I can't sleep. This isn't so much what you'd call good. To pass the time and hopefully bore myself into unconsciousness I decided to watch some news on the internet. The last story I saw was particularly enlightening. Researchers in Britain have found that the average person can add about fourteen years to their life if they do the following:

Great research there. Genius scientists of the world, I implore you. Find a way I can live fourteen more years without fricking giving up everything that makes life worth it.
Thanks in advance,

An entire nation has banned public smoking! On top of that, selling tobacco is also illegal.
Woohoo! (Thanks, Evangelical
