Exercise can be dangerous... better to be a couch potato. R.I.P. Mr. Walzer and condolences to his friends and loved ones.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

That struck me as a bit odd too, if I see any more HH specific news items in the PTY press I'll pop them on here.
