An animated map of Americans getting fatter over the past 15 years. The heart of the fat seems to be right here in the South East. I guess pulled pork and fried everything isn't as healthy as I thought.
I'd like to see this overlayed with voter information. Perhaps there's a growing segment of the populace which just eats wht its fed, no matter what that is. Obesity in America - MSN Health & Fitness |

The sick children are Bedouin. Until recently their ancestors were nomads who roamed the deserts of the Middle East and, as tradition dictated, often married cousins. Marrying within the family helped strengthen bonds among extended families struggling to survive the desert. But after centuries this custom of intermarriage has had devastating genetic effects.
Sounds like the things from the new hills have eyes are forming in the middle east. If they keep breeding them like this, I wonder if they'd turn into some sort of eyeless beast wandering the desert in a few more centuries. A Hunt for Genes That Betrayed a Desert People - New York Times |

Maybe they REALLY didn't want the guy crashing in their barns, so they just built the pain in the ass a house. RE: 100 Amish rebuild destroyed house in 24 hours |
