"I could care less"

For about a year i've seen people write "I could care less", in the context : "I could care less what you think" as in, "f... you and your opinion" Surely you should be saying "I couldn't care less" ? Saying you could care less means you DO care. Am I missing some internet joke, or...

When Bodybuilding and Steroids Go Too Far

The scary thing is, this is probably where bodybuilding will end up in the next 10-15 years. I remember reading a paper on regulating the myostatin gene in mice for research into treatment for muscle wasting deseases. I'm guessing these photos are a mock ups for humans. There was 1 boy, if i...

Anyone seen this? Fibre optic art exhibit New York "tunnel" to London.

Its done using HD cams and broadband, Tiscali are providing the service. The "art" is meant to lead you to believe there's a cable running under the atlantic. http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WO...ope.project/index.html "And the trans-Atlantic tunnel is really a trans-Atlantic broadband...

Movies everyone loves that you don't get

National Treasure - Book of secrets. If you played the indiana jones theme tune and read the davinci code to a million monkeys with typewriters, this is the screenplay they'd write. Its just far too random, and totally unbelievable. Another thing I don't get is Nicholas Cage. Nicholas cage...

YAWT- Alternative to Dips?

I was going to suggest holding a dumbell between your feet, but if you're using multiple plates, a dumbell that heavy might not be feasible. These hit your triceps hard and work the chest too. http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/PectoralSternal/DBPullover.html If you're willing to try...

What is the closest you ever came to death

I got tetanus at 17 after being bitten by a dog. For some reason I never got the booster shot you normally get when you're about 15. My dad found me having spasms at 2 in the morning and dialed 999 because i wasn't really breathing properly. I was on IV diazepam for 3 weeks and magnesium for...

Hydroxycut - anyone used the caffeine free kind?

EFA's, green tea capsules and morning cardio are staple for moving/avoiding fat. Good anti-oxidant properties too. I used lipo-6 a while back, lost an extra 2 lbs in 6 weeks, or to put it another way, i was burning about an extra 200 calories a day. Huge caffine buzz until you get used to it...

What are your thoughts on creatine?

Creatine is fine, and one of the few supplements that is prooved to work as it says on the tin. The body uses ATP for muscular contraction until it runs out, then you use glucose. While your muscles are breaking down the ATP to ADP for fuel, they're on the scavenge for more phosphates to...

Best Movie One-Liners

No. I am your father. With all things being equal, I'd rather be in Philadelphia. He's saying, sayin' "I wanna go home! I wanna go home!" He keeps calling my name! "I wanna go home, Johnny! I wanna drive my Chevy!" I said "Why? I can't find your fvckin' legs! I can't find your legs!"...

About 6 months ago my training partner decided to forgo whey protein shakes in favour of of solid foods, he was eating 1.5 lbs of tuna a day, every day for about 6 weeks. He started getting flue like symptoms, thought nothing of it, but when his pulse went irregular for a few seconds he went...

Best sad/melancholy/beautiful songs?

Glastonbury festival is in June and Pearl Jam are in europe at the time with no date booked for the festivals friday. Yellow ledbetter in front of 100,000 happy campers would be, well, religious.
