Some good news from the headlines today!
Being a Friday, I had some time this morning to sit down with my coffee and read more of the paper than just the comics (which are by far the most important bit). Read some intersting things, and thought I'd share.
Coffee is actually good for you:

Sun is good for you, too (but you're still not allowed to get a tan!)

Very useful for getting out of sticky situations:

And lastly, a cool preview of the earth in 1K years, including the projected endurance of man-made structures. (Mount Rushmore might stick around, but Lady Liberty is unlikely to age as well.)

Yes, it's a little science-centric, but what did you really expect from me?

I was interested you think its OK to go walk out in the sun - I've read recently (no reference - sorry) that the more sun you get the less the chance of getting cancer overall. Get too much and the chance of skin cancer goes well up; but the chance of everyother kind of cancer goes way down. Vit-D is just one effect of letting the skin get to you; there may be many more we aren't aware of yet; I think the best approch is just don't do it too excess!!!
I'm going out in the sun; I'll even like to get a tan; just a light tan - I think it looks healthy too. I'll come back if I stumble into the refence again.
The words "everything in moderation" strike a true sound to me as scientists prove bread is bad for you - bread is good for you and the new wonderfood... (repeat over and over changing name of food).
