Pudding, Ice Cream and Violence.....

Ok, to the first one.... The guy that turned $3000 of pudding cups into over a million airline miles is a true story. Not only is it all over the internet, but People magazine, USAToday and Time magazine all did stories on it.

On the ice cream fiasco, the only reference I could find about antifreeze and ice cream had to do with the antifreeze proteins that are put into the ice cream to keep the ice crystals away. What are antifreeze proteins you might ask.... I have no idea.

Finally, the violence and superbowl... I got a lot of conflicting information regarding this. According to an Urban Legands website (www.snopes.com) it is false, yet they quote a study that was done from a sociology professor that found it to be true just not to the extent originally thought. So my theory is that yes, domestic violence escalates, but not to any significant level. No more than on a soccer game day in Ireland.

    Snopes has been, in my view, very reliable.
