Truisms

A little explanation is probably required for my truisms. These are things that I basically make up and may or may not have a shred of truth to them. The trick is in the delivery. You have to give a pretty factual presentation, preferably to someone that probably knows better.

Did you know that eating ice cream can actually make you burn more calories because your body has to warm back up?

Did you know that standing on one leg burns more calories than standing on two? First, there's twice as much weight on that one leg, but because you're using a lot more little muscles to maintain balance, you're actually doing more work.
