Someone had a fun idea on the internet this week: Chicken Offsets!
Hi! I'm Ted Frank and I love the chicken sandwiches at Chick-fil-A. But I also like my gay-married friends and don't like the guilt of indirectly supporting Chick-fil-A's stance on gay rights. And I know there are lots of other people in the same boat. So I've started ChickenOffset.com. Every time you buy a chicken-sandwich meal at Chick-fil-A, you can buy an "offset" here. You can print out the receipt and demonstrate to your friends that the money you gave for LGBT youth more than compensates for the profits you put in Chick-fil-A's coffers.
What would you like to have offsets for?

ddstory.livejournal.comCrazy tape on Olympians: does it work?
Athletes and physical trainers swear by the stretchy tape, but the evidence is fuzzy.
THE GIST
* Elastic therapeutic tape made a highly visible appearance on athletes in all sorts of Olympic sports.
* Athletes and physical therapists say the tape reduces inflammation and pain, and improves performance.
* The evidence is still fuzzy on if or how the tape works, leaving open the possibility of a powerful placebo effect.
( It's called Kinesiology tape and is a chiropractic invention... )
Has anyone tried it? Is the placebo being nice to you? ;)
