Why Is Victor Wembanyama The Greatest NBA Prospect Since LeBron James?
Victor Wembanyama is considered one of the most exciting basketball prospects in recent years, drawing comparisons to some of the greatest players in the game. There are several reasons why Wembanyama has generated significant buzz and high expectations. Here are a few key factors contributing to his hype:
Picture of the Day
Bruce Lee training routine, 1960’s
Bruce had me up to three miles a day, really at a good pace. We’d run the three miles in twenty-one or twenty-tow minutes. Just under eight minutes a mile [Note: when running on his own in 1968, Lee would get his time down to six-and-a-half minutes per mile].
So this morning he said to me “We’re going to go five.”
I said, “Bruce, I can’t go five. I’m a helluva lot older than you are, and I can’t do five.”
Life Advice From Healthy And Happy 80-Year-Olds
Some of us may have some anxiety or fear about aging into our older decades.
In my line of work as a medical doctor, I meet many folks who are in their 70s and 80s. All have varying levels of health and functioning. A few “exceptional” ones that stand out to me are happy, healthy, and highly functioning.
I started asking these individuals and couples for their “secrets” of aging well. These were their most common advice:

1. Shot in the arm when I was young when I got caught in the middle of a drive by shooting.
You know in the movies where a gun goes off and there’s a sudden look of shock on the victim’s face before he looks at the wound? That’s very accurate. I did not feel any pain or anything. I heard the gunshot and felt a tight pressure in my arm. I looked and saw the wound and how much blood I was losing, and the next thing I know I’m in the hospital.”

Why Do Chefs Hate Cooking Well-Done Steaks
The problem is that it’s impossible to cook a well done steak that will hold up to the standards of just about any chef. We know that a well done steak will lose a lot of moisture and flavor. We only want to send food out that meets our standards, and that’s not really possible if the steak is being cooked well done.
Doesn’t matter to you, right? But we don’t know that. We know we’re sending out an inferior piece of meat, and our job is to impress the customer. What if they don’t like it, and then blame us?
Picture of the Day
Pubic wigs (called Merkins) were worn by prostitutes as early as the 1450s. The reason for this accessory was that pubic hair was considered popular and attractive, but sex workers shaved their lower parts to avoid pubic lice and used merkin to cover up STD’s from their clients.
In Hollywood film production, merkins may be worn by actors and actresses to avoid exposing genitalia during nude or semi-nude scenes. The presence of the merkin protects the actor from inadvertently performing “full frontal” nudity – some contracts specifically require nipples and genitals to be covered in some way – which may help ensure the film achieves a less restrictive MPAA rating.
The Oxford English Dictionary dates the first written use of the term to 1617. The word probably originated from malkin, a derogatory term for a lower-class young woman, or from Marykin, a pejorative way of saying the female name Mary.
