ok – obviously i need to go to bed b/c i just linked to the wrong story – but, hey! it’s related! it’s about coke and mentos! i can’t find my “bikes are bad for the environment story” link. the point of the article is that ppl that ride bicycles live longer that ppl that don’t exercise. that means that healthy bike riders use more of the earth’s resources over their lifetime than dead ppl. so, do the earth a favor and smokes some cigarettes and have unsafe sex.
