Earthshaking!!

Sometimes we all come across a bit of news that strikes us
as slightly funny. Well, just because my title mentions earthshaking, dont' go thinking that i think earthshakes/quakes are funny & the one that hit LA today isn't either, but I am glad that it wasn't more serious than it was. What i think is funny is that on the BBC i read an article titled "Hour's Excercise 'to lose weight'" and it said, "Women who want to lose weight - and keep it off - need to be exercising for almost an hour, five days a week, according to US experts." REALLY?! No way, that news is earthshaking!! for people to lose weight they need to excercise for an hour a day? I am probably the only one, but i actually chuckled to myself when i read that the first time. I feel like i've heard that we all need to exercise daily ever since i was in middle school health class at the MN Center.... anyone else find that topic funny in the least? ... just me? oh well, not the first time i thought something was funny & nobody else did. ....... Like the time that my roommate called the cops when he was home alone only to have a realtor show the house while while he was on the deck talking on his phone to the cops about a possible intruder! HILARIOUSNESS!!!

a. it's NOT funny because the article was focusing on the fact that it was an HOUR of exercise instead of the half hour that we've been hearing about our whole lives. it wasn't like the article was saying it's news that people should exercise, it's that they need to exercise more than previously thought. your blog is so misleading...like the time you said you paid for DQ when you didn't.
b. that other story IS funny, but let's remind people that you have two roommates and only one of them felt defenseless enough in his invalid state to call the cops and it wasn't me.
