realizing it’s Monday morning

It’s Monday morning.  The weekend is now over.  It’s five more days until the next weekend, which means most of us have to work five full days in a row.

You are coming to a sad realization.  Cancel or allow?

What would you like to pee on?

fly in urinal
How’s that for a title?  🙂

Obviously, this is a question for the guys.  There’s a place in Amsterdam that etched the image of a fly inside the urinals in its bathrooms, to make guys aim at it.  And they’ve said it really helps.  (Click on the picture for more info on that.)

Obviously a fly is not the only option for the picture.  So what other images would be good to put inside a toilet or urinal?

Can Cheetos cure headaches?

We got an e-mail from Thomas Wayne today, who has a question for our readers here.  Since there are several doctor-esque people that comment here, we decided to oblige his request.

This morning I had a headache.  I tried resting some during lunch, and dozed off for a few minutes, but my head still hurt some.  So I decided to eat.  Today’s menu consisted of a sandwich — not too exciting, right?  But there was a new bag of Cheetos in the cabinet, which I grabbed.  I opened the bag and smelled the cheesy goodness, then proceeded to eat some.  While eating, I felt better, not just from being happy because Cheetos are scrumptious, but my head wasn’t hurting as much.  So I wondered if I should just keep eating Cheetos until my head didn’t hurt anymore.  I ate quite a few Cheetos, and then my head hardly hurt at all.

Could I have stumbled onto a new cure for headaches?  Does anybody have any research or theories or hypotheses that might back this up?

Any thoughts?

a better way to handle Daylight Savings Time

This year Daylight Savings Time started earlier in the year than normal, which you now know.  But it cost me an hour of sleep, which I don’t particularly care for at all.  I know it’s traditional to have it on Sunday morning, but I have no problem with upsetting the status quo in this case.

Here’s my new suggestion for it, which will make everyone happier : have the time skip ahead an hour on Monday morning.  When we get to work at 8:00, let the time jump to 9:00, with the lost hour being lost, as it is now.  Then people will actually look forward to Daylight Savings Time, instead of dreading the lost hour of sleep as they do now.

I realize this would not be ideal for the fall, when we gain the hour back.  So let’s leave it like it is, where we get an extra hour of sleep.  Sleep is important, you know, and most people don’t get enough.  So let’s quit losing sleep for this time-shifting event in the spring, while continuing to gain the extra hour of sleep in the fall.

Let’s put this to a vote in our country.  I think most Americans would go for this.  So let’s let the majority decide.
