This has been dubbed “The Most IMPORTANT Video You’ll Ever See.” Considering I have not seen all videos, that title immediately sends up red flags, and when I received the URL, I almost didn’t bother with it. Anyone who knows me also knows that I always look for truth, and visit Snopes frequently.
This video is about a fundamental arithmetical concept that should be taught early on in school. Beyond the frightful conclusions and facts there is a much deeper message here. Learn to think, and question the veracity of what figures really mean.
A recent experiment suggests that it may be possible to jiggle off excess body fat. Known as vibration technology, researchers at Stony Brook University in New York worked with mice five days a week for 15 weeks. The vibrating mice had 27% less torso fat than similar non-vibrating mice at the end of the experiment.
The mice were placed on a platform that created almost more of a buzz than a vibration, vibrating at 90 times per second. Further work is being done to see what effect if might have on humans. I assume the platforms will be much larger for people, especially those with an ass like a two-dollar war mule.
Naturally, my sick mind runs wild as I consider this, yet another way to lose the lard. I like the idea of vibration anyway, and I wonder, could this be combined with sex? Gyrating wildly about on a vibrating platform, arms flailing, would without a doubt burn calories. As I picture this, I may have seen something similar on an infomercial late one night.
But, as I think of it, vibrating chairs and beds have been around for ages. Do I smell a comeback for these? I hope so. A nice walk is OK, but there is something about vibrating that conjures up fond memories.
