  1. 'Juggling leads to changes in brain.' (tinyurl.comig0)

    "It's a great party trick and useful for circus performers
    but scientists said Wednesday that learning to juggle can
    cause changes in areas of the adult brain.

    Mastering the skill increases the amount of gray matter in
    areas of the brain that process and store visual
    information, proving what was not thought possible -- that
    new stimuli can alter the brain's structure."

    Rest, ice, compression and elevation. It's good for more
    than beer...

    Of course, when you get good at juggling the balls don't hit
    you in the head as often, so ibuprofin is enough to take
    down the swelling.

    half empty. Engineers think the glass is too big.
