1. Confusing Tweet of the Day

Maybe it's just the long weekend in NYC, but I can't seem to make heads or tails out of this one:

UPDATE: Early reports mistakenly saying Hillary Clinton was released from hospital have been confirmed to be untrue.

@NBCNews

Oh to be alive in this wonderful "information age!"


2. True Tweet of the Day

"Don't worry, yelling at players and coaches through your TV really does have an impact. It's science."
@espn

True story. It's science.

As Jesse Pinkman would say... "Yay, Science!"

Study Suggests Lower Mortality Risk for People Deemed to Be Overweight

By PAM BELLUCK

Published: January 1, 2013 59 Comments

A century ago, Elsie Scheel was the perfect woman. So said a 1912 article in The New York Times about how Miss Scheel, 24, was chosen by the “medical examiner of the 400 ‘co-eds’ ” at Cornell University as a woman “whose very presence bespeaks perfect health.”

Miss Scheel, however, was hardly model-thin. At 5-foot-7 and 171 pounds, she would, by today’s medical standards, be clearly overweight. (Her body mass index was 27; 25 to 29.9 is overweight.)

 

But a new report suggests that Miss Scheel may have been onto something. The report on nearly three million people found that those whose B.M.I. ranked them as overweight had less risk of dying than people of normal weight. And while obese people had a greater mortality risk over all, those at the lowest obesity level (B.M.I. of 30 to 34.9) were not more likely to die than normal-weight people.

The report, although not the first to suggest this relationship between B.M.I. and mortality, is by far the largest and most carefully done, analyzing nearly 100 studies, experts said.

Of course, the downside of this is that these people are going to be around for far too long.

Although, there's probably more than one...

6.  Celtics quote of the day

Ok, its from a few days ago but it was new to me:

"These are dog days. This is really where you really see who's with you. Ain't nobody cheering, ain't no lights on us and I love this right now. Because this is where all the plastic people melt right here."

7.  Lakers quote of the day

“Cause we’re old as shit. What do you want? We just got to figure out how to play when we don't have that energy... You just saw an old damn team."

8. Christie Quote of the Day

I have to admit, I kinda wish this guy was my Governor... the only problem is nailing down which is actually the best..

Let's put it to a vote:


1)  "I think, unfortunately, folks are putting politics ahead of their responsibilities. It's absolutely disgraceful... It's why the American people hate Congress."


2) "Last night politics was placed before our oaths to serve our citizens. For me it was disappointing and disgusting to watch. If the people of New Jersey feel betrayed today by those who did this in the House last night, then they have good company. I'm with them."

 3) "Fuck it, I'm going to White Castle."


Ok, I made one of those up.
