This headline is great for every lazy person, since cleanliness is the direct opposite of doing nothing. Researchers have found that common air fresheners and sprays are potent lung irritants.

Exposure to cleaning products could account for as much as 15%, or one in seven adult asthma cases, the researchers suggest.

On average, the risk was 30-50% higher in people regularly used the sprays than in others.

Doing housework as little as once per week is enough to raise your risk. Doing nothing all the time just raises the risk of heart attack, a fat ass, and a divorce due to your filthy home. Just as there is a way to get some else to pack your bags, you can probably get them to clean your house. Never mind the fact that you can clean without air fresheners and window sprays.

It’s hard to get kids out the door, teach them math, and then expect them to find friends - now you don’t have to. The Virtual Distance Football takes the pressure off parents by giving them a friend that they can play with for hours.

I can almost guarantee that children will try to combine the ball-ness of the VDF with the measuring powers of the toy. They’ll most likely use it to gauge the distance from the sofa to, say, your favorite lamp, the cat, or the mean old lady across the street.

Good thing the VDF is only $20, you’ll need the extra cash to pay for all of the broken items in your home and for the lawsuits you’re sure to face.

Workers across the world trying to increase the number of hours but skipping lunch are actually reducing their efficiency. Researches in Wales have found that employees are trying to juggle their personal and work-related tasks during lunch breaks and accomplish less of both.

Alan Price, of Peninsula, said, “With the emergence of email communication and online networking sites, employees are combining eating at the desk during the lunch period with completing work and surfing the net, and with an increase in the amount of employees who have access to the internet, the reasons to leave the office are slipping away.

It’s good advice to set limits around your personal work when you’re at the office to keep your mind focused, and to let your mind wander outside of the office for at least 30 minutes per day. The human brain actually processes a lot of information as we daydream. Sounds like the perfect thing to do on a Friday!

It doesn’t take much energy to make your life greener and MSN recommends 13 quick ways to do so. Aside from changing your light bulbs from tungsten to compact fluorescent you can buy renewable energy offsets and insulate your water heater - a one time deal.

The obvious way to pull the plug on so-called energy vampires is to do just that — pull the plug. If you don’t want to keep rebooting your PC, you can reduce the juice to it by putting both the monitor and the computer itself in sleep mode when they’re not in use. Computers operating on snooze control use about 95% less electricity than those running on full powers.

Pulling the pull on certain appliances may be practical (and quick for sure), if you want you computer to save energy after it’s done illegally downloading music, install the CO2 Saver. MSN’s list makes a good addition to these 10 lazy ways to save energy.

The Snap CO2 Saver is a small free application that automatically adjusts the energy settings on your computer. The CO2 Saver makes your machine runs more efficiently and use less electricity, and runs quietly n the background.

Kraft is making a new butter flavor for their microwave popcorn that contains diacetyl, which may or may not be bad for factor worker’s lungs.

Microwave popcorn is probably also screwing up your lungs too, but maybe people will feel sorry for you since you’re going to obese if you keep eating it?

Somehow we got on the topic of popcorn and now just can’t get off of it. The popcorn manufacturers are trying to clean it up, but I’m glad Kraft is saying F-you to Orville. That guy loks creepy if you ask me.

One step away from practically playing the guitar for you, Gibson has released their PowerTune self-tuning electric guitar.

The PowerTune can tune itself perfectly within 2 seconds, and can even store alternate tuning configurations. The PowerTune starts off at $899 and will save you minutes in agony, especially if you’re tone deaf.

Gibson manufacturers are also working on a guitar that snorts cocaine, has sex with underage/over-aged sluts, and dates Kate Moss (we think).
