Welcome Stack-Master-B

So I have to say that it is about time for Brian's Blog to be up and running...he has even made some posts. He can be pretty funny too so long as you remember that Brian is 'special'. On a sad note I lost 20 bucks yesterday in Atlantic City guess that means I can kiss my island estate in Fiji goodbye.

Enjoy your BBQ.

So, you've read Bob's blog posting about how hot dogs give you cancer.

How about this?

Finnish researchers reported that fermenting cabbage produces compounds known as isothiocyanates, shown in laboratory studies to prevent the growth of cancer. Fermentation actually enhances its protective effects. Glucosinolates in sauerkraut activate the body's antioxidant enzymes, and flavonoids protect artery walls from oxidative damage. This study was published in the October 23, 2002 Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

If you're going to have a hot dog (which apparently causes cancer) - have some sauerkraut to prevent cancer. Maybe they'll cancel each other out.

Princess Sophia Endorses Pop Up Maps:

Word on the street has it that Princess Sophia took the wrong exit and went East instead of West. Oh Shit what ever will she do. Knowing the city is a grid and that she was on 3rd street she continues on her way because she knows that she has a long way til 19th street. She comes across familiar street names. Vine, Race, Arch and there it was, Market Street! She turns onto Market unbeknownst to her that Market stops at 13th street - Oh shit she needs to be at 19th and Market in 1/2 hour for an interview - What ever will she do??

Oh wait certain someones gave Princess Sophia a pop up map of the city - Saved! Princess Sophia is one happy customer! Pop up Maps - you're great! Thanks Philadelphia Pop Up Map! Happy to report making it to her interview on time!
