Obama pardons turkeys, but not without skewering Republicans

It's past time to put the traditional pardoning of the turkey on the chopping block, but at least Barack Obama managed to dish out cold leftovers from the election while doing his presidential duty. This year a Facebook vote decided which bird would be spared and Obama cracked, "Once again, Nate Silver completely nailed it,"  referencing the analyst whose poll science was mocked by Republicans. Even his vanquished opponent, who whined that Obama won the election with "gifts" to voters, got a jab: "In the spirit of the season, I have one more gift to give," the president said, "and it goes to a pair of turkeys." And no, they’re not Romney and Rove. [Source]

Home remedies: Great news for all Chocolate lovers :) Fact or faked?

Chocolate eases coughs

Fact or fake? Fact!
When you have a cough, chocolate not only makes the medicine go down easier but it may actually be the medicine. "Chocolate contains theobromine, which acts very effectively as a cough suppressant," says Teitelbaum. Theobromine works by suppressing the firing of the vagus nerve, which is a key feature of a chronic cough, according to a study published in The Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. Since it's found in cocoa beans, theobromine is present in all chocolate products but is higher in dark chocolate, unsweetened baking chocolate and cocoa powder than in milk chocolate. An exact amount of chocolate has yet to be determined, but 2 ounces of dark chocolate for adults and 1 ounce for children may help, says Teitelbaum.








 

Ladies slicing toes to wear heels in comfort is so hot right now

Why bother finding a pair of shoes that fit your feet when you can just surgically alter your feet to fit your shoes? A "growing number" of women are reportedly having surgery to make their high heels more comfortable, receiving special foot injections, shortening their toes — and in extreme cases — cutting off their pinky toes altogether. "Unless you've been there, and you can't find shoes, and you're in pain, don't judge," said Susan Deming, who recently underwent a toe-shortening procedure on her left foot, which had longer toes than her right. She says going under the knife was a worthy price to pay for better-fitting heels: "I've never felt this good about something I've done. If it's vain, it's vain." [Source]
