...confused shoppers. Butterbean hits Knoxville, sending him down. Knoxville gets up twice before going down for good. As Knoxville falls the third time, his skull catches the corner of a jewelry counter, and blood spurts from his head, creating a growing pool on the carpet.

Researchers at the University of Michigan studied 866 children and found that 22% of the habitual snorers had high hyperactivity scores, compared with only 12% of the non-snorers.

A study finds that snoring sleepyheads are twice as likely to suffer a stroke as ordinary snoozers. How come? The odd sleep patterns may be a sign of sleep apnea, a condition in which breathing briefly stops throughout the night--possibly disrupting blood flow to the brain...
