...Tryptophan makes you sleepy. It's in turkey. It it improves your mood too, it must be almost like being high. "Recent studies show that eating just one banana will begin to bring on a sort of 'natural high.'" That'll get all the potheads to try it ^_^

Through a Rapist's Eyes (No Joke)

A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1. The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2. The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who's clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3. They also look for women on their mobile phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking, because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4. The time of day men are most likely to attack and rape a woman is in the early morning, between 5 and 8:30 a.m.

5. The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location, where they don't have to worry about getting caught.

6. Only 2% said they carried weapons because rape carries a 3 - 5 year sentence but rape with a weapon is 15 - 20 years.

7. If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming.

8. These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas, or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands. Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you're not worth it.

9. Several defense mechanisms he taught us are: If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in a lift or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk, "I can't believe it is so cold out here, we're in for a bad winter". Now you've seen their face and could identify them in a line-up, you lose appeal as a target.

10. If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell "Stop" or "Stay back!" Most of the rapists talked to said they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

PLEASE READ, THEN INFORM THIS TO EVERY WOMAN YOU KNOW! IT'S SIMPLE STUFF BUT IT COULD SAVE LIVE

Bananas truly are the world's best food (for us and the primates, anyway). Before reading Skylah's post I had also talked to my friend about bananas at one time. He is a professional chef and has gone through many years of nutrition and food study and he said that, without a doubt, the healtiest food that exists for us is the banana, a hands-down, no-contest winner, and he sited many of the reasons above.

Also, one thing I didn't see on there: Bananas help prevent soreness of muscles after working out, a must-have for any serious athelete.

That's because the Banana has a lot of Potassium which is really good for you but i don't remember why lol.

ah now I get to shine Smile

Bananas have a great value of Poassium (K+)
Potassium is part of what battles against fatigue and lactic acid. Lactic acid is the chemical release from your muscle after a workload is placed on them. Potassium and Sodium (Na) are the two big energy helpers. When Lactic acid leaks, it pulls away Potassium. Also Potassium is seeped up while you are working out and even for a while after you are done...so that in a summary is why bananas are wonderful.

By the way...I may not be a female....but I am going to use some of what you said up there about rape in my summer safety report on base

good info....I don't teach alot of female self defense in my karate classes...maybe I will start now...remember girls...if some creep tries to nab you...don't always aim for the crotch...if you aim a little lower on the inside of the leg with your toes or knee...you can sever the femoral artery and severely disable anyone instantly...plus when the cops do a report you can easily say you reacted out of fear... Smile

I don't like to be publicly morbid...but I would hate to see anyone get taken advantage of
