It’s Monday, and do you have a meeting?
Researchers talked to workers about VIRTUAL meetings, and found that the average American is able to handle a meeting for 26 MINUTES without falling asleep. But then it can go downhill fast . . . and by minute 27, we're zoning out.
That seems dramatic, but we've all sat down for a Zoom . . . felt alert and motivated . . . only for our energy and concentration to slowly DRAIN out of our increasingly lifeless bodies.
32% of people who do virtual meetings say they experience "screen fatigue" . . . and 40% say their "eye health" is deteriorating.

A new survey asked people if they had to pick a lane, would they rather have GOURMET food or COMFORT food for the rest of their lives?
70% of people said they'd prefer comfort food. 16% said gourmet food.
They didn't really define each, but it sounds like comfort food was more like chicken wings, pasta, pizza, and burgers, while gourmet food was more like the stuff you'd get at a fancy restaurant.
And some people would be willing to go to extremes to eat their favorite meal of ALL TIME.
40% of people would take a 20-hour flight to get it
17% would bike for 300 miles for it
14% would walk for 200 miles to get it.

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - Knock-knock jokes got popular in the 1930s when a guy named Alf Landon was running for president against FDR. He picked a former Army colonel named Frank Knox as his vice-presidential candidate, and knock-knock jokes about him were a hit.
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
A broken pencil.
A broken pencil who?
Never mind. It’s pointless.
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Nobel.
Nobel who?
No bell. That’s why I knocked.
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Cows go.
Cows go who?
No, silly. Cows go moo!
