While there’s no evidence for a historical connection between the scientific nomenclature for bananas and these fruits’ inspirational nature, I would like to use the coincidence [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’ve all heard it before…  “Exercising is good for you!” Physical activity greatly reduces the risk of dying from coronary heart disease, and also reduces the risk of developing diabetes, hypertension and colon cancer. It enhances mental health, fosters healthy muscles and bones, and helps maintain health and independence in older adults. Most of us [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love that TV show Monk, about an obsessive San Francisco detective who gets all freaked out at the slightest breach of hygiene.  I wonder how he would feel about this new environmental movement? You see, down there in South America a revolution has started.  Its a streaming revolution, led by an army of urinators, taking [...]]]></description>
