I'm sure a lot of people have heard about this but it is new to me and I did a search and didn't see anything so I figure I would post.

| Weening off of caffeine - bpfergu on 4/10/13 at 12:32 pm
I really need to cut back on my caffeine/energy drink intake. On a given day I'll probably drink 2-3 cups of coffee and a full 16oz can of Monster.
How difficult will it be and how long will it take for me to get over the effects of going cold-turkey on all of this stuff? I'm expecting some h...

| Why is American Football so popular in the United States? - bpfergu on 3/7/13 at 7:58 pm
I guess this is sort of SEC-related.
If you look at the rest of the world, the most popular sports primarily consist of soccer, cricket, basketball, and a few others sprinkled here and there. However, in the United States it is american football.
The typical "american" sports are baseball and...

I say "cure" because you can't really cure cancer. Rather contain it and control it indefinitely.
I also say "most major" cancers because I know many different cancers react differently to many approaches, and there are a plethora of rarer cancers that haven't or probably won't have the necessar...
