fracas

What better way to waste spend your last few hours of 2007, than reviewing video clips from some of the best tv shows to ever have aired?

Time’s James Poniewozik has compiled his list and you can check it out at this page over at the Time site.

From The Abbot and Costello Show, All in the Family and The Odd Couple to Oprah Winfrey, 24 and The Twilight Zone, Poniewozik includes a write-up and a video clip of each. When you’ve had enough, read how he chose the list, and then have your say.

Honestly… do you really have anything more important to do for the next few days?

A recent article in The New York Times focused on findings published at BMJ.com

The seven myths featured are:

1. People should drink at least eight glasses of water a day.
2. We use only 10 percent of our brains.
3. Hair and fingernails continue to grow after death.
4. Shaving hair causes it to grow back faster, darker or coarser.
5. Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight.
6. Eating turkey makes people especially drowsy.
7. Cellphones create considerable electromagnetic interference in hospitals.

Fracas knows that despite the logical explanation for #2, there are indeed, many people out there who on a daily basis, must use only 10% of their brains.

Sometimes less even.
