Very interesting. I'll be curious to see whether this will have an impact on people choosing to ditch cable altogether and go with streaming alternatives (iTunes, Hulu, Netflix), or whether as a whole consumers will keep on paying through the nose.

Hopefully someone will be able to bring some closure to something on some level in that series, would be a good start :)

If you're lifting, what you want to do is to weaken your muscles enough for them to rebuild stronger. So again, starting with a weaker muscle just means that it's easier to get to the point you want. Also, as has already been mentioned, the main point is that it decreases the chance of injury. In short, keep stretching!
