Remembering Sarah Burke; Scientists Can't Find G-Spot
weekly web roundup: 3 things you need to knowcanada
(Jan.20.12)
* A major tragedy hit professional sports yesterday, when X-games champion, freestyle skier and superstar Canadian athlete Sarah Burke succumbed to a major injury. Burke fell into a coma after a nasty fall on the superpipe while training for the X-games, and eventually died from cardiac arrest. Shocked athletes and sports fans are paying their respects all over Twitter and the interwebs. We can't help but hurt for her family. [USA Today]
* In the latest Nike news, the sports retailer announced the launch of Nike+ Fuelband. The new device measures all physical activity and counts it as fuel, allowing users to keep track of how active they are. Users can set goals, and the band changes from red lights (sedentary) towards green lights, the more activity you participate in. Sounds like an easy way to keep track of all those stairs. [Geek.com]
* And in news that may not be news to most women, scientists have officially announced that there may not be such a thing as a G-Spot after all. They've been searching for 60 years, and still can't find any proof — after hundreds of ultrasounds and tissue samples — that the erogenous zone exists. [DailyMail]
