  • It's a psychological illusion. Just like how retail businesses always prices things at $19.99 or $19.95, so that it seems "so much" of a better deal than $20. McDonald's does it themselves... McDeal Meal for only $4.99!!! Suddenly I feel like some chicken mcnuggets.

  • I think Bruce Lee would have been competitive in sanctioned MMA about 10 years ago. Since then, fighters have become a lot more well rounded, and I don't know how versed Bruce was in grappling or if it went to the ground. Maybe he'd do better in Glory/K-1 (kick-boxing), but even then, I see the muay thai guys being more…
  • Thanks! Or (to the OP), you could just roll a joint of "cat nip" and your kitty could be in it's "happy place." Vets can prescribe anti-anxiety medications for pets... smooth out it's mood and make it more tolerant of stressors.
  • Getting a cat "declawed" isn't just having it's nails/claws removed. The vet amputates the entire first phlange/digit. Declawed cats simply learn to "bite" instead of scratching. So your little one will be bitten instead (and cat saliva is full of bacteria). Do you want your child getting a serious infection? BOTTOM LINE:…
  • I'm reading it currently. Firstly, I think there is definitely something to going gluten free, but I'm not sure if the author is being scientific in his presentation of past research findings. I do find my belly feels a lot better (and looks flatter) when I don't eat wheat products. But at the sametime, I think it's…
  • Are you stretching your neck before your workout/training session??? Sometimes if your neck muscles are tense or you are tensing them when throwing strikes (subconciously), it can result in a headache... especially in the temporal area.
  • I think Dana is trying to set up a fight between Silva and Jon Jones. I'm not a fan of "Bones", and it would make me grin to see Silva front kick Jon's teeth into the 5th row, but I think Silva will lose this fight (if it happens).
  • Male, 37, 5'11" Heaviest: 229 lbs (2011) Lightest: 168 lbs (2005) Current: 218 lbs Goal: 180 lbs The scale reading is just a number and doesn't take body composition into account. I look better today at 218 lbs then I did ten years ago at 218 lbs due to weight lifting.
  • How about when somebody wants to work in with you on a machine... changes the weight, but then doesn't have the decency to change it back when it's your turn. Not a biggie... but at least have some courtesy.
  • People who try to lift weights that are obviously too heavy for them and proceed to do them with incorrect form. The other day, this guy put a 45 lb plate on either side of a bench press bar and commenced to do bicep curls. Sure, curling 135 lbs is pretty damn impressive, but this guy was bending at the waist and using his…
