Gosh, didn't Mikey from that cereal commercial die by eating pop rocks and drinking Coca Cola? I heard he exploded.

Nah, Mikey was in the commercials for 'Life' cereal by Quaker (which has its plant in my hometown, Peterborough's claim to fame! That and Gretsky played for a season on the Peterborough Petes waaayyyy back-did'nt score a goal.)

"Give it to Mikey! He hates everything!"
"He likes it! Mikey likes it!"

We already know that drinking alcohol kills brain cells. But which brain cells does it kill?

Yep, you guessed it. It kills the slow ones. As a result, you are smarter. :-)

It is no joke. Medium alcohol consumption (1-3 drinks per day) have numeorus health benefits.
I do not have exact references in hand but can find them if necessary. There're papers in such reputed journals as Nature, Science, British Journal of Medicine etc. that document increse in longivity among moderate drinkers compared to abstensiers. Cited benefits are better cardio-vascular status, decrease in lung deseases, cancer and even Alzheimer and other forms of dementia.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Chinese food yet.

... Pizza may be good, but it's fried Pigeon and Egg Foo Yung that fills you up.

Re: Something You Do Not Do!
 

Hey, don't be sarcastic on fried pigeon, I love it! The saying goes in Chinese that "anything with 4 legs can be eaten", plus snakes and monkey brains!

And I think it is RED WINE not beer that is good for your heart, so don't use THAT as an excuse! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Um, and for what it is worth:
Grape juice is just as effective as wine.
Sorry to dissapoint. Still, I'll take the Merlot.
