Weight Lifting & Osteoporosis

I read an article on osteoporosis in the newspaper today. The bad news is that women have 3 times more chances in getting it after menopause but the good news is it can be prevented by consuming enough calcium rich food and engaging in exercises which involve weight lifting. That makes me more motivated to continue going to the gym. My favorite machine is the one pictured above. I can do a lot of exercises with this particular machine so I don't have to move from one to another. I hope I will stay active "forever"

Drunken Rats

Strange things have been written in the news paper lately. Last week in was about turning ashes of the dead into diamond! I think I will stick to being mud. Anyway, 3 days ago there was an article on killing rats with beer! And the title was really cheerful too: “Cheers to killing pests the safe way”. For some reason the word killing and safe don’t belong together. It is hilarious that beer is considered a safe substitute to toxic chemicals when the rats’ tummies would be blown up after consuming it. I think the title should be :”Beer is toxic because it blows pests”.
But once I found out that the inventor is a former boxer, it was no surprise. His head might have been banged prettybad.
