Get These Motherfucking Aches of this Motherfucking Plane.

The majority of flu transmission occurs five to seven days after a person becomes sick, meaning that about 87% of people who spread the flu know that they have it. Over 200,000 people are hospitalized every year due to flu complications, and many patients (mostly young children, pregnant women, and the elderly) pass away. Basically: if you know you have the flu and decide to board a plane, you may be committing manslaughter. Seriously.

Airplanes, which are cramped and poorly ventilated, exacerbate the spread of flu by preventing disease particles from dissipating.  However, there are four crucial things you can do to minimize the impact of flu on your holiday travels (besides simply washing your hands).

Could a form of bacteria actually make you feel better if you ate it? For the first time scientists are studying what they call the gut-brain axis and finding a link between the bacteria in your stomach and the way we feel.

In a country ruled by the Man, there are very few drugs that have remained legal. You see, in the Man’s world anything that brings pleasure—or makes your lifer easier or more tolerable—must be regarded with the utmost skepticism. From marijuana to Spanish fly, the Man has reached his buzz-killing hand across America since forever, plucking out any substance that He fears you may be enjoying too much.

Believe it or not, the Man hasn’t made everything you love illegal. But don’t you worry, the Man is tireless in his efforts to make your life as mundane as possible and eventually nothing you enjoy will remain untouched by his party-pooping fingers. Until then, I’m going to try and give you a heads up. Here is a list of the top 10 “Drugs” that will soon be illegal.

Since the early 1980s, when Venice Beach was the place to be and every guy wanted to be just like Arnold Schwarzenegger, steroids were as chic as any other drug in America. While Major League Baseball has stolen most of the spotlight, being that their player’s union fought for 20 years to keep the league free from steroid testing—resulting in players who looked primed for the WWE—all major sports have, at one time or another, had athletes that have benefited from using steroids.

We had mentioned it before but now just recently The University of California San Francisco Medical Center debuted the world's largest robotic pharmacy. Costing upwards of $15 million the ground breaking technology was created in hopes of raising productivity while reducing human error down to zero as it administers not only regular prescriptions but handles enhanced chemotherapy dosing as well. So far this space-age drug bot is batting 1.000 with not a single flub during it's initial phase-in of 350,000 doses of medication at the hospital.  iMedicalApps has more on the story including a video press release from the university.
