I READ THE NEWS TODAY (oh boy!)

A new STUDY shows that every hour per day spent in front a computer raises your risk of early death from heart disease by 18%. Meaning, someone who spends an average of two hours a day is 36% more susceptible than someone who spends none, even if they're not obese and exercise.

RAISING the RISK of dying from cancer by 8%, and all causes 11%. The Australian study actually looked at more than 8,000 people who spent more than four hours of a day.

BUT the problem isn't the watching YouTube or tweeting, it's sitting down for long periods of time.

From our "we couldn’t make this up if we tried" dept. – "even if we tried" -- VIAGRA SHEETS = "wish we thought of that"

ACCORDING TO ENGLAND’S SUN>> Spanish genius Pep Torres, 44, has used nanotechnology to infuse the sex drug's arousing ingredient into the fibers of a bed sheet.
When people get into bed the viagra soaks into their skin and gets into the bloodstream - which could wreak havoc if you were hoping for an early night.
Pep said: "It started as a joke after we saw a German study that said businessmen get little sex because they are too tired from work.
"But we got so many calls after launching it that we're going into production.
"The people we got to test them said they felt their heads pumping, and so was another thing. And they couldn't concentrate on anything except...well, you know."
He unveiled the invention at the 9th British Invention Show at London's Alexandra Palace last July.

I READ THE NEWS TODAY (OH BOY!)

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US media on Tuesday published photos of the singed underwear that a Nigerian terror suspect allegedly wore to hide explosives in his failed attempt to blow up an airplane over the United States.
The pictures showed a packet of powder explosives that had been sewn into the crotch of the undergarment, as well as a charred, partially melted plastic syringe that held a liquid acid to detonate the bomb.
The specially modified, beige-colored briefs allegedly were worn by 23-year-old suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab during his Christmas Day attempt to bring down the Detroit-bound Airbus A330 with 290 people on board.
According to charging documents last week, the bomb stashed inside Abdulmutallab's underwear contained about 80 grams of the explosive PETN, also known as pentaerythritol.



Hmmm, the DARTBOARD has its own questions:

o During questioning if he is caught making an untrue statement, will the FBI shout “LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!”

o If he succeeded and when to his heaven, will he able to perform with the 23 virgins that would be waiting for him?

o If he decided to put the explosives in his shoe instead, and it was Christmas Day, would he be labeled the MISSILE TOE BOMBER?

o If he had links to Al-Qaeda, might he also have links to YouTube, MySpace, and Ebay.

o If guilty, would it be proven that he had a package in his package?

TODAY'S DART: Don't mess with the Lohan!

From WENN.COM -- Lindsay Lohan has come under fire from bosses at an exclusive U.S. boutique - after she allegedly demanded $15,000 in free gifts despite failing to properly promote her in-store leggings range.

Reports surfaced earlier this month that the Mean Girls actress was fuming after a store assistant at Los Angeles' Kitson refused to allow her to go on a hefty spree without charge.

And bosses at the retail outfit aren't letting the tantrum go without punishment - they have slammed the star for her demanding ways, and insist she should be grateful they are still stocking her 6126 leggings range.

A spokesperson for Kitson tells Fox News, "We're actually really offended. The tables have turned and now we're the customer.

"We spent $50,000 on her leggings line, but she hasn't come to the store in three years, and she didn't even do a personal appearance.
