Chiropractic San Diego

The Founder of Virgin Group, Sir Richard Branson (one of my heros) and Google have announced Project Virgle, for the establishment of a permanent human settlement on Mars.

According to the announcement, which appeared today on The Official Google Blog, the two companies have teamed up to move humanity beyond Earth, and establishing a lasting foothold on the planet Mars.

According to the reports they’ll be sending up a series of spaceships carrying supplies, tools and Mars colonists, or Virgle Pioneers. I’ve already taken the The Adventure of Many Lifetimes exam and I’m ready to go.

I figure all those Virgilists are going to need chiropractic care, especially with that cramped three-month journey from Earth to Mars and a potentially bumpy flight.

Chiropractic for the planet and beyond!

West Los Angeles: A chiropractors assistant has reportedly discovered a large sum of money that was stuffed into a paper bag and placed inside a trash can located just inside the office’s front door. The El Salvadorian born chiropractic assistant was giddy with excitement when I spoke to her over the phone Monday, about the Sunday evening discovery.

It’s a great day at ADIO Chiropractic exclaimed the voice on the other end of the line. It was the excited and cheerful voice of Rosa Vertega, the 26 year old chiropractors assistant, who had made the fortuitous discovery less than 24 hours prior. I found out about the story while checking RSS feeds on a chiropractor’s e-mail group. The chiropractor from the office posted a seemingly hypothetical question as to what the office should do in the case of discovering a large sum of money. I had a suspicion the situation for real so I quickly called to get more details.

As Rosa explained, trash for the office was being emptied late Sunday evening when the money was discovered. The office is environmentally conscious and maintains several trash cans that are specifically labeled Face Paper Only. According to the office staff, this is so patients don’t mix ordinary trash with the recyclable paper that is used on chiropractic adjusting tables.

The last scheduled time the chiropractic office cared for clients was on Friday, as the office was closed Saturday. Rosa was in the office Sunday evening, along with the chiropractor, wrapping up paperwork for the end of March 2008 and taking care of some minor office cleaning. The discovery was made when the cash stuffed brown paper bag was found mixed in with white face paper destined for the recycle bin.

“I thought someone had accidentally thrown their lunch in the recycle container, since when I felt the bag it had some weight to it” said Rosa. “I opened the bag and was like Oh My God! I quickly looked around to see if someone was playing some sort of joke on me.”

The trashcan where Rosa found the money is located just a few feet from the front door, and the office is part of a very busy shopping center with a lot of walk by foot traffic. She said it’s not the first time someone has put other items in the can intended for paper products only, but there’s never been anything in it like this.

The office typically sees many clients on Fridays and it was initially assumed that the cash belonged to someone visiting the chiropractic practice. Staff spent a good part of Monday morning calling every scheduled person that visited the chiropractors office the previous Friday, asking if they’d lost or left anything in the office. No one has yet reported the money missing.

The bag of cash was placed on a Pitney Bowes postage scale and it reportedly weighed in at over half a pound. While the office would not share how much cash was actually in the sack, I estimated that a bag of that weight, filled primarily with hundred dollar bills, could hold as much as $100,000 or maybe even more.

The funds were turned over to local authorities Monday evening, and Rosa was told that the office could become owners of the cash if no one claimed it within the next 30 days. She said she wants to do the right thing, but she’s more than happy to split the funds with her chiropractic boss, should the opportunity come up. “It’s going to be a crazy April” said the girl with this huge smile on her face…

Healingtree clinic specializes in decompression therapy. Upon transfer of ownership, clinic equipments, decompression table and furniture are included. Currently this clinic is not owned by a chiropractic practitioner but through a hired help. Even with the extra overhead of hired chiropractor, the clinic generated sufficient income. Business would be much more profitable if owned and operated by a chiropractor.

April Fools’ Day is one day away, and you can expect April Fools’ Day pranks, practical jokes, and other shenanigans coming from a wide variety of sources. There’s the traditional sources for April Fools’ Day gags, such as friends and coworkers, but with the growth of the Internet, and the opportunity for web traffic, don’t be surprised if some big media outlets try playing you for a fool on April 1, 2008.

April Fools’ Day can be a fun time playing jokes on friends and family, but don’t be surprised to see April fools pranks coming from major media sources online, particularly with stories that appear rather outlandish. It can be hard to tell which stories may be pranks or true, especially since there’s so much you’re never going to believe this type of news appearing these days.

Consider news aggregating websites like Truemors (cofounded by Guy Kawasaki), that features stories on a regular basis with titles such as: Python Eats Alligator and Explodes, Smoking Safer Than Cell Phones, Supermarket Selling Stolen Credit Cards, and British Students Create Cat Dentures (note: these were actual recent headlines and none are related to April fools).

With a presidential election approaching this year, there’s no doubt that someone will attempt a political April fools joke, involving news of one of the three (or maybe even all three) presidential hopefuls (Clinton, Obama, McCain). The way things spread so quickly on the Internet, I imagine a politically based April fools prank could result in a sticky situation for the prankster, prankstees, or both.

Were sure to hear about some new Internet service or a new mobile device that features some kind of unbelievable service. I also expect there will be April fools jokes played involving popular social media sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Digg.

I don’t know what pranksters have in store for us this April Fools Day, but let’s hope it doesn’t involve anybody getting injured, ill, or put in danger. Pranks using laxatives are caffeine are not uncommon, but they can prove to be dangerous for some individual (especially when mixed with other medications).

This being a chiropractic website, I have to mention that chiropractors are most likely to fall for April Fools’ Day phone calls from their colleagues and patients. I can recall two that have been popular over the years. They both involve calling the chiropractor’s office and scheduling for a new appointment. One involves a sense of urgency as the person calling has “thrown their back out” lifting large sacks of money. The caller wants to know if the office accepts cash for payment (most offices do) which is followed by gratefulness and praise from the caller, since the individual is on their way after just having robbed a local bank.

So on April 1, 2008, watch out for pranks and practical jokes, as the Internet and cell phones become tools used to deliver pranks to unsuspecting fools.
