White House Speech That Luckily Was Not Needed

This is an eerie memo that was prepared by Richard Nixon's speech writer just in case the Apollo 11 Astronauts were not able to leave the moon once they landed.

"Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace
will stay on the moon to rest in peace.

These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no
hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in
their sacrifice."

Vegan Until Six

Mark Bittman, food writer for the NY Times, was told by his doctor that he was 35 pounds over weight, developing high cholesterol, had borderline high blood sugar, bad knees and sleep apnea. Bittman was told that a good option for him would be to go vegan. A food critic and lover of all five food groups, knew that would not work for him. He did the next best thing, go vegan until 6PM. A few months of sticking to a strict vegan diet before 6PM and then eating anything he wants for dinner he had lost the weight and dropped to normal levels on all of the docters tests. Interesting idea, forces you to eat fruits, veggies, and whole grains and you still get to splurge for dinner...nice
