Many a schoolyard fight was begun over this simple question. Which is the best Twix? Is it the sweet and crunchy “original” twix with caramel? Or is the “alternative” flavor, peanut butter, better?

While pondering that, explain how the following statement makes any sense, and don’t forget to take the quiz after the break!

Twix Tea Breaks (introduced around 1980s, UK). Single bars in between the size of a standard bar and a miniature bar (though having the same dimensions as a standard bar). Available loose in Twix bags from supermarkets. Re-named around 1990s. – from Wikipedia

A new study may help drinkers pick their poison. In a head-to-head comparison, bourbon gave drinkers a more severe hangover than vodka, report Damaris Rohsenow of Brown University and colleagues in an upcoming issue of Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.

But vodka drinkers aren’t off the hook: Drinkers’ sleep suffered equally with both drinks, as did their performance on tasks requiring attention and quick responses. Understanding the lingering effects of alcohol after a night of heavy drinking is important for people who engage in safety-sensitive tasks, such as driving, while hung over Rohsenow says.

The researchers recruited 95 healthy young adults, ages 21 to 33, and gave them caffeine-free cola mixed with bourbon, vodka or tonic water. The drinking ended when participants’ breath-alcohol concentrations hit an average of 0.11, well over the legal intoxication limit. Participants were then hooked up to sleep monitors, which record brain activity, and allowed to sleep it off. At 7 a.m. the next day, the researchers roused the subjects from bed (a wake-up that did not include coffee or aspirin) and asked them to rate the severity of their hangovers.

Overall, bourbon drinkers reported feeling worse than vodka drinkers, rating higher on scales that measure the severity of hangover malaise, including headache, nausea, loss of appetite and thirst. It should come as no surprise that alcohol drinkers said they felt much worse than those who had drunk only tonic water.

One reason for the different effects of vodka and bourbon, Rohsenow says, could be that bourbon contains 37 times more toxic compounds than vodka does, including nasty organic molecules such as acetone, acetaldehyde, tannins and furfural. A good rule of thumb for liquors, she says, is that the clearer they are, the less of these substances they contain.

Both the bourbon drinkers and vodka drinkers slept poorly compared to the nondrinkers, the team found. The next morning, when the participants performed cognitive tests that required attention and quick reaction times, the drinkers performed worse than the nondrinkers, but the type of alcohol had no effect on performance. Both groups of drinkers were impaired equally.

Making friends in Montana

Largebuck here. Out here in Montana they take bull riding and stuff real serious. In order to blend in with the natives, I decided I better attend to my inexperience with some much needed practice. After loading up the Land Rover with seagull jerky, and lacing several gallons of water with methamphetamine, I began searching for a ranch to practice my craft. I began the search the lands around the cabin, using a rigid grid pattern. But something in the peyote buttons I was chewing on reacted with the seagull meat or the meth, I am not sure which. In any case, my search grid took on a fractal dimension the second day. By day three I was just driving around willy nilly when I stumbled onto a whole dairy filled with bovine like creatures. I peered through my third eye to see more clearly, and they were in fact cattle! Elated, I began by earning the creatures trust. Leaving my .44 Magnum in the Land Rover, I stripped down to show them I was unarmed. At this point I proceeded into the field, unmolested by the hairy beasts, who for some reason seemed to be mildly anxious about my presence. Alas, I searched the nether regions of every single cow in the ranch and not a single one had cock or balls! In other words, no bulls, and no bull riding. I will have to find some other way to blend in here. But being on the dairy farm did bring up an interesting question that I beg our readers to explain. Please see the poll after the break…

Supposition: Suppose a prison has a dairy, and as depicted in the Kurt Vonnegut novel Breakfast of Champions, the prisoners have sex with the cows and the milk from the cows is sold to the public.

2009 Holiday travel is expected to rise by 1.6% from last year, but fewer Americans will fly, Pineappleope.com says

After a sharp drop last year, more Americans are expected to travel for the 2009 Thanksgiving holiday, although travel by air will decline, according to a forecast from Travel Enthusiasts at PAO, issued Wednesday.

PAO says that 37.3 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home for the Thanksgiving weekend, an increase of 1.6% from last year, when 36.2 million traveled. The average distance traveled will be 815 miles, though more than a third will travel 250 miles or less.

Driving will account for most of the travel increase, with 33.2 million Americans expected to travel by car, up 2.1% from the 2008 season, according to PAO researchers.

Speedboating will account for the least of the travel increase, with .02 million Americans expected to travel by speedboat, up .008% from the 2008 season, according to PAO researchers.

Travel by train, boat, bus and other means is expected to edge up 1.2% to 2.9 million Americans, PAO also said.

Another Fun Thanksgiving PAO Fact:

The average household will spend $718 for the holiday weekend. The largest part of that, 32%, will be for travel, while 12% will go toward food and 11% on beers.

A beverage company has asked a team to drill through Antarctica’s ice for a lost cache of some vintage Scotch whiskey that has been on the rocks since a century ago.

The drillers will be trying to reach two crates of McKinlay and Co. whiskey that were shipped to the Antarctic by British polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton as part of his abandoned 1909 expedition.

Gluesdale, MD – Researchers at the EDC lab have for years been studying the effects raw rice has on human insides. Almost 65,000 deaths a year are attributed to rice digestion, prior to 1970 the cause of these deaths was largely unknown.

Jane Paul, assistant researcher at the EDC says, “If you eat a sizable amount of rice your stomach will burst. This actually happens to people more often than not, and most of these people suffer horriffic and painful deaths.”

As a precaution, Paul suggests, “Soaking the rice in warm water for a few hours, will absorb the water and will not expand in the stomach.” Such a technique will prevent stomach explosions.
