Blogger dan at Foodproof posted a list of the 100 things you should eat before you die.
I checked out the list and these are what I've eaten so far:
1. calamari (almost every week)
2. pho
3. PB&J sandwich (still looking for the best PB&J out there)
4. hotdog from a street cart
5. steamed pork buns (isn't this siopao?)
6. oysters (who hasn't eaten them?)
7. baklava
8. clam chowder (but not in a sourdough bowl)
9. cognac (but no cigar. I don't smoke)
10. ox tail (we call it kare-kare)
11. single malt whiskey (thanks to my brother)
12. krispy kreme original glazes doughnut
13. sea urchin (not fresh from the sea though)
14. abalone
15. our own version of McDonald's Big Mac Meal (does this count?)
16. beer above 8% ABV (that would be Oettinger Forte: 12% ABV)
17. s'mores (but the commerical kind; not the kind from campfires)
18. durian
19. frog's legs
20. churros
21. snail
22. pocky (yan-yan actually)
23. spam
24. soft shell crab

I've only got 75 more to go but I'm whittling the list down to 99 since I am not even going near roadkill. That makes it 74 more to go.

100 Things You Should Eat Before You Die
Weed kills pain
Last week I mentioned that researchers are looking into Cannabis sativa as a potential to combat serious infections.
But that's not the end of it. Physorg.com reports that researchers are also looking into the possibility that receptors found in the peripheral nervous system can be used to stop pain.
CB2 are cannabinoid receptors that are activated by cannibis use. Drugs that has this properties are being looked into to provide pain-relief to patients with osteoarthritis or pain from nerve damage. An advantage of these cannabis-like drugs is that it won't have the same side-effects such as nausea and dependency which are found in drugs like morphine.
Go, weed!

Weed against MRSA
WebMD reports that a researchers have found chemicals in Cannabis sativa may be used to combat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA.
Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal on our skin. In about a third of the population, it can also be found in the nose and throat. Disease occurs when there's a break in the skin or mucosa.
MRSA is a variant of S. aureus which is resistant to penicillin and cephalosporins. This presents a problem for patients who have hospital-acquired MRSA since this makes infections more difficult to treat resulting in longer hospital stays. Complications include sepsis and pneumonia. MRSA causes increased incidence of morbidity and mortality.
There are five cannabinoids, chemicals found in marijuana, that researchers are looking into which may potentially be used in a new class of antibiotics.

Please correct your my grammer
I try to be a stickler when it comes to the usage of grammar and spelling.
But whenever I am writing something I just tend to let my fingers fly on the keyboard. Alright, alright. It's more like I let my fingers waddle on the keyboard.
That said, I tend to make grammar errors. Spelling not so much. My Mac tends to put red squiggly lines under each misspelled word. But grammar is my weak point. I hope I don't make that too many mistakes.
Correct me if I'm wrong...
Sleep is the new sex. Or is it?
Is has been my usual Sunday evening habit to visit Drew Curtis' FARK.com. This and the Daily Show with Jon Stewart have been my only source of real news.
One of the links that intrigued me was a post by a woman who wrote that sex with her husband has decreased in frequency because of everything that has been going on outside the bedroom. Her husband confided with a female co-worker about the woman's lack of energy and preference to snooze it off, the co-worker said, "Sleep is the new sex." It would seem that the husband was ok with that and told the woman and she's happier now.
End of story.
Not exactly.
As in some instances, the jewel behind blogs is not the actual post itself but the comments.
Please check those out. In essence, majority of the comments says the same thing: your husband will soon screw someone else if you keep on sleeping.
Precious.
Comments
Been poised at the keyboard for almost a year now trying to figure out what to blog about. It's been a heck of a year (or two) for me. More so in the past few weeks. I think I might go back to blogging again. This is my catharsis. I wonder if it'll work?
While I was preparing to do another post I saw that I had two unapproved comments. One about calamares and the other about the obit I did on Steve Jobs.
Shame on me for not having approved those sooner.
I've been remiss to my readers.
I should appreciate them more since they've taken the time to read my sorry blog.
To my readers, I promise to be more vigilant when you post a comment and try my best to reply. I grateful that you took the time to visit Brain On Ink.
I'll try to post three times a week then we'll take it from there.
Arigato.
