Sugar is an addictive substance, just like caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol. And whilst we all know that a diet high in sugar can cause obesity, heart disease, cancer and diabetes, it is now also linked to a wide range of other serious health conditions, such as poor brain development in children, cataracts - even Alzheimer's. Quite simply, our excess intake of sugar, from the spoonfuls we tip into our tea to the high levels of fructose hidden in packaged foods, is making us fat and sick, and is prematurely aging our skin.

Some point in our lives we've been in a position with our friends or someone that may have a significant impact on our lives that we do things we may regret, but we do it anyway and suffer the consequences either immediate or later on.

The night finally arrived and all the people of the Earth thought they were going to a better place, but they were dead wrong. The sky was bloodred then out of nowhere came loud thunder followed by blinding white lightning.

The sun that used to shine so bright that every man, woman and child took for granted was nothing more than a dot like a flashlight with weak batteries that you hit with your hand several times in hopes light will shine.

Rumor has it that Dr. Spencer and a team of scientists were working on reverse engineering on a UFO that crash landed on a farm about 25 miles from the XJ7 facility. It wasn't the Government that these scientists had to fear it was the aliens that were recovered from the crash site about keeping it secret.

Here again, I will be gracing another major subject with my irreproachable wisdom and my brain-flipping intelligence, in this audiobook. I doubt that there is a single evolutionist who can match wits with me because I am a student of life and of nature. My own self-administered studies are far greater than those that can be offered by universities and schools (not to degrade the importance of them for most people) or by attaining educational degrees and credentials (also very important for the right people).

While the solution I offer to the growing problem of restaurant patrons blowing their noses outwardly and openly within public dining rooms, is simple and that I could have easily stated within a single paragraph, this would be a lost opportunity. I say this because my example and solution for only one problem we may experience during our stay at a public eatery, is simply that..."an example". I am using what might be the single most disgusting behavioral act that can be perpetrated but not hidden, by a fellow restaurant-patron, being that of "dining room nose blowing".

Among the subjects covered in this audiobook are time travel, living prehistoric monsters of the deep, Alfred Hitchcock - a master of Sci-Fi as well as suspense, Bigfoot, and UFOs - a subject of reality and science fiction.
