(Alliteration included as standard)
So it occurred to me that we have a lot of intelligent and learned people on this forum, many of whom have expertise in a wide range of different areas, but we don't always take advantage of this fact. Therefore, I thought it might be interesting to, once a month, post a tip/factoid/pieces of advice about life in general or your area of knowledge which others might find interesting or insightful. This could be anything from how to write a great essay for school, to how to cook a great piece of chicken without giving everyone food-poisoning, to how to bump-start a car down a hill.
There is only one rule: Only one tip per person, per month. So choose wisely.
I will kick it off thusly:
Always try to be aware of your posture. This is particularly relevant as there are a large number of computer nerds here, and the problem of kyphosis (the typical 'hunched old lady' posture) is one which affects many office-workers, or people who spend a lot of time looking down/hunched over laptops, mobile phones, etc. Good posture can save you a lifetime of unnecessary pain and will improve your overall muscle tone and appearance.
