diablopilot 2 #1 November 26, 2003 Drink up my friends Source unknown. WATER. 1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. 2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. 3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%. 4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study. 5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. 6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. 7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzz short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page. 8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. -------------------------- >>Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't sleep >>I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep. >>The leftovers beckoned-the dark meat and white >>But I fought the temptation with all of my might. >> >>Tossing and turning with anticipation >>The thought of a snack became infatuation. >>So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door >>And gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore. >> >>I gobbled up turkey and butter potatoes, >>Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes. >>I felt myself swelling so plump and so round. >>Till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground. >> >>I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky >>With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie. >>But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees.... >>Happy eating to all pass the cranberries, please. >> >>May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey be plump. >>May your potatoes'n gravy have nary a lump. >>May your yams be delicious, may your pies take the prize. >>May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off your thighs. >> >>Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

diablopilot 2 #3 November 26, 2003 Whoops. I'm getting to "happy-go-lucky" with the cut and paste. The first one isn't so much funny as a Public Service Anouncement..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

diablopilot 2 #5 November 26, 2003 Can anyone tell it's kinda slow today? The piece below has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from Georgia; however, he is not the originator. It was actually written in 1993 by Lewis Napper, a self-described amateur philosopher from Mississippi who ran for a US Senate seat in 2000 as a Libertarian. Kaye's name likely became associated with it through the innocent act of finding the article in his inbox and liking it enough to forward to friends. Kaye is quick to give credit where credit is due, and his office routinely informs those who ask about the "Bill of No Rights" of its true authorship. =================================== The New Constitution: "We, the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid any more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt-ridden, delusional and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill of No Rights." ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything. ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc., but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be ... and like the rest of us you need to simply deal with it. ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives and your lawyer independently wealthy. ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes. ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care. ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair. ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV, pool tables, weight rooms or a life of leisure. ARTICLE VIII: You don't have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of part time jobs, education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness --which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an overabundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights." ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from. We welcome you here. English is our language and like the country you left behind, we also have a culture. Learn it or go back to the country and the living conditions you were fleeing.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
