LIFE EXPECTANCY UP:
Volume 1, Issue 129
People are living longer than ever but men still trail women in life
expectancy, a new Duke University study shows. An international
team of researchers has reviewed data from the 18th century to the
present and found that the last few generations have had the largest
increase in life expectancy in the history of humans. For example,
life expectancy in Sweden has increased from the mid-30s to over
80. But despite the overall increase in life expectancy, men still tend
to have shorter lives than women. Possible reasons include genetics
and higher levels of risky behavior in men. (“Don’t worry, honey. I’ll
just balance a kitchen chair on the hood of the car so I can reach up
to hang the Christmas lights.”)
WASTE WATER:
When it comes to water consumption, some of us are greedier than
others. Americans, while perhaps the cleanest, are the worst
offenders. According to Statistica, the US uses 1,630 cubic meters
per year, followed by Estonians, New Zealanders, and Canadians.
Germans, by contrast, use just 400 cubic meters and the UK only
140. German tradition suggests that babies and young children need
to be thrown in the tub only once or twice a week. Teens get a bit
oilier and tend to play more sports, so once-a-day is a good
guideline. But people in their 20s-to-50s can cut back to every other
day and even less in their golden years because elderly skin tends to
dry out. (A surefire way to cause quite a stink.)
AMAZING TURKEY FACTS:
• Male turkeys are called ‘gobblers’ after the gobble call they make
to announce themselves to females. Other turkey sounds include
‘purrs’, ‘yelps’, and ‘kee-kees’.
• Both gobblers and hens have a ‘snood’ (a dangle-y appendage on
the face), a ‘wattle’ (the red bit hanging under the chin), and only a
few feathers on the head.
• Eating the skin on a serving of roast turkey (dark meat) adds about
18% more calories to a serving without the skin.
• Nutritionists believe that the amount of tryptophan in turkey is
insufficient by itself to induce sleepiness. Rather, it’s the traditional
bread-potato-stuffing-pie Thanksgiving meal as a whole that triggers
after-dinner lethargy.

A REAL PICKLE:
Candy canes are a classic seasonal snack that you can pluck right
off the tree. Many might argue that the traditional red-and-white
candies are perfect the way they are, but some other holiday
deviants disagree. If you’re sick of peppermint, you might be
tempted to try a candy cane that tastes like … a pickle. Believe it or
not, Amazon has a whole slew of flavors to choose from: bacon,
wasabi, gravy, and coffee among them. The unusual flavors are
perfect for anyone with offbeat taste buds or a mean sense of
humor. The pickle canes are decorated in bright green, so they look
festive enough for even the most traditional tree. (We say if it isn’t
peppermint, it’s blasphemy.)

City employees in Bloomington, Indiana will indeed get paid time off
for ‘Good Friday’ and ‘Columbus Day’ in 2017, but the holidays won’t
go by those names anymore. Bloomington mayor John Hamilton has
announced that the days are to be redubbed ‘Spring Holiday’ and
‘Fall Holiday’ as a way to “demonstrate a commitment to
inclusivity”. Good Friday, of course, precedes the Christian
celebration of Easter and commemorates the day Christ was
crucified. Columbus Day marks the 1492 arrival of explorer
Christopher Columbus in the Americas. Hamilton claims the new
names better reflect cultural sensitivity in the workplace. (But they
have about as much pizzaz as the ‘Bank Holiday’ in Britain.)
AMAZING FACT:
The wild turkey was hunted nearly to extinction by the early 1900s,
when the population reached a low of around 30,000 birds. But
restoration programs across North America have brought the
numbers up to about 7 million.
