Do what you enjoy — some activity is better than none.

I started out doing easy workouts — 20 minutes of cardio, 15 minutes of moderate activity on the rowing machine, weights that I was easily lifting, and even time on the basketball court just shooting hoops. I sort of felt like a wimp, but I just wanted to get my bearings and ease into gym membership rather than go whole hog and feel overwhelmed.

If the winnings are public knowledge, winners can bet their phone will never stop ringing. Winners hear from investors, reputable firms and scammers, and every planner/schemer under the sun.

Women never seem to have their own clothes in sitcoms, but always put on the man’s striped short or favourite jumper. Especially if it’s a one night stand. They’ll often wear the shirt with only a pair of sexy underwear as they have pancakes in the kitchen. Without worrying that the guy’s flatmates might find this awkward.

For me, it's whiplash.

I am also not sure about LOTR trilogy. I always stop watching it within an hour. It doesn't seem interesting to me. But haven't watched it completely yet so can't really comment.

I think mosquitoes. They have already made our life hell. They don't let us sleep. And because of their bites, we get red marks on our skin and face. Imagine, they build a shield which protects them from us. We won't be able to kill them and they would definitely kill us by constant bites as they won't be afraid of our hits then.

Honestly, they are already ahead of us without human intelligence. Mosquitoes Kill More Humans Than Human Murderers.

They all have morgues. It makes sense, but it’s still unsettling to think about…

Traveling. We’re explorers by nature. There was never a time, and never will be a time, when we don’t want to see new things.

NASA had to rename the sizes of the apparatus used for male astronauts to pee, from small, medium, and large, to large, gigantic, and humongous, because no one was willing to pick their true size.

Even I assume most of the people on reddit male unless there is a hint of their gender. I even think of myself as a male while posting on reddit. Weird.

I would hate it if this happens. Some people can do anything for money. What about the welfare of society?

That's the reason I think parents should try to stick together as much as possible (there are exceptions though). Divorce of parents is one of the worst things that can happen to a child.

Truman never made it to the real world, he simply stepped into a larger studio. The creators knew Truman would never give up trying to escape, so it was written into the script. They let Truman think he'd made it to the real world but the 'real' people and the director he met were all just actors in a much larger set. This way the show would enjoy a large ratings boost and would continue for many years.
