This was a pretty neat story until now, the owners of the building where the doctor’s lease space now claims the meteorite belongs to them and is making plans to recoup the rock from the Smithsonian. In case you missed the original post here’s the link and there’s a couple videos that tell the...

I am actually glad I ran across this as my scanner is acting up and looking at buying another big flatbed monster to sit in my office was something I was really giving some though too. I read through the review here and looked at the website and over all it looks pretty neat. Anyone who has...

As this article states, they didn’t evaluate women, but think it would work for us too. We get some exercise from sex and the study also said men who are in a supportive relationship live longer when having a regular partner. Your doctor may now be inquiring about your schedule here...
