So, I've been watching the baseball world series and wondering about those necklaces the players are wearing so I looked it up online. I mean, Thank GOD that Al Gore invented the internet or I'd just go on being dumb...but maybe not as dumb as those athletically talented players in the world series. So apparently the bands have liquid titanium poured into them during manufacture and this assures optimal performance by enhancing electron flow through the player's body, reducing muscle stress, and maximizing performance. Some players have more than one and YOU TOO can buy one on the official MLB website for only $50 plus shipping and handling. You can read about it here: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/22/sports/baseball/22shea.html and here: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2010/11/01/athletic-rope-necklaces-medicine-fashion-statement-1450413663/ And I guess I'm a bit behind the times because the first article is from 2005! Where have I been all this time? So, I'm reading this to my husband who reminds me that I had asked him about those arm bands that NFL players wear...well, guess what? Now at least the NFL players are not quite as gullible...but, not much better. You can read about it here: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=719552 haha, they're for decoration. If you wear white, it makes your arms look bigger and it makes you look faster because the flashing white catches your eye. Depending on where on your arm you put them, they'll "add size" to your arms (optical illusion). that's about it. Black arm bands don't really add or take away from your "size" or "speed" but they're a good decoration. Just another way for Under Armour to make a buck. and here: http://www.kentucky.com/2008/09/24/534460/armbands-are-decorations-for-football.html And again, that last one is from 2008, so where have I been hiding my head all this time? Sigh. I'm sure there's a critical thinking teaching moment here some place. Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.
