An article on the web caught my attention, it asks how much do you know about your heart.
Heart 101:
Over a 70-year lifetime the average heart will beat 2.5 billion times. Each day the heart pumps out 2,000 gallons of blood through the body. Diet, exercise, blood pressure and genetics all play a role in keeping this hard working muscle in tip-top shape!
My interpretation:
Heart 101: band from Bellevue, Washington, led by sisters Anne and Nancy Wilson- big in the 80's and 90's with hits like "Crazy on You", "Alone", "All I Wanna Do is Make love to You"- with the popular video that promotes male-date rape and keeping children from knowing who their daddy is, and currently unhappy with McCain (and un-Able) for using "barracuda" as a theme song at the RNC.
Over a 70-year span the average heart will beat 2.5 billion times, unless you are Edward Cullen, have met Buffy the Vampire Slayer or are named Dick Cheney (there's no valid proof he has one). 2,000 gallons of blood a day? Where does it all come from? Given that a gallon of water weighs 8+ pounds...that means that about 16,000 pounds of blood moves through you a day! Imagine what it must be like for Drew Carey!
Diet, exercise and blood pressure keep it in tip top shape? How ever is Hulk Hogan still alive? And I thought Angelina Jolie was the hardest working muscle around!

Very glad you gave a well-deserved shout out to Barracuda.
yes, otherwise I might "burn burn burn to the wick..."
Heart's Barracuda is also featured in Guitar Hero III and is therefore enjoying a resurgence.
