Bosses are a known cause of migranes.I once had a dream that my Mom told me to drink hot water to cure hiccups. When I askedher about it she looked at me as if I had lost what little sense I had. Next time I had thehiccups I tried drinking hot water and sure enough it didn't work. So much for my dreams.

I got two raises, then she became threatened by my popularityamong my peers and had me fired on some bogus shit. It didn'tmatter because that leadership experience got me the much betterpaying job that I currently work now.

A lot of things to think about, very interesting list. Here's another one.
Why Do We Sleep?
While we do know that the human body is regulated by a circadian clock that keepshumans on a sleep/wake cycle, we don’t really know why. Sleep is the time when ourbodies repair tissues and perform other maintenance activities, and we spend nearly a thirdof our lives snoozing. Some other organisms don’t need to sleep at all, so why do we?There are a few different ideas out there, but none seem to solidly answer the question.Some theorize that animals who are able to sleep have evolved the ability to hide frompredators, while others who need to remain more alert are able to rest and regenerate inother ways without fully going to sleep. While scientists don’t quite know why we do it, theyare starting to learn more about why it is important, and how sleep impacts important things
are starting to learn more about why it is important, and how sleep impacts important thingslike brain plasticity.

Dude, on a side note your avatar inspired me to watch Archer fantastic. And your above comment is much to the style of the leadcharacter. Love it!
I've had women tell me that my personal mannerisms are like his. I'mdefinitely not as careless but we share the same taste in women.The story above is true though.
