Why You Shouldn't Give Retailers Your ZIP Code
"May I have your ZIP code, please?" You may think it's necessary to complete the transaction or it may seem like a harmless piece of information to give out, so you go ahead and reveal it. But that simple decision can result in more junk mail heading your way and more telemarketers disrupting your day, said Paul Stephens, director of policy and advocacy for Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a nonprofit watchdog group based in San Diego, Calif.
Great, more retail sneakiness!

25,000 U.S. Deaths Linked to Sugary Drinks
Using data from national health surveys around the world, the team tied sugar-sweetened beverages to 133,000 deaths from diabetes, 44,000 deaths from cardiovascular diseases and 6,000 deaths from cancer in 2010.
Even though this article says these people died of chronic diseases, they drank soda so that MUST be the culprit. Seriously? I'm fat but I don't drink soda so I think their study is poppycock!

Giant Snails Are Taking Over the World
Known as giant east African snails, the invasive species has recently been discovered infiltrating Florida, nations in both Central and South America, and, most recently, Australia. The specimens are rather terrifying, seeing as how they can grow up to a foot long, weigh in at over two pounds, are capable of eating over 500 different species, can lay 1,200 eggs a year, and have few natural enemies in their new habitats. Oh, and they can also transmit life-threatening meningitis to humans. I have to admit that I too would be a little freaked out if I saw a snail this big in my garden.
And today is the FIRST DAY OF SPRING! Last year on this day it was 83 out. The average is 53. What is it today your wondering? 29. Let me say it again...today is the FIRST DAY OF SPRING! Harumph. But...the sun is shinning and the skies are blue so every little thing's gonna be alright.
