Good news for couch potatoes

Finally, vindication for all you slouchers out there. Turns out that slouching is better for your back than sitting up straight. I could have told them that for a lot less than what they paid for this study...from the The London Times.

...Now research suggests that we would be far better off slouching and slumping. Today’s advice is to let go and recline. Using a new form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a team of radiologists have found that sitting up straight puts unneccesary strain on the spine and could cause chronic back pain because of trapped nerves or slipped discs...

So slouch proudly, you slumping slouchers!
