WATER_WATER_WATER

Eat for the health of it.

I know I just did an article on drinking or not drinking all that water but I found this article, apparently it was sent to me awhile back and I felt it was interesting.

#1 75% of Americans are dehydrated.
#2 37% of Americans confuse thirst as hunger.
#3 Mild dehydration will slow your metabolism.
#4 One glass of water will stop midnight hunger pangs.
#5 Lact of water causes fatigue during the day.
#6 Research indicates that drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day could ease back and joint pain.
#7 A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger memory loss, problems with math, and difficulting focusing on the screen or a printed page.
#8 Drinking 5 glasses of water decreases the risk of colon cancer, slashes the risk of breast cancer and be less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking enough water? I hope I can count tea and coffee. I do not drink soda and after reading this maybe you won't either.
#1 In many states the highway patrol carries 2 gallons of Coke in their car to remove blood from the highway after an accident.
#2 You can put a T-bone steak in a glass of Coke and it will be gone in 2 days.
#3 I have to remember this one, you can clean your toilet bowl by dumping in a can of Coke and let it set for 1 hour, then flush.
#4 You can remove rust from your car bumper by taking a piece of rumpled-up aluminum foil dipped in Coca-cola and rub it on the spots.
#5 Clean your battery cables by simply pouring a can of Coca-cola on the terminals and let it bubble away the corrosion.
#6 To loosen a rusty bolt, soak a rag in coca-cola and lay it on the bolt for several minutes and wala!!
#7 To bake a moist ham: empty a can of coca-cola into a baking pan, wrap the ham in foil and bake. Remove the foil 30 minutes before ham is done. Allow the drippings to mix with the coke for a scrumptious gravy. I would not be able to do this because of the HFCS or Aspartame in the diet coke.
#8 Get this: remove grease from work clothes by adding a can of coke to the laundry along with the soap. The coke will loosen the grease.

For your information:
#1 Coke is made from phosphoric acid: It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.Phosphoric acid leaches calcium from the bones and is the major contributor to osteoporosis.
#2 Get this! The commercial truck drivers that carry the syrup for Coca-Cola must use a hazardous Material place card reserved for highly corosive materials.
#3 The distributors for Coke have been using Coke to clean their truck engines for 20 years! Now, would you like a glass of water??????? or a glass of Coke????
You know, I think I am pretty happy I can't drink soda.

Laughter is healthy: Last Rites,

Father O'Malley rose early one morning. And as he looked out his bedroom window he noticed a Jackass lying dead on his front lawn. He called the local Ranger's station.
The conversation went like this: "Good morning. This is Sargent Flaherty. How are you today?"
"Ahhh the best of the day to yerself. This is father O'Malley at St. Brigid's. There's a jackass lying dead on me front lawn. Would ye be so kind as to send a couple o' yer lads to take care of the matter?"
Sergent Flaherty, considering himself to be quite a wit, replied with a smirk, "Well now father, it was always my impression that you people took care of the last rites!"
There was dead silence on the line for a brief moment. Father O'Malley then replied,"Aye, that's certainly true, but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin."
