Does drinking alcohol shrink your brain?  - CNN.com
17 hours ago - via Mento - Link
"People who drink alcohol -- even the moderate amounts that help prevent heart disease -- have a smaller brain volume than those who do not, according to a study in the Archives of Neurology." - Chris Messina via Mento
I'd drink to that. - Baard Overgaard Hansen
awesome: meet my super-mobile brain… hic(up) - Vincent van Wylick
i have found it can shrink some other parts sometimes as well :) - (jeff)isageek
Me lose brain? Hahahahahaha. Why me laugh? - K Welch
Even if this is true, I'd rather have a slightly smaller brain and enjoy delicious grown up beverages than to have a larger brain with which to contemplate how good a delicious grown up beverage might taste. Don't forget, we're all going to die - living a life of deprivation because it *might* bring that day sooner than otherwise is a foolish pursuit, IMO. :) - Brett Kelly
It's been over a decade since I quit drinking booze. Has my brain grown? All my hats still fit. :( - Jack Carlson
function is the matter not size - Arash
Men were more likely to be heavy drinkers than women. But the link between brain volume and alcohol wasn't as strong in men. For men, only those who were heavy drinkers had a smaller brain volume than those who consumed little or no alcohol. In women, even moderate drinkers had a smaller brain volume than abstainers or former drinkers - Arash
@arash: maybe men started out with smaller brains from the get-go and had less to shrink? - Chris Messina

World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So how come this is called the *World* Series when it's against 2 *American* teams who have won their respective leagues? I only looked it up when I saw this article: http://www.latimes.com/sports/... - Kol Tregaskes via Bookmarklet
Well... there is ONE Canadian team in MLB... (Hey, I just don't follow baseball!) - Heather Sillypants Mina
that is a good question. - (jeff)isageek
The American teams are just that good I guess. I mean, has there ever been a year where an American team DIDN'T win the World Series? - James Ferguson
The Toronto (in Canada btw) Blue Jays won 2 in the early nineties - Brian Sullivan
Wouldn't the Domincan Republic whoop the States if you actually had a proper World Cup, like football? - Toby Graham
But are other clubs from other countries even invited or have the ability to get into the World Series? If not, it seems pointless calling it the *World* Series if the world doesn't have the opportunity to get into the competition. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes via NoiseRiver

this small tweak appears to be new, right?
17 hours ago - Link
yeah, just noticed. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
i take it to mean most people use best of day, rather than week and month, which takes an extra click to get to - MG Siegler
i know that is true of me - MG Siegler
Most likely. I tend to use the Week function so I can get ideas on Fridays for a decent weekend editorial. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Wicked and just checked and for me the best of the day is an image I uploaded ha! - Joe Dawson
but where is the link for chronological order of items? - Vishal M
I wish friendfeed had some sort of analytics to see how many people view your feed and what links they click on the most - Kyle Weller
nice little tweak i would say - (jeff)isageek
cool! - Susan Beebe
i think this is awesome too but it's pretty sad that we're getting so damn excited over it..lets face it :) - Zee from WeDoCreative
This would open it up to other options... hmmm... 'Best of Day with Search Term'? - John Worthington
i like! - Sarah Perez
Seems retrogressive to me -- why do I need two clicks (and in a somewhat illogical order) to get to best of week, month when I only needed one before? - Brian Sullivan
Yes I likey... - Clay Newton
Brian: when you were in Best of view, there was no cue to get back to the standard view, or that you were in a special view. This now has that cue. The space of the standard view cue had to be made up somehow, and I'm sure they have statistics to show that best of day view is the most used best of view. - Mark Trapp
Mark: --when in standard view there is no way to know how to get to best of week or month (whereas before that was easy). I am sure you are right that the best of day is the most used but still seems retrogressive - Brian Sullivan
Brian: with best of month, they completely removed it during the first beta of the new design, which leads me to believe that either a) people really don't use it or b) they really don't want people to use it. In either case, it wouldn't be a loss for people to not find best of month immediately. With the best of week, there may be statistics to show that it's used very rarely or something like that. - Mark Trapp
Brian, as a user who basically never used this feature, it seems like a nice uncluttering compromise to not show all "best of" options in the beginning. Just a "View best of" link might work too, with the other links only appearing once you clicked it... - Philipp Lenssen
Now i know why this changes - to make room for real-time! - MG Siegler
This, much like aluminum bats and steroids, is a game changer. - qthrul

I have a copy of this movie. It's nearly unwatchable--even in an MST3K kind of way. It's just the worst thing ever--make "Manos" look like "Citizen Kane". I showed it to a Turkish friend of mine and he busted out laughing as soon as he saw the title. Apparently the movie is infamously bad even in Turkey. O_O - thepete

"The 200-foot-long toy rabbit lies on the side of the 5,000 foot high Colletto Fava mountain in northern Italy's Piedmont region. The pink rabbit was knitted by Gelitin, the Viennese art collective, as an outdoor sculpture for people to climb on, sleep on, and generally play with. It is made of soft, waterproof, materials and is stuffed with straw." - RAPatton via Bookmarklet

I'm not sure those are real clouds. The rest of the buildings around Burj Dubai don't reach the clouds; at least not THAT many. And clouds aren't that thick in Dubai. Clouds are actually a rare sight. Could be fog which gets thick at times. Could also be PSed. - Mo J.
