Contrary to what everyone – even potheads – think about marijuana, a new study shows that the drug has “minimal” effects on the brain. Conducted by a team of investigators from the United Kingdom, Spain, Brazil, Switzerland and Australia, the “systematic literature review”, recently published online by Psychological Medicine, combines 41 different studies from around the world of marijuana’s effect on brain function. And after thorough review, the researches concluded that its effects are nearly nonexistent. (more…)

A new report has linked alcohol consumption to one in 25 of all deaths worldwide. The study, conducted by a team from the University of Toronto, found that the average amount of alcohol consumed worldwide is 12 drinks-per-week. In the United States, that number jumps up to 17-per-week, whereas in the Middle East (where alcohol is widely banned) that number drops to 1.3. But Europe takes the award for biggest lushes, with a whopping 21.5 drinks-per-week. (more…)

Once the Washington Capitals completed a thrilling series comeback win over the New York Rangers from down three games to one, the heads of the league watched the final period of the Carolina Hurricanes vs. New Jersey Devils Game 7 anxiously, hoping Carolina could rally to force a marquee ‘best case scenario‘ matchup in the second round – Sidney “The Next One” Crosby vs. Alex “The Great” Ovechkin.

I’m sure putting together a news show isn’t easy. And sometimes people make mistakes. But how on earth you confuse a murder suspect with something this furry, I will never know.

News anchors Robert Jordan and Jackie Bange have been together for a long time. And when you’re together for a long time, you end up making up silly sh*t like this. But our guess not all anchors do this during their commercial breaks. Bill O’Reilly probably kills a kitten and sucks out it’s blood, just so he can continue through the next segment.

I have watched this one 30 plus times and am still laughing my ass off. Instant classic.

Props to GorillaMask for uncovering this little gem.

If so, I can’t find it.

So Obama is done giving his speech, and I am flipping between MSNBC with Chris Matthews/Keith Oberman and FOX.

If Matthews and Oberman were any more up Obama’s ass – they would have been covered in sh*t. FOX on the otherhand, might has well have been burning pictures of Obama and were tearing apart every vocal inflection he made.

What ever happened to impartial news reporting? I remember growing up and feeling that I could believe anything the news people reported, because there was this integrity of impartial news reporting. Those days are gone.

If you were to flip, as I am right now, you would think the reporters watched 2 completely different speeches. You can’t argue the fact that Obama is a great public speaker, but why not simply highlight the points he made? No, of course not. Everyone needs to give their 2 cents as to what they took away from him.

But Keith Oberman? Really? Dude, you were on SportsCenter…please stop. Tell me what you think about Favre moving to the Jets, don’t interpret political language and positioning.

That was exhausting just to watch.

…Bringing the total number of reasons to 6 trillion. I’m not sure if this actually counts as ‘news’ to people with common sense, but it seems as though someone has finally decided to do a little research on exactly how much harm discarded cigarette butts are doing to the environment. It turns out, a lot! Who would’ve thought, a deadly, chemical laden stick thats bad for you and Mother Earth? (more…)
