Powerhouse Performance Coaching have offered a free game (worth $19.99).

Hit the Deck is a simple game that uses a timer and cards: "Set the timer, draw your first card, and do as many repetitions as you can. When the timer beeps, draw your next card."

The length of your workout will be determined by how many cards you perform and the duration you set on the programmable interval timer.

So no doubt, in the eyes of the customer, cheaper is better. But Burger King's $1 double cheeseburger is no good for Burger King franchises.

That's why the franchises are now suing their corporate overlord, claiming the $1 special is forcing them to sell cheeseburgers at a loss.

Vicki Larrieux, a 22-year-old student, claims she is unable to keep to a healthy diet because she is frightened of vegetables. Now I know what you're thinking "Isn't that most of the Western world?" Incredibly enough, Larrieux suffers from a "legitimate" condition called lachanophobia - a fear of vegetables.
