Can someone please point her towards this site? I'd love to see a bill put forward to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide...

Heh. Penn and Teller pulled a similar stunt on their show Bullshit. They had people getting signatures to ban it at some environmental rally.

I suspect she could live off the reserves of air between her ears for quite some time.

Touche'.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

The point this person was making was, how do you both get treatment ASAP and stay home because you'll probably just get better on your own at the same time?

Once again I think this is a matter of common sense. Now, where I live you will mostl likely be going to the doctor in a private car to the doctor's office ( where there are more sick people) and then the pharmacy(unless someone else can do that part) In the case of a need for public transporation -- this might be the time to indulge in a taxi -- or at least keep you trips out of commute times when more space is possible. And I am not sure you need to run to t the doctor at teh first sign -- just if it gets worse very quickly or doesn't improve. I might not wait a week, but a few days to see what is going on seems reasonable

I kind of admire the way she can go make a speech on something that she apparently knows absolutely nothing about. It's like she suddenly discovered that CO2 has natural sources and plants use it and that these facts have somehow been missed by all the scientists who were all thinking CO2 was like chlorine gas or something.

I feel somewhat accomplished today... what with the rapidly ending good weather this week, I decided to go to Craighead Forest and try walking a circuit. I managed a 3 mile route in just 5 minutes more than I was taking regularly a couple years ago (and this park is much less level), and more importantly wasn't panting or sore at the end of it.

50 minutes of exposure even with overcast did turn me pink, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How long does it take to get bad.

Although I have no intention of catching it, so it's just an academic urge for the information.

I just envision Bachmann's Republicans colleagues in the house when she takes the floor going "Please don't be crazy, please don't be crazy, please don't be crazy, damn."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They know that a certain percentage of their constituency is crazy and must have their interests represented. So they're probably glad she's there.
