Don’t you just love facts that are counter intuitive. Scientists have recently discovered that people who like to cogitate (think!) are more inclined to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. Honestly, when does the absurdity of life end and the rational fun and joy begin. So stop thinking. It’s bad for your health. We suggest lying in a hammock for most of the day. Just make sure your not in the flight path of birds building nests. Things can get messy.

Mental agility dropped every year among Alzheimer’s disease patients with each additional year of education, leading to an additional 0.3 percent deterioration, the researchers from the Columbia University Medical Center in New York found. The speed of thought processes and memory were particularly affected.
