What Happens To Your Body If You Drink A Coke Right Now?

In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.
20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get it’s hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)
40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dialate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
>60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
>60 Minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.
>60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.

"Top Ten" Apple rumors "of all time"

"Top Ten" Apple rumors "of all time"

Perhaps it's because human beings like to assign markers to their perception of time, or maybe because it's a slow news week, but the final week of December invariably generates "best of" lists. The Crave blog at C|Net UK has compiled a list of Apple rumors that they feel are the most prominent, but anyone who has been watching Apple Computer for more than a few years will likely disagree.

Apple Computer to buy Nintendo
Mac OS for the PC
Return of the Newton
Apple to buy BeOS
A "secret" OS X build
iPhone
iTunes record label
"True" video iPod
30th anniversary Mac
Apple to buy Disney

While the choices are interesting, they seem to be weighted towards the post-millennial Apple Computer, and even then shouldn't the rumor that Steve Jobs was dying make the list? Going back further, where is Copland? The mythical OS occupied the minds of every Mac user from at least 1995 until the return of Steve Jobs. And while a revised Newton might be considered an iTablet, where is the perpetual rumor that is the low-cost, expandable desktop? How can you have a rumor list without an xMac?

If you were paid to write whatever popped into your head after a cup of tea in the morning, what would make your list of Apple rumors for all time?

15 Things You Didn’t Know About Your Penis

15 Things You Didn’t Know About Your Penis

1. Smoking can shorten your penis by as much as a centimeter. Erections are all about good bloodflow, and lighting up calcifies blood vessels, stifling erectile circulation. So even if you don’t care all that much about your lungs or dying young, spare the li’l guy.

2. Doctors can now grow skin for burn victims using the foreskins of circumcised infants. One foreskin can produce 23,000 square meters, which would be enough to tarp every Major League infield with human flesh.

3. An enlarged prostate gland can cause both erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. If you have an unexplained case of either, your doctor’s looking forward to checking your prostate. Even if you’re not.

4. The average male orgasm lasts 6 seconds. Women get 23 seconds. Which means if women were really interested in equality, they’d make sure we have four orgasms for every one of theirs.

5. The oldest known species with a penis is a hard-shelled sea creature called Colymbosathon ecplecticos. That’s Greek for “amazing swimmer with large penis.” Which officially supplants Buck Naked as the best porn name, ever.

6. Circumcised foreskin can be reconstructed. Movable skin on the shaft of the penis is pulled toward the tip and set in place with tape. Later, doctors apply plastic rings, caps, and weights. Years can pass until complete coverage is attained. . . . Okay, we’ll shut up now.

7. Only one man in 400 is flexible enough to give himself oral pleasure. It’s estimated, however, that all 400 have given it their best shot at some point.

8. There are two types of penises. One kind expands and lengthens when becoming erect (a grower). The other appears big most of the time, but doesn’t get much bigger after achieving erection (a shower).

9. An international Men’s Health survey reports that 79 percent of men have growers, 21 percent have showers.

Exploring Google's Hidden Features

Article Description

Google is a great search engine, but it's also more than that. Google has tons of hidden features, some of which are quite fun and most of which are extremely useful— if you know about them. How do you discover all these hidden features within the Google site? Read on to learn more.

Google Is a Calculator

When you can’t be troubled to reach over and pick up the handheld calculator sitting on your desk, you can use Google as a high-tech web-based calculator. All you have to do is enter your equation or formula into the standard Google search box, and then click the Google Search button. The result of the calculation is displayed on the search results page; it’s that simple.

You can use the standard algebraic operators to construct your calculations—+, -, x, and / for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, accordingly. For example, to add 2 plus 3, enter 2 + 3 and press Enter. To divide 10 by 2, enter 10 / 2, and so on.

And Google’s calculator isn’t limited to basic addition and multiplication. It can also handle more advanced calculations, trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions, and logarithmic functions. Just enter the proper formula into the search box, and wait for Google to display the answer.

5 Tips to Increase Your Likeability

1. Be positive.

"Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid." - John Keats

2. Control your insecurities.

"The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything." - Theodore Roosevelt

3. Provide value.

"The art of being yourself at your best is the art of unfolding your personality into the person you want to be... Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others." - Wilfred Peterson

4. Eliminate all judgments.

"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster. Your life will never be the same again." - Og Mandino

5. Become a person of conviction.

"One needs to be slow to form convictions, but once formed they must be defended against the heaviest odds." - Mahatma Gandhi

Evolution of a new born Panda

Fri, 18 May 2007 14:40:12 GMT

clipped by: zephyr1

Clip Source: news.worldwild.org

Once upon a time the female panda was pregnant and when the time came she gave birth to this little fellow….

The new born cub was so small and fragile that he seemed to be more of a cat cub than of a panda one…

Attention, good care and all the time needed were spent so that the little cub would grow healthy and beautiful…

In a week, he is already acting as a ” big ” and powerful animal, sniffing around…

At 25 days, the cub begins to look as a panda…the specific black spots have already appeared but he’s still blind…

After 30 days, the cub looks like a little pig ..

In a couple more days, we have a brand new panda cub able to eat and start to play by his own.

When he’s 85 days old, no one knows what he’s up to….

But he still is somehow funny and he sleeps just like a human baby…

Let’s blow the candle, the cub has reached 3 months old ….

Mammals evolve the same way as humans do and still, people couldn’t care less about them, about the environment and about living a healthy life…
