Mahaha

For some reason I decided to count the number of times the word "fuck" occurs in each of our blogs. I thought the results were pretty funny (though not unexpected) so I thought I'd share them :p.

Jason - 0
Scotty - 1
Erin - 2
Steve - 2
Cara - 0
Amy - 3
Fudgey - 0
Ben - 1
Sean - 16

These results are accurate at the time of posting for whatever was visible on the main page of each blog :).

Also, I happened to be looking up Falun Dafa on wikipedia and came across some interesting things:

The study states:

"We here report the cellular and molecular changes in Falun Gong practitioners' PMNs that may attribute to enhanced immunity, alteration of apoptotic properties in favor of a rapid resolution of inflammation, as well as PMNs longevity based upon a much more economical balance of protein synthesis and degradation."

"Drastic system-level changes of gene expression were detected in PMNs of Falun Gong practitioners, while little changes were detected among non-practitioners, despite the differences in age and gender. Most interestingly, the genes that are regulated in a consensus fashion among the practitioners can be grouped into several functional clusters, which are directly linked to PMN functions in anti-viral immunity, apoptotic property and possibly longevity based upon a much more economical balance of protein synthesis and degradation."

The Falun Dafa Australia website lists three surveys conducted in China in 1998, all of which suggest significant improvement in health levels. While the latter two provide no information related to who performed the surveys, the first lists a team of eleven researchers assembled from various institutes, hospitals, and universities. This survey was conducted on over ten thousand Falun Gong adherents in Beijing. The results suggest that among the participants Falun Gong’s disease healing rate was 99.1% with a cure rate of 58.5%. The rate of improvement in physical health was 80.3%, while 96.5% in mental health. The results of this survey indicate that Falun Gong has a significant effect in disease healing and improving health.[8]

I thought that was pretty cool. Might have to get back into it again.
