Multiple studies show gum chewing benefits cognitive performance. Also helpful for getting annoying tunes out of one's head.

I have fallen victim to lplo again. I thought my good nature and clean living was the reason. I've avoided it. That and the quality of content that I post.#Perplexing.

I had a case a while back where two kids were pushing their bikes on railroad tracks. They found themselves on a bridge crossing an interstate highway and a train coming. One kid got off. The other got his pedal stuck in the track and wouldn't leave it. The train hit the bike causing the kid to get knocked off the bridge. Fell onto the highway and died. The engineer and crew hit the emergency brake as soon as they saw the kids over a mile away (there was some curve to the track leading to the bridge), but it did no good. I never saw a grown man cry like the engineer did when he was asked to recount what happened. Sad deal all the way around.

Those types of things don't always reflect reality.
Did you ever watch NCIS Los Angeles? How often do you hear about federal agents having big shootouts with automatic weapons? Rarely, if ever, but on NCIS it happens 2 or 3 times per show.

This must be why teachers always ask "Did you bring enough for everyone?" - not to discourage one student from chewing gum, but rather to encourage ALL students to do so.
