovator — perhaps on a par with Thomas Edison — changing [...]]]> http://www.Peon25.com/2011/10/05/steve-jobs-passes-away/feed/ 1 http://www.Peon25.com/2011/06/29/diet-soda-makes-you-fat/ http://www.Peon25.com/2011/06/29/diet-soda-makes-you-fat/#comments Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:16:07 +0000 Jason Zajdel http://www.Peon25.com/?p=2589 Now, I’m not saying that I fully believe every study that comes out, or that they are completely truthful without bias in one direction or another, but rather I am relaying findings from recent studies. New research from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio has found that people who drink diet [...]]]> http://www.Peon25.com/2011/06/29/diet-soda-makes-you-fat/feed/ 0 http://www.Peon25.com/2011/04/25/mile-high-club-how-about-the-22000-mile-high-club/ http://www.Peon25.com/2011/04/25/mile-high-club-how-about-the-22000-mile-high-club/#comments Tue, 26 Apr 2011 00:21:36 +0000 Jason Zajdel http://www.Peon25.com/?p=2261 While humans have been a spacefaring species for more than 50 years, it’s quite possible we have not performed that most basic of acts, sex, beyond terra firma. Yet. Rumors have long swirled that astronauts may have hooked up in orbit, perhaps even as part of secret sex-in-space experiments run by the Russian or American governments.

I toyed with some Bio Feedback stuff last semester in my psychology course, but the primary function of this little device is wireless EKG transmitting.

And to combat this change in diet, Starbucks has introduced a 31-ounce size cup of coffee and other calorie-filled drinks. Because Venti, the 20-ounce size, is not enough, Starbucks now has 11 ounces more in the form of Trenta. The regular 16-ounce Grande has an estimate of 420 [...]]]> http://www.Peon25.com/2011/01/18/starbucks-another-way-to-kill-you-faster/feed/ 5 http://www.Peon25.com/2010/07/28/well-if-you-must-insist/ http://www.Peon25.com/2010/07/28/well-if-you-must-insist/#comments Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:46:25 +0000 Jason Zajdel http://www.Peon25.com/?p=1150 While I’m not suggesting we all go out and get smashing drunk until we’re too old to care, there are more benefits! Rheumatoid arthritis patients who drink alcohol tend to have less severe symptoms than those who don’t, a new study finds. Earlier research has shown that compared to teetotalers, alcohol drinkers are less likely to [...]]]> http://www.Peon25.com/2010/07/28/well-if-you-must-insist/feed/ 2 http://www.Peon25.com/2010/07/22/is-swimming-the-best-form-of-workout/ http://www.Peon25.com/2010/07/22/is-swimming-the-best-form-of-workout/#comments Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:47:21 +0000 Jason Zajdel http://www.Peon25.com/?p=1096 One more reason why I love SWIMMING! It’s the only sport where you need to regulate breathing, and it exercises nearly every muscle in your body, simultaneously. Here’s another tip: a 2008 study finds a lower death rate among swimmers than walkers or runners. You can swim with just your arms if you have a [...]]]> http://www.Peon25.com/2010/07/22/is-swimming-the-best-form-of-workout/feed/ 1 http://www.Peon25.com/2010/07/07/should-the-birth-control-pill-be-sold-without-a-prescription/ http://www.Peon25.com/2010/07/07/should-the-birth-control-pill-be-sold-without-a-prescription/#comments Thu, 08 Jul 2010 02:04:15 +0000 Jason Zajdel http://www.Peon25.com/?p=999 An over-the-counter version has long been called for, but it could soon be available if a group of practitioners and advocates have their way. When Kelly Blanchard advocated to make oral contraceptives over the counter in a New York Times op-ed two weeks ago, she represented a decades-long movement among clinicians, researchers, and women’s-health advocates to remove [...]]]> http://www.Peon25.com/2010/07/07/should-the-birth-control-pill-be-sold-without-a-prescription/feed/ 0 http://www.Peon25.com/2010/06/06/do-pets-eat-better-than-people/ http://www.Peon25.com/2010/06/06/do-pets-eat-better-than-people/#comments Sun, 06 Jun 2010 16:00:50 +0000 Jason Zajdel http://www.Peon25.com/?p=759 A visit to a local supply store for pets has convinced some that many people’s pets eat better than their two-legged companions, or their companion’s children.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warned consumers early Friday to immediately stop using the glasses. It was not yet clear if the recall extended to McDonald’s in Canada. The [...]]]> http://www.Peon25.com/2010/06/04/mcdonalds-shrek-glasses-being-recalled/feed/ 0
