    Amusing.
    I wonder what they do for a 50 mm slash right through your skin to the stuff underneath?

    Cheers

    I'm pretty sure that is equal parts ginger extract, peppermint oil, and eucalyptus simmered for an hour while meditating to Enya.

    Should work wonders for a compound fracture with a good spurting arterial bleed.

    There's one born every minute. I need to go— I'm late for my chakra adjustment.

    Guys, internet sarcasm doesn't make for good karma for the website…

    Don't bring that bad mojo up in here.

    I'll go boil up some Echinacea and try to cleanse.

    Just get right with the lord and pray on your compound fracture.
    The answer will either be: yes, no, or "wait a while"

    Yep… That pretty much covers it.

    Weight penalty: 0
    Cost: 0$ usd
    Commitment is all you need. … And a high pain tolerance

    Its the xul 1st aid.

    A friend's wife sells "essential oils" that cure all sorts of ills. He and I have learned to steer the conversation elsewhere when my wife (a double-board-certified MD) is present.

    She was telling me about some lavender oil that I apparently needed and how it feels so good to have it massaged into the soles of your feet. "I'm sure it does, but how is your husband going to feel about you giving me a foot massage?" That reined her in a little. As did my response to her outrage at her 19-year-old daughter dating a 25-year-old guy, "What is he, some kind of pedophile?!?" "Jacki, I'm 6 years older than Kristin."

    Doug, I really liked the video. I'm a Tim Minchin fan, but hadn't seen any of his animated shorts. Thanks. His song "Prejudice" has the best-ever deceptive lead-in to a great punchline. It pops right up on youtube.

    I just put my injured body part under a collapsable UL pyramid and it's "all better" in minutes.

    (But it works even better if I'm in a spiritual vortex area.;o)

    Despite my smart azz comment about the X wife I should confess that I take joint supplements every day because of her. The proof that they work for me is what happens when I quit taking them, which is lots of pain a month or two after I stop.
