It is well-meaning but not good enough to sit and complain about others' unhealthy behavior.<br /><br />People who are able to concentrate on books for an hour or so should be deemed especially suspicious in light of this new reasoning. Hell, even 30 minutes. I mean, people watching TV usually get up more frequently for commercial breaks.<br /><br />Where do I pick up my grant check?Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-1289168412327990792010-09-21T13:57:07.597+01:002010-09-21T13:57:07.597+01:00I was going to make the Strength Through Joy point...I was going to make the Strength Through Joy point but I see Mark Wadsworth got there way ahead of me.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-50640593863354895772010-09-21T00:23:41.203+01:002010-09-21T00:23:41.203+01:00well, it suppose to be in 3D, can I download and w...well, it suppose to be in 3D, can I download and watch? will it show normally?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-60618076538198204462010-09-20T11:49:57.556+01:002010-09-20T11:49:57.556+01:00A very good point Chris Oakley.

The seat section is designed <i>a là</i> trap door which collapses at regular random intervals, allowing “the sitter” to fall to the floor. The energy required in picking oneself off the floor, the constant alertness, and the belly laughs from seeing family/colleagues undergoing “the treatment” can only be beneficial for State Health. The health effect is only enhanced during busy, working to deadline periods.<br /><br /><i>"Please take a seat"</i> will never be the same again.Anon1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-76641066418495010802010-09-18T23:34:02.302+01:002010-09-18T23:34:02.302+01:00Interesting to read the comment on the bmj blog by...Interesting to read the comment on the bmj blog by James 'Hurricane Force Winds' Repace (for it is he), Chris.<br /><br />I think his obvious hubris will be his utimate downfall, but in the meantime his post provides us with a useful insight into the dark and terrifying place that is the anti-smoker's mind.BrianBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-1323152227554647512010-09-18T21:48:33.999+01:002010-09-18T21:48:33.999+01:00jredheadgirl,
