RLS

You may have been comfortable not knowing this existed, but I’m about to clue you in on a new drug. It’s called Requip, and it can treat Restless Leg Syndrome. That’s right, you read correctly.

Straight from TreatRLS.com:

Do you have trouble falling asleep because of strange sensations in your legs? Do you dread long business meetings, going to the movies, or traveling on an airplane because you know your restless legs won’t let you sit still?

What is “bump”?

I have been spending a fair amount of time on forums these days. One constantly confusing post that I would see is a single word, “bump”, with no other content in the post.

Finally, after seeing it today, I decided to look up the answer:

To bump a thread on an Internet forum is to post a reply to it purely in order to raise the thread’s profile. This will typically return it to the top of the list of active threads. BUMP is sometimes used as a backronym for “Bring Up My Post/Post count” or as a recursive acronym “Bump Up My Post”.
