To those of you too young to know that name, He was the Marlboro smoking marathon runner and author who popularized the sport of running; his 1977 bestseller The Complete Book of Running, is credited with helping start America's fitness revolution. He died of a heart attack while running in 1984. RE: CNN.com - PowerBar founder Maxwell dies of a heart attack - Mar 20, 2004 |

"The basics of the Nietzschean regimen are simple," Hollingdale wrote in the book's foreword. "The dieter exercises a painful amount of self-honesty in order to identify the primary object of his or her deepest human dread as personified by a wide-ranging group of foodstuffs. Once the dieter's Fear has been identified, he eats that food exclusively, in unlimited amounts, until the food no longer appetizes or frightens him. Having completed his gorge and transcended his fear, the dieter fasts for 20 days on water and Simple Salad. The dieter also engages in moderate metaphysical exercise, drinks eight brimming bowls of water every day, and 'opens the Gates of Dread and Fiber that remain closed to him in his Mundane Life' by taking fiber supplements." Too damn funny! Brings back nightmares of freshman philosophy seminars... Onion: New Nietzschean Diet Lets You Eat Whatever You Fear Most |

Burlington, VT - Howard Dean dropped out of the Democratic presidential race on Wednesday, and declared himself King of the new nation of Vermontia.
The people have spoken, said Dean, damn them! He added, The dismal performance of my campaign proves the American people are not ready for democracy. Clearly we need a monarchy. He stated that Vermont is leaving the US to become Vermontia, and he would rule as King Howard I. Bahahahaha! ROFLMAO. BB Spot & Onion.com should be required reading.

It is good to see the military engaged in humanitarian missions from time to time. MOSCOW, Russia -- Russian troops have retrieved 10 tons of beer trapped under Siberian ice, the Itar-Tass news agency has reported. The truck carrying the beer sank when trying to cross the frozen Irtysh river, near the Siberian city of Omsk, around 2,200 km (1,400 miles) from Moscow. The driver and his partner managed to escape, leaving the beer-laden truck. The rescue team of six divers, 10 workers and a modified T-72 tank from the Emergencies Ministry managed to save the load after a week-long operation. CNN | Army deployed in beer rescue |
