No Shit

The Washington Post reports that a study conducted by the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston has come to the groundbreaking conclusion that you're better off being lazy and skinny than active and fat. Which is kind of odd, considering how hard it is to be active when you've lost both of your legs to Type II diabetes, unless they mean actively stuffing one's fat fucking face with yet another package of Ding-Dongs.

The ideal, of course, is to be skinny and fit, which gives one the endurance necessary to make a career out of harpooning these lumbering behemoths from the storm-tossed thwarts of your longboat, before dragging their floating carcasses back to the ship, rendering their blubber into oil and selling their bones to corset-makers.
