End of Year Flickr

I've added some pictures from the past couple of months to my flickr account. Check out the November & December albums for all of them. There are plenty of odd punting shots. They look awkward.

Wii Blamed for Ridiculous Injuries

Up to ten people a week are being hospitalized with injuries caused by playing Nintendo Wii games, prompting doctors in Britain to issue warnings of the dangers associated with the video game system.

"There has been a 100% increase in patients complaining of Wii-itis," Dr. Dev Mukerjee of Broomfield Hospital, Essex, told The Sun newspaper. Most patients are admitted after playing tennis or running games which involve sudden movements, resulting in tendon stretching or tearing.

"It's possible Wii-itis may lead to rheumatism or arthritis later in life. Patients often have inflamation of the shoulder or wrist," said Dr. Mukerjee. Another common injury is dubbed Wii-knee, blamed on the bending of the knee from the Wii-Fit game. This involves a special platform and a series of movements ranging from yoga to strength-training moves.

In extreme cases, the kneecap can be dislocated or pop out of joint.

Doctors treat Wii-knee with cortisone injections, icing, and anti-inflammatory painkillers. Treatment can last for three months.

So, what to do? As with any exercise program, doctors advise stretching exercises before play.

Talk about ridiculous...This video is not an old video, despite what you might think. Enjoy and laugh along.

A Week Away

I'll be out of town for the next entire week until the 19th...will be in Cleveland, OH on company related stuff. Everyone be safe and stay away from the dangerous malls or at least away from the out of control under-aged and overstimulated drivers.

Duke Down Early, loses head

Reading the headlines on ESPN is fun to kill some time. Reading a headline pointing out that Duke has already lost a game is even better. I believe the picture of little Coach K about sums up the good mood all anti-Duke fans are feeling...and it's a good one. Read the game recap on ESPN...

Simpson's Prison Sentence at Least 15 Years

Las Vegas - O.J. Simpson was sentenced today to a minimum of 15 years in prison for the gunpoint robbery and kidnapping of two sports memorabilia dealers. Simpson, 61, will not be eligible for parole for five years.

A jury on Oct. 3 convicted Simpson and Clarence "C.J" Stewart of a multitude of charges against them in the Sept. 13, 2007, confrontation with the dealers at a Las Vegas casino hotel room.

In handing down her decision, Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass said the evidence against Simpson - all of which was presented on tape to a jury - was "overwhelming."

Simpson, his voice quivering at times, apologized to the court prior to his sentencing and said his only intention that night was to retrieve personal items, family photos and sports mementos that he said had been stolen from him years earlier.

"I didn't mean to steal from everybody," Simpson said.

Beware of The Doghouse!

Check out Beware of The Doghouse. It's for those idiots that believe only jewelry can make a girl happy and even for those girls blinded by the same. The video is good for the humor from the actors, but fails to make a decent stand for guys outside of buying jewelry as the only choice of gifts. Girls who actually act this way...be ashamed.
