On the topic of what 2007 is going to look like, the Minneapolis Star Tribune had an article about what might possibly happen, and what is actually likely to happen. And on the topic of health, it was said, which I thought was very true and rather amusing…:
You’ll probably hear that some common food has an unexpected health-boosting property. (Eggs prevent glaucoma! Onions promote healthy scalps, but only in suppository form!) You’ll read that cappuccino froth has been found to make lab rats actually explode with tumors, but this study will be countermanded by another one that says cell-phone radiation deactivates the froth peril, and in the end you will still hit the drive-through because there’s nothing in the fridge but French’s mustard from 1999, and everyone has to die of something.
