Dear Crabby, Help! How should I approach a co-worker (or just people in general) about their gum-chewing habits? By gum-chewing I mean, "You sound like a pig at the trough." Seriously, adults who don't chew with their mouths closed! What's a girl to do?
Steven Weissman's Chewing Gum in Church, his latest "Yikes!" comic collection (and first full-color book), reacquaints us with a razor-tongued gang of monster-children: Li'l Bloody, Pullapart Boy, Kid Medusa, X-Ray Spence, Dead Boy and Sweet Chubby Cheeks. Things end badly for Kid Medusa, who gets bitten by a black widow spider she insists her father mailed her, spews green chunks (the same color as her serpent tresses) all over Spence, asks sweetly, "Have you any chewing gum?", hallucinates a flying unicorn is taking her to visit Dear Old Dad ("Oh, how wonderful! Do you think I should expect an allowance?"), swells up to the size of an entire room, and then (I think) explodes. Happily it is. In 1930's Manifesto of Futurist Cuisine, [Filippo Tommaso Marinetti] argues that pasta, "that i...
A recent online study in the journal Obesity finds that chewing sugar-free gum daily may have no effect on losing weight.

Torres said parents should schedule dental appointments for their children as soon as six months after their adult teeth grow. She also stressed better eating habits to younger patients; adding it's the parents' responsibility to make better choices at the grocery stores.

Just like the hand-wringing over personal computers entering the workplace in the 1980s and echoing the Web and email debates of the 1990s, enterprise IT executives and content professionals seem to be getting their collective knickers in a twist about blogs and wikis these days. Remember when executives believed email might "expose a corporation to its secrets being revealed to the outside world"? A debate about blogs and wikis in an enterprise should be centered around people, not technology. As examples of previous technology waves should show, attempting to block the technology is not the answer. Blogs and wikis, like PCs, the public Internet, and email in previous decades are like chewing gum in your hair -- they are easy to get into an enterprise, but impossible to remove without ...
CHICAGO - Can you chew gum and recover from surgery at the same time? British researchers say it's a great idea for some patients. Chewing gum may speed the return of normal bowel function after colon surgery, a new analysis of five studies suggests.
