A serving of ice cream a day keeps you sane. (Tan et al 2006)
This study was further expounded to show that it is not only ice cream but the type of ice cream that will yield the desired result. As such it is proposed that ice cream be sold at a discounted rate in Singapore to keep people sane and delirious. ( Journal of the Mad People VOl 1 No 2, Tan Lie Na)

Cockroach-eating contest bugs animal group
TORONTO (Reuters) - An animal rights group called for a North American theme park operator to cancel a competition in which people will try to break the world cockroach-eating record.
Theme park operator Six Flags Inc, based in New York, is staging the contest as part of a promotion leading up to Halloween in which it is also offering customers free entry or line-jumping advantages if they eat a live Madagascar hissing cockroach.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said it had been flooded with calls from children, adults and even anonymous employees of Six Flags opposing the record-breaking contest and the overall promotion.
"Insects do not deserve to be eaten alive especially for a gratuitous marketing gimmick," PETA spokeswoman Jackie Vergerio told Reuters.
The competition to beat the world cockroach eating record is being held on Friday at a Six Flags park in Gurnee, Illinois. Anyone who beats the record will win a season pass for four people for 2007 with VIP queue-jumping status.
Competitors will try to break the current world record, which is held by Ken Edwards of Derbyshire, England, who devoured 36 Madagascar hissing cockroaches in one minute in 2001.
However Six Flags spokesman James Taylor said the only complaints the company had received were from people who did not have the opportunity to sign up and eat a cockroach because
only 12 of its 30 parks in the United States, Canada, and Mexico were participating in the promotion.
Taylor dismissed any health concerns, saying the cockroaches were raised in a sterile environment and were as safe to eat as shrimp or lobster with high nutritional value.
Madagascar hissing cockroaches are large, wingless cockroaches that can grow to between 1.5 to 3 inches.
Taylor said no one who had indulged in this rare delicacy had complained.
"It's something that's supposed to be scary, it's icky, it's gross, it's Halloween fun and it's just one small part of the haunted houses and thrilling rides going on."

This is part of the Korean show, "Marrying into the Mafia (I)". The part where this lady plays the piano etches a deep impression into my heart. Especially the part where she sees the guy leaving the restoran with the guy she likes.

Was readin this and i felt like.. Hey its like playing CM.. hahaha..
Personally speaking from my point of view, I would go for a mixture of form & experience with a tinge of Youth to add in..
The Tried & Tested 4-4-2 with a diamond-styled midfield will be my preferred formation for the 3Lions as most English players are trained to playing 4-4-2 even for clubs. Forget the 3-5-2.. our wing play sux.. and our defence is leaky as well.. i would rather play a line back 4..
And given my choices, I would call up 22 players.
Below will be my starting 11 on current form.(assuming all are injury free... which is a rarity)
Goalkeepers
-Paul Robinson
-Scott Carson(S)
Defenders
-Ashley Cole(S)
-Wayne Bridge
-Gary Neville
-John Terry(S)
-Jamie Carragher(S)
-Ledley King(S)
Defensive Mid
-Owen Hargreaves(S)
-Scott Parker
-Steve Gerrard(S)
-Michael Carrick
-Joe Cole
-David Beckham
-Aaron Lenon(S)
-Stewart Downing(S)
Striker
-Andy Johnson(S)
-Wayne Rooney
-Peter Crotch
-Jermaine Defoe(S)
-Mikey Owen
(S) Denotes starting 11.
What you say.. Leave ur starting 11 in my comments box lah.. see who more power... hahahaha
