Scotland is the 2nd most obese developed nation in the world

Deep Fried Haggis?

"Since 1995, obesity in the adult population has increased by 46%. There have been marked increases in men aged 35-64 and in women aged 35-44, while one in five children in primary seven were estimated to be obese in 2004/05. The cost of treating obesity-related disease was estimated at £171m in 2001. Sweets & fizzy drinks will be removed from schools and chips." -The Beeb

Lewis Hamilton wins Japanese Grand Prix

--One Step Closer to World Formula One Title
We've got a hero-in-the-making! And by we I mean the British. 22-year-old Lewis Hamilton from Stevenage, Hertfordshire is just 2 races away (and possibly even just one race) from becoming the first Briton since Damon Hill (in 1996) to win the Formula One Title. It's only his first season in the Formula One and he's owned the track! Now that's something, spying-scandal or no spying-scandal!

--Hamilton wants Alonso out of the team
Meanwhile, the McLaren troubles continue as Hamilton goes public and makes it clear he cannot work with teammate Fernando Alonso next season: "I don't know who else would slip in here, but I'd much rather it were Fernando at Ferrari and me at McLaren." -Hamilton

How Many People Have Ever Lived on Earth?

Between 45 billion & 125 billion - and even that's a guess!

"Any estimate of the total number of people who have ever been born will depend basically on two factors: (1) the length of time humans are thought to have been on Earth and (2) the average size of the human population at different periods. Our estimate here is that about 5.8% (6.2 billion out of 106.5 billion in 2002) of all people ever born are alive today." -Carl Haub

My First Apple Product

Last week, my mum spent a couple days here on her way from San Fran to Oman. While in Cali she got me the new 6th generation iPod Classic 80GB Video MP3 player. I feel like I belong now! (Sorry Sony, it's the end of an era...)
