I think I am allergic to food, whenever I eat a big meal, I get really tired. Or, like the Lion, who gorges himself than sleeps, maybe I get tired after dining because of my excessive aggressiveness, the extreme predator in me… Yeah, now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure it’s the hunter-killer/dominant male in me that makes me pass out after dinner, like the King Of Beasts!
We went out to dinner last night at Tim Buk Tuu, and when I got home I was tooo sleepy. So I went to bed – at 7:30 PM… (the Wife said WTF?) And now it’s a little after 3AM and here I am! Wide awake.
C’est la vie

Found this on the internet, couldn’t resist! Such a deal! Ohhh the savings!

Here it’s quite windy. We have a Nor’ Wester. The wind is from the North.
This is not Hurricane Tomas, this is what made Tomas take it’s drastic curve away from us.

I’m trying to get this to work.

Presenting a new scale of drug harm that rates the damage to users themselves and to wider society, the scientists rated alcohol the most harmful overall and almost three times as harmful as cocaine or tobacco.

According to the scale, devised by a group of scientists including Britain’s Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs (ISCD) and an expert adviser to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), heroin and crack cocaine rank as the second and third most harmful drugs.

Professor David Nutt, chairman of the ISCD, whose work was published in the Lancet medical journal, said the findings showed that “aggressively targeting alcohol harms is a valid and necessary public health strategy”. He said they also showed that current drug classification systems had little relation to the evidence of harm.

Nutt was forced to quit the ACMD a year ago after publicly criticising ministers for ignoring scientific advice suggesting cannabis was less harmful than alcohol.

The World Health Organisation estimates that risks linked to alcohol cause 2.5 million deaths a year from heart and liver disease, road accidents, suicides and cancer — accounting for 3.8 percent of all deaths.

It is the third leading risk factor for premature death and disabilities worldwide.

Among some of the other drugs assessed were crystal meth (33), cocaine (27), tobacco (26), amphetamine or speed (23), cannabis (20), benzodiazepines, such as Valium (15), ketamine (15), methadone (14), mephedrone (13), ecstasy (9), anabolic steroids (9), LSD (7) and magic mushrooms (5).
