shufitzHeart attack: early warning
This isn't word-related, but you'll be interested to know that they've discovered a extremely-early warning sign of risk of heart attack. Though this sign is of course of no personal concern to anyone here, it might be important to someone you know. From today's paper:
A Surprising Risk Factor for Heart Disease in Men
Some studies show that erectile dysfunction, or ED, may be one of the earliest warning signs of heart disease, giving men as much as three years' notice before more serious symptoms show up. … "The penis is a barometer of the health of the vascular system," says _________. … The reason erectile function is so closely linked with heart and vascular health is that the penis is sustained by two main arteries. If a man has vascular disease that causes narrowing of the arteries or plaque buildup, the damage often shows up first in the small penile arteries rather than the larger arteries leading to his heart.The conclusion?
Basically what is a heart-healthy lifestyle is also good for erections.February 20, 2007, 09:10

Concerned as to how we regard fun,

When worried we were to safeguard fun,
