Drinking Tea Is Better

As a heavy tea-drinker I'm very pleased with this article Drinking Tea Is Better For Health Than Plain Water. And the result of tea hydrating as well as water is quite the mythbuster, no?

The results was published in European Journal of Clinical Nutrition - a peer-reviewed journal that covers all aspects of human nutrition.

This guy Leroy Wells auditions American Idol. He pretty much excells the art of incomprehensibility.

Djosos Krost

The Danish dub duo Djosos Krost is the music I will play the next time a foreigner asks me what bands we have in Denmark. Buy the full album if your into dub. You won't regret it.

For 1 letter ?, for at string of letters * e.g. "fore?t" or "fo*st" but finds the word "forest", as well as other matches.

Bukowski


Oh, yes

there are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realize this
and most often
when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than
too late.


Charles Bukowski



This poem is one of the Charles Bukowski poems recited in the excellent documentary Charles Bukowski - Born Into This. My recommendations.

6 Years In the Life of a Guy Called Noah

This guy Noah took a photo of himself everyday for some 6 years and edited the pictures as a high speed slideshow. I think the combination of the steady look in his eyes, his slowly changing face, the high speed environment changes and the excellent original piano soundtrack is very expressive. Turn up your speakers.
