Muffin Tops Can Cause Nerve Damage

So now here’s a medical reason why you shouldn’t muffin top – it can cause nerve damage. Well, the tight jeans creating the muffin top, not the unsightly damage muffin tops inflict on viewers’ eyes.

Wearing tight jeans can cause the medical condition, meralgia paresthetica, where you feel prickly or even burning sensations in nerves in your legs

The fix? Get bigger jeans. 🙂

Anecdotes from Gillette

,

Gillette.com has an interesting and humorous take at body shaving. Here are some of the sayings:

  • If your grass is patchy, mow the lawn. (Head)
  • A sweater should be bought not grown. (Chest)
  • Wall to wall carpet is okay, shoulder to shoulder isn’t. (Back)
  • An empty stable smells better than a full one. (Armpits)
  • Trees look taller when there’s no underbrush. (Groin)

Adam Lambert for the Twilight Saga Soundtrack!

, ,

Even though Adam Lambert was denied the title of American Idol, I think he’d make a perfect fit on one of the soundtracks of the Twilight saga! The singer is definitely Team Edward and can even be a vamp stand in if needed.

Adam’s rendition of Mad World is his Twilight audition.

Mad World has had an interesting past. I didn’t know Tears for Fears originally wrote and performed the song. It’s definitely changed (for the better I think). Take a listen.

I first encountered this song in 2006 from the Gears of War game commercial. After some research, I found the song was redone for the Donnie Darko soundtrack.

And now Adam imparts his personality on this haunting song.
