After having spent several more hours on the road so I can have my own bunad for my 30th birthday (in case you're wondering what it'll look like, it'll be akin to "this":http://www.husfliden.no/felles/visdetalj.asp?ID=47&Felt=URL_Bilde_Stor (warning: huge image)) I ended up passing a bit of time by participating in the "FHM Global Sex Survey 2003":http://www.fhm.co.uk/surveys/sexsurvey2003/defaulted.htm and wondering why on earth none of the Norwegian ones I've participated in featured interesting questions.
I watched an episode of "High School Reunion":http://highschoolreunion.warnerbros.com/ today. It's a reality show just like any other reality show, but it kept me wondering one thing about people in the US: are they all really desperate and think any meeting between two people of the opposite sexes is an opportunity to find a date? Ok, this may (or may not) be a representative part of the population, but come on! All they do is hang out and look for a partner. What ever happened to being friends with people?
I thought *I* was desperate, but compared to these people I'm as patient as they come. Or maybe I'm just getting good at this "love comes when you don't look for it"-thingy.
May 12th Nikken released "information":http://www.nikken.com/magsteps/ regarding the results of a scientific study by Drs Weintraub et al. The report named "Static magnetic field therapy for symptomatic diabetic neuropathy: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial":http://www2.archives-pmr.org/scripts/om.dll/serve?action=searchDB&searchDBfor=art&artType=abs&id=as0003999303001060&nav=abs points out that constant wearing of the magnetic insoles provided statistically significant reduction in the _third_ and _fourth_ months of treatement (my emphasis).
Gotta wear them a lot and for quite a while, but still interesting results.
