I haven't felt one in a while, but there have been a few 4's along the San Andreas lately. That website is fast, The earthquake is usually there before it's on the radio or TV.

Howstuffworks "How Hangovers Work"

Here's a site I can relate to with both sides of my brain.
How Stuff Works is just what it sounds like, explanations of the workings of lots of stuff. But then I notice this article: "How Hangovers Work"

A related link from the above article:
Hangover products reviewed.

UPDATE:
What I get from all this is, the best cure is prevention.
Do these things before you get a hangover:
1> Eat before you drink.
2> Drink plenty of water (or gatorade).
3> Take aspirin, not acetaminophen.
4> Hangover pills containing charcoal do help.

Choose Your Weapon!

My #1 result for the SelectSmart.com selector, Medieval Weaponry and You, is Battle-axe - A larger than average axe designed for battle field use alone.

My #2 result for the SelectSmart.com selector, Medieval Weaponry and You, is Great Sword - A large two handed sword which is usually about as tall as the wielder. It easily crushes bones when it strikes if it doesn't sever the limb outright.

My #3 result for the SelectSmart.com selector, Medieval Weaponry and You, is Scythe - A farming emplement turned weapon. It has a pole which is usually about 6' long with a long curving blade. The blade is usually sharp on the inside edge only.

Take the quiz.
