The harsh realization that occurs when I am reminded of the huge damage Katrina caused on New Orleans. Although much work has been done, there is still a humongous amount of work left to be done.
While driving through New Orleans yesterday, I saw abandoned grocery stores with the waterline still visible and the windows all boarded up with plywood. The katrinalization that ensued caused a painful pang in my midsection.

Get the katrinalization mug.The result of cost-cutting by food companies, soda companies, and fast food joints. This is not real sugar, but actually a sweetener that has been produced from corn.
Real sugar is more expensive than High Fructose Corn Syrup, and so that's why almost all soft drinks contain HFCS instead of real sugar.
And High Fructose Corn Syrup is more unhealthy for you than real sugar, and too much of it is a cause of obesity.
So when you're buying drinks that are supposed to be made out of real fruit juice from the stores, look at the ingredients. If you see High Fructose Corn Syrup, you'd be better off avoiding that product. Same goes for all other food products. You'd be amazed at the number of products with high fructose corn syrup. Look up the ingredients of all the McDonald's food and you'll be shocked by how much of it these people use in their food.

Bill: "Dude, I'm getting addicted to Pepsi. I just love this stuff. I've been drinking it at least once a day."
Suzy: "You're slowly killing yourself, pal. That stuff is just full of High Fructose Corn Syrup. Driking that every day is definitely not a good idea. I had a friend who did that and she got a nasty kidney stone, and was warned she might get diabetes. If you're drinking it every other day or something, and you're doing some exercise, it's not so bad. But every day, plus you always sit on your ass in front of the tube, uhuh, bad idea dude."
Bill: "thanks for the heads-up. I'll try to cut down on the bubbly stuff."

Get the high fructose corn syrup mug.The Typing of the Dead is the best typing game ever created. This awesome and unbelievable unique game, created by Sega and with the assistance of Smilebit(to remake the game into English), forces you to learn how to type correctly. Basically, this game is the house of the dead 2 except instead of shooting the zombies with guns you shoot them with your strapped-on keyboard. This game makes you type funny and sweet phrases like "geisha waltz", "nasal wig", "bahama mama", and "hot babes". In Japan Sega is working to release "The Typing of the Dead 2" so keep your fingers crossed for it to be ported to come to the US.
Dude 1: "Hey dude, wanna come over today and play some Xbox?"
Dude 2: "Naah, man. I'd rather play The Typing of the Dead. You get to type zombies to death."
Dude 1: "WTF are you talking about? The what of the dead?"
Dude 2: "It's the best typing tutor ever. It beats the hell out of Mavic Beacon. It's really simple: Type or Die."
Dude 1: "Fashizzle. I need to work on my typing skills myself. Let me see this game."

At the half-time show yesterday, I saw a contortionist stand on one hand, bend her legs back over her head and shoot a bow-and-arrow accurately. It was mind-boggling.

Get the contortionist mug.The ultimate speedsters highway, located in Germany. Unfortunately, in the USA the average driver is a less skillful driver than the average driver in Germany, and that's not an insult but a result of the USA's relatively easy driver's education programs and requirements. On the other hand, in Germany getting a driver's license is much harder and requires a lot more practice. So it makes sense that in the US you can't speed as much as you want except in a few isolated places like Montana or Nevada perhaps.
In Germany, the autobahn is not as dangerous as one might assume. The autobahn has many lanes, with one or two lanes dedicated as the fast, no-limit lanes, and at least one lane dedicated for the slowpokes.
Seeing that Germany produces many awesome sports cars and speed demons, like the BMW M3 and M5, the Mercedes SL lineup, and the Porsches, it comes as no surprise that the autobahn exists over there.

Get the autobahn mug.The feeling one gets after eating a large meal from McDonalds, together with a large sugary soda and all the extra condiments. It's a very nervous feeling, where your stomach feels uneasy and you have the McTwitches. It's a term coined by Morgan Spurlock in his documentary Super Size Me.
As Morgan himself says in his hit documentary, while eating a double-quarter pounder super-sized meal:
"See, now's the time of the meal when you start getting the McStomach ache. You start getting the McTummy. You get the McGurgles in there. You get the McBrick, then you get the McStomach ache. Right now I've got some McGas that's rockin'. My arms... I feel like I've got some McSweats goin'. My arms got the McTwitches going in here from all the sugar that's going in my body right now. I'm feeling a little McCrazy."
