Someone at the NY Times Rules
Today they had an article with this beautiful title:
Couch Mouse to Mr. Mighty by Pills Alone
The article is about some pill they’re developing that makes exercise fun, or something. I didn’t read it. After that incredible title, anything would have been a disappointment. I am declaring right now that if I ever start a band, we will be called Pills Alone, and our first album will be entitled Couch Mouse to Mr. Mighty.
Also, Matt sent me a disturbing article about Internet trolls who get their rocks off writing mean comments on message boards. Check out the picture at the top of the article … isn’t this pretty much EXACTLY what you imagined one of these people would look like?

The actual story is better than making exercise fun. If the hyperbole not really born out by the research that these stories is peddling somehow proves true, exercise won’t be necessary; we’ll be able to trick our muscles into thinking we’ve exercised already, so they grow without that troublesome working out. The Americans of the future will be both obese AND ripped!

Ya know, I’m suspect that science will ever be able to defeat the simple “exercise + eat right = healthy” equation. What they need to do is figure out how to grow my hair back. That can’t be accomplished by joining a gym.
