Who knew? I think you'll like the following: the final word on nutrition and health.

It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies.

The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

And THAT's the final word!!!

Thats really no lie, English is the most complicated modern language there is.

You have words that sound the same like..
There and Their and They're
Weather, Whether

You have words that are spelled the same will different punctuation...
He'll and Hell

And that brings up the point of contractions.

And then you have words that are completely spelled identically but have different meaning, for example the first one here has 3 meanings, the second has 2.
Well
Spoke

And these are just jumbled in there and the only way to tell the difference is the context its used in.

I can very easily see how English could kill someone just trying to learn it. :P ;)

hebrew's not that hard. the only hard thing is that hebrew is spoken so fast, and being that i'm not israeli, and that english is my first language, and that english is a very slow language, it's hard to think so fast. there are more letters and the vowels are dots and are normally not written, which would seem to make it a lot harder, but it doesnt affect it that much. one of the harder things probably is that there are two sets of numbers, masculine and feminine, and all words are masculine/feminine. and some male singulars have feminine plurals and vice versa. there are also a LOT of exceptions. in different forms, if one letter is the first root letter, totally different (and seemingly random) letters will jump in to that form.
anybody know anything on esperanto (besides that it's a newly formed language that is supposed to be perfect)??

that smiff is hinting at it with the excersize thing, but diet is a huge part of it.... not just fats and wines and such, but processed foods in general. we americans live in the country that invented a quota of acceptable human body parts per volume in our food stuffs. this is seriously a law that still is enforced and has been since the 20's or something.

hey, did you hear? jack lost a foot, shoe, and that athletes foot case in the meat grinder last week...."oh really, well, how many packages of hot dogs were you making?" oh... it was somewhere between the 100,000 package of ball park extra longs and cheeze filled turkey based weenies.... didn't slow production even a bit!

i think THAT's why we are dieing faster...that and we feed cattle the remains of other cattle, that is just sick, too, and the cause for the EXISTENCE of some diseases such as foot and mouth and mad cow's disease.

but you know it could just be the language.

Yup, that's quite correct.
