cheshire (Mary Vogt):
There's a village on the lower Eastern shore
Where the watermen's boats are anchored
And they work so hard all day long
Showing me, what you want you go after
All these years I've been pushing so hard
Through high times and low times too
But if I stop now
How could I know what I could do?
Bruce Hornsby and the Range, "The Long Race"

rfrench (Robert S. French):
"In 1959, the American Cancer Society surveyed a representative sample
of over one million Americans in the San Francisco Bay Area to
determine the health and lifestyle habits most predictive of longevity
and illness. Six years later the respondents were recontacted and
mortality rates were assessed. Surprisingly, one of the best guides
for predicting which respondents would be alive at the six-year
follow-up period was how long they slept. In some age groups males
with a history of 4 hours of sleep per day were ten times more likely
to have died than those who slept between 7.0 and 7.9 hours. Nor was
sleeping too much a good idea: Mortality rates were twice as great for
those sleeping 10 or more hours. Even the groups who slept 8.0 to 8.9
hours or 6.0 to 6.9 hours had a greater mortality than those who slept
between 7.0 and 7.9 hours..."

shanzer (Michael S. Shanzer):
I've waited six hundred years to super-glue your lips together
and staple gun your feet to the floor.
