If your exercise habits aren’t the best, it may be the fault of your fingers.
Yep, voluntary exercise has been linked to the length of your fingers in a new study from the University of Alberta and the University of California-Riverside.
Here’s what they did and what they found:
Sadly, I heard this morning that former Carnegie Mellon University professor, Dr. Randy Pausch, died today from pancreatic cancer.
Like so many others, I was inspired by his 2007 last lecture, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.” Randy talked about living with challenges and most importantly of all, living your passion.
Even he was surprised by how many people he touched in his final days.
If you haven’t had a chance to hear his lecture yet, you can find it at http://www.cmu.edu/randyslecture/
I hope you’ll be inspired, too.
My thoughts and prayers go to his wife, Jai, and their 3 kids, Dylan, Logan, and Chloe.

There are all kinds of diets to lose weight. But is there a beautiful skin diet?
According to dermatologist Susan C. Taylor, MD, what we eat has a significant impact on our skin, which is the largest organ in the body.
But we’re not just talking about the effect of food on skin conditions like acne, rosacea, or eczema. Diet may also affect the aging and wrinkling of your skin.
So what does a beautiful skin diet consist of?
It’s not just for Hollywood stars anymore.
These days, over 70% of women and 40% of men surveyed are definitely or possibly interested in having cosmetic surgery, liposuction, or both.
Actually, it’s a contest called Ruckus Nation that will award cash prizes for the best ideas for fun and cool products to get kids moving.
This online competition is open to almost everyone worldwide, no matter what your age or location. See the rules for any restrictions that may apply to you.
The competition is sponsored by a nonprofit organization called HopeLab.
Yep, they actually studied this.
It seems that women who want babies favor men with low-pitched voices. So naturally, these men have more babies.
A new study from McMaster University showed that women find men with deep voices to be more attractive.
Yes, ladies, we think these men are older, healthier, more dominant, and more masculine-sounding.
Men like higher-pitched voices in their women because these women are considered to be more attractive, feminine, healthy, subordinate, and younger-sounding.
The researchers believe that if our ancestors shared our preferences for men with deep voices and women with high-pitched voices, this may explain why men’s and women’s voices developed differently.
It also explains why Mickey Mouse doesn’t have any kids. But what the heck is Minnie’s problem?
