Three Bulls Health Corner, UPDATE


–>I couldn’t wait, here’s the update from RR:

He writes:

I found my 237 cholestorol rating when getting life insurance about 4 weeks ago. A test I took with a real doctor came last week came back and stated the cholestorol was 203. 203 is still worth worrying about but less alarming than 237. The same result of low HDL to LDL cholestorol was maintained, however, the total is significantly different. All possible causes for variance:

1. I fasted on first test (no food midnight-8AM); 2nd test I had only fasted about 5 hours between breakfast and test; that could skew reading but I would think mainly on blood sugar type readings, not cholestorol (comments here from science guy?)
2. 3 weeks time difference – however, I don’t think it’s possible for cholestorol to drop that much in 3 weeks, esp since I had not yet started lifestyle modification program
3. Dishonesty by life insurance company (I had self-reported cholestorol at 190-200 to get my preliminary quote, they used the higher reading to justify a higher premium)

I will go in for more bloodwork in a week or two with a full fasting type thing like on the first test – assuming the impact of lifestyle modifcation is small (it takes a fair amount of time), we will see whether theory #1 or theory #3 is at play. I hope I get a low reading and theory #3 is shown to be true – partially for my own health, but partially because it may expose a collusive arrangement between Big Life Insurance and Big Oatmeal. They will launch an investigation, and I’ll testify before Congress. It will be great.

  • Hehe… you said bathhouse…

  • Oh, and Pinko is totally easy.

  • Is he a cheap date? a 3 beer queer?

    And I agree, it is bathhouse.

    unless you’re housing bats.

    THYCWOTI 4EVA!

  • Maybe bathouse was what I meant. That seems more Three Bulls to me.

  • I massage my crient to furr rerease.

  • I no terr how — ancient Chinese secret.

  • TEH!!!!!!! DAMINIT, YOU KNOW HOW THREE BULLS! IS ABOUT UN-PC ACCENTS.

    Except old hasidic men, those are funny.

  • Well I needed a laugh, and I came to the right place. Thanks, teh! I ruv you big time honey!

    I just got the bandages off from the horrible laser incident, but my eyes are still all puffy and watery and my focus goes in and out. I tried to post comments while the bandages were still on by typing something and then having my cat read it back to me, but it all sounded like gibberish.
    So instead, he and I started working on a very powerful DEATH RAY!!!

    Who’s laughing now, eh Yosef?!? Hmmmm?

    Bwa Haa HAAAA!!! Meowwww yow YOW!!!

  • Death Rays are SOOO 1900s. It’s all about the hordes of implacable nanobots.

  • Hmmm, implacable nanobots, let us think a moment…

    [pssss psssstt rrrowww yes miniaturize,... meow ssshhhpppssstt cold fusion rrrft roww mmmfft? ssssppppfftt mew mew high intensity flux rrrrrowwww!!! pppssshhht hordes? mmrrrrow underground lair mmmurff rrrrrowww slave chipmunks ssshhhppppff indeeeed!!!]

    …Oh yes, I think that hordes of implacable nanobots will fit VERY NICELY into our plans…

    RRRREEEEoowwww!!! BWAAAAAAA HHHAAAA HAAAAAA!!! [cough cough] Bwa haa…

  • Thing about implacable nanobots…ya just can’t please ‘em.

  • Hi folks!

    I just stumbled upon this blog totally randomly, and it’s so coooolll!!!! You guys seem really smart and stuff?

    By the way, I have this friend who is thinking about getting a small horde of implacable nanobots for…ah…to mow his lawn and stuff? And he’s doesn’t want to destroy the world or anything, but he doesn’t think wimpy placable nanobots would have the ferosity to…um, I mean, do a good job on the lawn and stuff?

    So do you know where I could get I mean where my friend could get a couple of hordes of implacable nanobots and stuff?

    Your new friend and stuff,

    peacefulharmlessdude

  • Maybe we could put you in touch with someone that knows some stickler-for-quality nanobots, but implacable? We only might know a guy i th price is right. Those kind of nanobots are never happy.

  • Well, I had a small flock of moderately insatiable nanobots a couple of capers ago, but I accidently left them next to the Halloween candy and ended up with a pile of fat docile microbots.

  • that’s the thing about insatiable nanobots, consistent with their inability to be sated.

  • I just finished up training my slave chipmunks I mean happy workforce to oversee the slew of industrious femptodroids I created to manufacture hordes of implacable nanobots. I go out for a well deserved beer, and when I come back I’m like “where are all the implacable naobots?” And the slave chipmunks are like “we had a better idea” and unveil this frankly ominous looking killer android chipmunk. So I’m like “HA HA very funny!” and they’re all like “nobody’s laughing, science boy…”.
    So I got my ass out of that underground lair toot sweet.

    Oh, and the killer android chipmunk? Laser-beam eyes.

    Who am I, Job?!? What a week I’m having…
