September 20 -A study conducted by UCLA’s Department of Psychiatry has revealed the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle.

For Example: If she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features. However, if she is menstruating, or menopausal, she tends to prefer a man with scissors lodged in his temple and a bat jammed up his ass while he is on fire.

Further studies in the area have been canceled..

September 16 - A cure for ADHD has been discovered.  Take a look at the video for more details.

August 23 – CTV reports that 6 out of 10 adults in Saskatchewan are overweight and 32% are obese, well worse than the national average of 23% and thinner than only Newfoundland.  Hopefully this confirms our belief that most girls at the bar here are not thin enough to wear those skin tight shirts.  With that, we should be more active for our health.

April 27 – Some food for thought,

According to CTV ‘substance abuse of Alcohol, Tobacco and Illicit Drugs costs the Canadian economy [almost] $40 billion a year[based on 2002 data]‘ in health care, lost wages, prosecution and jailing etc! One suggestion to cut down on this cost [not from CTV, but an independent source] was to start going home with people from the bar while still sober – it’s for the good of our country, and everyone can save themselves some money too.

April 19 -A comparision of the culture between Saskatoon and Stockholm, Sweden was recently done. The results have been made public in the form a powerpoint slideshow.

February 2An astute observer recently brought it to our attention that there really is such a thing as Usher Syndrome. It is characterized by, among other things, Mental Retardation, Psychoses and Male Infertility. This is not to be confused with North End Syndrome (aka. Martin/Scott/Thom syndrome), which is pretty much restricted to driving a crappy car and starting fights at the bar. More information can be found by typing “Usher Syndrome” into Google.
