Humans weren’t built to consume cow milk. Most babies come with lactose digesting enzymes built in because milk is all they eat, but as we grow up and sprout teeth, we no longer need to receive all of out nutrients via boobies. In non-pastoral societies, many people become lactose intolerant as they grow up but in cultures where dairy is a common dietary component, the lactose digesting enzyme sticks around. Before pasteurization was implemented, not a ton of people consumed milk since it had a very short shelf-life and developed the tendency to infect the consumer with bovine tuberculosis. No body wanted TB, so long ago, the general public started shunning the opaque beverage. This caused a problem. The problem was that people stopped getting enough calcium to maintain healthy bones. The solution was pasteurization. Bada bing! No more TB and people could once again enjoy milk and calcium. The problem with this was that people still didn’t trust cow milk yet. Dairy farmers were suffering. While all of this leeriness towards milk was going on, the industrial revolution began to take place. Kids were heading into factory jobs before the sun came up and going home after dark so they were not receiving any sunlight. The problem with no sunlight is that the body is not able to produce Vitamin D. The problem with not making Vitamin D, is that the body is not able to synthesize calcium and maintain solid bone structure. Rickets is the disease that is suffered when bones become soft due to lack of calcium. Rickets can deform the legs, pelvis and any other weight-bearing bones. This leads to becoming crippled or even death. No one wants Rickets. The Dairy companies came up with a solution that saved everyone. They infused milk with synthetic Vitamin D and encouraged folks to drink boat loads of it so that they would once again get calcium and Vitamin D, even though they didn’t get a lot of sunlight. People swarmed out to buy milk and rickets became a disease of the past. The end.

This is kind of farfetched, but I’m kinda starting to believe that aliens are really just humans from the future who have developed means to time travel.  Think about it. Your typical big-headed, bulgy-eyed, frail-bodied, little, green alien appears to be built in just the direction we are headed. With humans growing smarter and smarter as the years progress and intelligence equaling power now more than ever, it’s no surprise that we will eventually evolve bigger heads to accommodate and ever expanding vault of intelligence. There is already skeletal evidence that suggests that human’s heads are evolving to be larger. The average newborn’s skull does not fit through the average woman’s pelvic girdle without ripping, tearing and some breaking of the pelvis. This is not so for other animals. Other species have a much easier time giving birth than we humans do. It also makes sense for use to adapt to being bombarded by information by evolving larger, more complex eyes. With weather reports, news tickers, live footage and an anchor person all piled onto any news broadcast at one time, it would be nice to be better able to absorb it all. And since we are becoming more reliant on computers and machines, our bodies are not as useful as they once were for survival. AS far as the green skin goes, well that’s just Hollywood putting an interesting spin on things. Unless of course using nanotechnology, we are one day able to infuse ourselves with the means to photosynthesis and gain nutrients from the sun. That might make the green skin a reality.

Several offices are switching from traditional computer chairs to fit balls for their employees to sit on. Advocates for the balls claim that they are a healthy alternative to sitting in a hard chair all day while providing a more entertaining work environment. They say that sitting on an exercise ball for an extended period of time as opposed to a flat sedentary surface helps the body to engage core muscles to maintain balance in response to the instability of the ball. Over time, the muscles utilized are supposed to become stronger. Opponents say that the balls are not ergonomic and can cause back problems if used more than for just exercise. The argument for this position is that while back muscles are being used to stabilize the the ball, the constant pressure of the muscle in motion can compress the spine, which if maintained, can permanently damage the intervertebral discs. Even more pressure is placed on the disks by sitting with the pelvis rolled in, which is how most people tend to balance on the ball for an extended time period.
Other arguments for the balls include whether or not they are too distracting to the workplace and if the benefits outweigh the risks of people misusing them or falling off backwards. While the balls may be a fun alternative to hours in a chair, most people agree that they should not be the primary seat used at the office. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a few exercise balls around the office for people to relax or stretch out on though.
