neat-o!

THIS link from yahoo is the most ridiculous thing i've ever read

first, there's this ridiculous picture in the article that was probably taken in 1956

and then these "cool" tips:

Dance around while getting dressed: Turn up the radio or listen to upbeat music on your iPod (if you can) while doing all your morning rituals—an hour of hip shakin’ can burn about 55 calories.

first of all, what does "listen to upbeat music on your iPod (if you can)" even mean...i was previously unaware that some people are only able to listen to non-upbeat (downbeat...?) music.
and "an hour of hip shakin' can burn about 55 calories"....i have never heard of anyone who takes an hour to get dressed in the morning. but maybe listening to upbeat (not downbeat) makes the whole process of getting dressed so enjoyable you can't help but spend an hour "shakin' your hips"

bottom line: you're weird, yahoo article!
(yeah i realize that article was probably for women....deal with it)
