Maybe? Small ones? As a Science Interpreter Emeritus, I ask: couldn't it possibly be good to lube up some faults and relieve seismic pressure? Fracking just might save the Midwest from the next New Madrid super-quake.

Whoa... Funyuns! This was one of my go-to chip choices as a kid.
Some good old-fashioned HIITs. This research is pretty amazing (can you really get that fit in two 20-minute workouts a week?). And (I feel like this a guy thing, because I feel like I have to prepare myself to be a human shield for my family, able to wrest a knife or gun from a surprise attacker at any moment) I love the visceral feel of all-out, do-or-die sprinting, both during and after.

Exactly.

(Although I should point out that fracking is probably worth pursuing if the frackers had to comply with the Clean Water Act. Which they don't. Which can result in combustible water faucets.)

All I know is that when the wife and I start fracking, I sure feel the earth move, baby...
