Leverage!

I really enjoyed the season premiere of Leverage. The team chemistry is still there!

In short, a great start. We get seven episodes this summer, none with Jeri Ryan. She doesn't show up til the winter eight.

Swearing can make you feel better

Swearing can make you feel better, lessen physical pain
Researchers in Britain have found that swearing can lessen pain. Volunteers were asked to submerge their hands in ice water for as long as possible as they repeated a swear word of their choosing. Then the test was repeated using commonplace words. The findings showed that those who were swearing kept their hands in the ice water longer. "What is clear is that swearing triggers not only an emotional response, but a physical one too, which may explain why the centuries-old practice of cursing developed and still persists today," according to researcher Richard Stephens. Looks like those bad words can be good after all.

And someone got a grant for it, too :)
