Two Random Things

Normally I’d post these kinda things into my del.icio.us links in the sidebar, but I laughed til I cried reading this:


Here’s a link to the comic’s site, it’s Penny Arcade, but I think just about anyone who knows me would have heard about the comic already.

The other random tidbit is that back when I had a serious addiction to Rockstar and/or Diet Rockstar I would drink 4 16 oz. cans (maximum) a day to keep the blood flowing in my veins. I know it’s a fuck-ton of energy drink to have, but I got up quick in the mornings, slept like a baby and could stay up late daily.

One look at this site let’s me know exactly how I started gaining weight two or so years ago. Apparently there is 60 grams of sugar in one 16 oz. Rockstar. 60 FUCKING GRAMS! I was a champ for injesting upwards of 240 grams of sugar a day and not being dead.

According to the calculator I would need to drink just over 96 Rockstars in order to die. Ugh. People shouldn’t have that many in a lifetime. I’m afraid I’m probably waaaay over that number. I used to order two of these at a time. Nowadays I have one or two cans of diet Pepsi if I’m feeling sluggish. But that’s a daily maximum.

And I still don’t drink coffee. I think at 25, I will be able to go through life without drinking coffee or needing caffeine in the morning to get me going. Hopefully I’ll be able to stay that way.
