Even though we learn more and exercise our brains every day, there comes a point when — as we get older — our brains shrink. The brain shrinkage contributes to memory loss, poor choices and other dysfunctions of age. Researchers found that every part of the human brain shrinks, with some regions — such as the frontal lobe, an area important in making decisions and planning ahead — losing 25 percent of their earlier volume by age 80.

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for groups of animals.
There is a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), a School of fish, an Exaltation of doves and, presumably because they look so wise, a Parliament of owls.
Now consider the baboon. The loudest, most dangerous and viciously aggressive of all primates. And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons - a Congress.
So, next time you hear the news out of Washington DC… just sayin’….

Some people use way too many cliches. It can get overwhelming. According Huffington Post readers, here are some cliches that are overused and should probably be banned:

LOL
Been there, done that.
That’s how I roll.
I know, right?
More bang for your buck
Outside of the box
You go, girl!
It is what it is.

Here’s the quick way to determine if a guy you just met is a slacker or one with potential: Take a sneak peek at his fingers. The longer his ring finger — compared to his index finger — the wealthier he’s likely to be (or become).

Canadian scientists measured the fingers of nearly 500 men and compared them with the size of his wallet. The guys with long ring fingers took all sorts of risks. But they were handsomely rewarded in their career, health and relationships.

Doctor Eric Stenstrom says (quote) “There’s a link between high testosterone and risk-taking. Since women tend to be attracted to men who are fit, assertive and rich, men are apt to take risks with sports, people and money to appear attractive.”

Hey bin Laden…hope you’re burning in hell you scum bag!

The “Bikini Butt Bra” can help your body look like it’s in shape for summer even when it’s not. The “Butt Bra” is less expensive than plastic surgery but gives similar results. Your butt cheeks will defy gravity and give a better silhouette under tight yoga pants or a summer dress.

Believe it or not, a psychologist invented the Butt Bra. She’s prescribed it to patients, both male and female, who have body image issues. The Butt Bra is simple to wear: Two adjustable elastic straps wrap around and under your cheeks. Pull the straps tight and your butt suddenly looks a decade younger

Most Americans won’t notice if Washington DC shuts down. The politicians can’t seem to find a way to compromise on how much money to spend, so the federal government is on a course to close its doors at midnight tomorrow. That hardly matters to anyone outside of Washington, except that the IRS will stop sending out tax refund checks. But your tax returns are still due-no matter what. (Time to get out the pitchforks
