Common Sport-Related Injuries and How to Fix ‘Em. Essentially, it’ll be like a first aid/first responder situation wherein you can become your own paramedic-of-sorts. We’ll throw around various situations like:

-Differentiating Heat Exhaustion from Heat Stroke from Heat Cramps (commonly seen in most outdoor sports like running and cycling)

and how to treat them

-The above might be a great segue to addressing dehydration and maintaining water-electrolyte balance–this is if your other guest, Noelle, doesn’t cover this in her running topic

-The importance of stretching and which type comes first- dynamic or static stretching before working out or doing sports

-Treating sprains and strains and the importance of P.R.I.C.E.

-How to treat “Epistaxis” aka “nosebleed”

-What to do during when someone gets struck by lightning (sounds silly but it could actually happen)

-What to do when someone gets a bad allergic reaction and also goes into an “anaphylactic shock.” I.e. bee stings, venomous bug bites

-Putting together a first aid kit/a list of emergency hotlines

-Signing up for a CPR/AED class

Bizarre World Sex Records

World’s Most Prolific Mother (69 babies)

Feodor Vassilyev (1707-1782), was a peasant from Shuya, Russia. Though not noteworthy himself, his first wife, Valentina Vassilyeva, set the record for most children birthed by a single woman. She gave birth to total of 69 children; however, few other details are known of her life, such as her date of birth or death. She gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets between 1725 and 1765, in a total of 27 births. 67 of the 69 children born survived infancy. The modern world record for giving birth is held by Leontina Albina from San Antonio, Chile. Now in her mid-sixties, she claims to be the mother of 64 children. Of these, 55 are documented. The mother with the greatest number of kids that are not tiwns is Livia Ionce. This Romanian woman, 44, gave birth to her 18th child in Canada in 2008.

Fact or Fiction

A hairy swimmer will be slower in the water than a clean shaven swimmer.

FACT

It’s an idea as slick as sea creatures: Could hair slow a swimmer’s pace? A 1988 study supported the athletic benefits of being hairless. For swimmers, removing body hair decreases drag while moving through the water.

This means swimmers who get friendly with a razor before each race go farther and faster with each stroke..

Sufficiently Big Melons Can Keep You Out of Prison

You would think that the only way breasts could keep anyone from doing jail-time is if that person went back to the judge’s chambers and let him touch them for a couple of minutes. But luckily there are less sad examples of the twins providing legal representation in court, as was the case with Serena Kozakura.

In 2007 Serena Kozakura, 38, was convicted of property destruction after she allegedly kicked in the wooden doors to an unnamed man’s apartment and trashed it to hell. However, during a reenactment of the crime, Kozakura proved that the hole someone made in the door was way too small for her and her impressive 44-inch chest to crawl through.

Based on just that, the woman was acquitted. It’s probably safe to say she will never curse her massive knockers ever again after it turned out they are her own personal pair of top notch defense lawyers. Oh breasts, is there anything you cannot do?

Fact or Fiction

The actor who portrayed the “Marlboro Man” in TV and print ads for cigarettes died of lung cancer.

FACT

The tobacco industry was one of the first to advertise on television.  Phillip Morris’ campaign for their Marlboro brand of cigarettes – depicting a rugged cowboy known as the “Marlboro Man” – was one of the most successful and long running.  Conceived in 1954, the campaign ran until cigarette advertising was banned from TV in January 1971 – and continued in print for many more years.  During that time, several different men portrayed the Marlboro Man, two of whom died of lung cancer.   David McLean, who appeared in TV and print ads starting in the early ’60s, died in October 1995 at age 73.  Wayne McLaren, who posed for print ads in the ’70s, died in July 1992 at age 51.

Southern Hemisphere Hoodie-Hoo Day

Aug 22. Long awaited by our “southern-half” friends, this is the day to go outdoors at high noon and yell “Hoodie-Hoo” to chase winter and make ready for spring, only one month away.

It is s a day to chase away winter and bring in spring. After all, everyone in the northern hemisphere is sick and tired of winter at this point and a little crazy being cooped up inside all winter and not seeing the sun.

Did you know? Hoodie Hoo Day is a copyrighted holiday. It was created and is provided, courtesy of the great folks at  Wellcat.com

Moment of Zen

A relationship is nothing if every feeling and contribution is only coming from one end. You can’t only take, you have to give.

Thanks for listening to “The G-Spot”

Hope it was good for you too…
