Friday Night Links (4/9/2010)…

YES! It’s Friday! It couldn’t come quickly enough either. I’ve got some awesome links that I scrounged up this week and you can prepare to be amazed.

• New Revolution: Old People – There are some pretty amazing statistics contained in this article, if they are true. Supposedly, of all the people to ever live past age 65, half of them are alive today. Not only that, it is really shocking that the birthrates in many of the worlds most educated countries is on a major decline – well below the rate needed to replace the aging population as it dies off. If there was any concern in the world about over-population, I recommend putting that concern to rest after reading this article.
• Leftover Food Solution – Admit it, you throw out food that could be used because it is all by its lonesome with nothing to put on it or mix it with. No more of that, now that you have the Lifehacker guide to “Iron-Cheffing” your leftovers. I just did this tonight sort of: brown rice from last night, add some tomato sauce, turkey pepperoni, and some cheese and you have yourself a nice little meal. My favorite advice from the article is when in doubt about whether you will use something before it goes bad, toss it in the freezer.
• Make Your Own Girl Scout Cookies – Is it really that time of year again? Yep. Instead of spending a fortune on a tiny box with a couple of cookies, why not make your own? My favorite? I love the Samoas (which the article calls Fijis). A rose by any other name is still as sweet, delicious, and coconutty.
• Running: Average vs Pro – You know, you watch athletes on TV and it looks like they are working hard and running fast, but do you ever think about how good they actually are? This video composites a TV analyst against a variety of college football players in the 40 yard dash. The results are amazing. Even the analyst vs the slowest guy is not really even close. The analyst gets blown away EVERY TIME! Link directly to the video in case you don’t see it embedded.
