By far the most dangerous creature on Earth is back with a vengeance in Missouri. No, it's not black bears, black widow spiders or even Mo-Mo. What's more dangerous than Mo-Mo? It's the critter that kills more people every single year than any other living creature and the problem is worse in Missouri than just about any other place.

I would argue that laziness is a subjective kind of thing. There are times I'm working really hard, but it looks like I'm loafing or at least let's pretend. What is the laziest city in all of Missouri? I can tell you one thing. This lazy place doesn't even care one little bit.

Have you ever heard something that was stated as a fact and immediately question it? That just happened to me when I heard that St. Louis had been named one of the healthiest cities in America - allegedly.

I didn't realize that there are a lot of fish you can catch in Missouri that you're advised not to eat or at least limit the amount you intake. There are various reasons why, but I've accumulated a rather large list of finned creatures that may or may not be good for you in the Show Me State.

Think flu season is over? Think again. One Missouri county just reported that during the last month alone, they had more than 2,000 cases of the sickness reported.

There's no cause for real alarm yet, but there is reason for an abundance of caution. There's a new drug-resistant superbug that's making it's way across the United States and a new map shows Illinois is becoming a hotspot.

This is one of those internet ranking things where I'd really like to know why. Missouri has just been ranked as one of the worst states in America when it comes to life expectancy. Let's see if we can figure out why the Grim Reaper seems to love the Show Me State.

It's been said that there's only one thing that everyone has in common and that's the fact that we're all dying. What a happy thought. If you take a look at statistically what the top 10 causes of death are in Missouri, you'll find some that might surprise you.

There is a terrible bacterial outbreak that has been associated with blindness and death in several cases. There is a possible connection to eye drops that have been available in Illinois and are now under a national recall alert.

There's a new advisory from the CDC about an outbreak of listeria in several states including Illinois connected to what they believe are deli meats and cheeses.
