“Beer does less damage than wine according to a study in Alcohol and Alcoholism.

Researchers found that the hippocampus-the part of the brain that stores memories - was 10% smaller in beer drinkers than those who stuck to wine. “

Is it me, or do these sentences sound contradictory?

So, if you’re a fat, drunk vegetarian you’re brain has shrunk about 40%.

Yes, that explains a LOT.

I was going to post this exact article, and much the same comment, when the FR servers went all flaky.

So was I....

I wasn't going to.

 Anybody else not going to post this and comment?

One of my friends dates a vegetarian. They joined us for dinner and a few drinks last night.

She is a nutcase that is supporting Obama. She said to me that Sarah Palin is a nazi.

Anyway, this just further supports the article about the brain shrinkage.

And is there an alcoholic beverage that makes other organs larger...?

Both beer and wine make you think other organs are larger!

I know canned veggies are definitely not good for you on a consistant basis. The Sodium content is outrageous. Of course, it’s a preservative but still not good.

They also make the female kind seem smaller as well.

They're only contradictory to those who aren't drinking.

B.S.

Vishwanathan Anand, current World Chess Champion, vegetarian since birth.

Srinivasa Ramanujan, arguably one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, vegetarian all his life. If an exception breaks the rule, the rule is broken

WTF? Beer does less damage than wine according to a study in Alcohol and Alcoholism. Researchers found that the hippocampus-the part of the brain that stores memories - was 10% smaller in beer drinkers than those who stuck to wine. Lazy writer.

That had me scratching my head, too.

BTW.. Happy FReeping Anniversary!

P.S. Your SN is my bad luck song!
