This is why the FDA is so important. So that:

  1. I don't have to know what's in my eye drops.
  2. I don't put pig semen in my eye without evidence that it will help.

Jim Pillen, pig fucker and governor of Nebraska, has known for a long time that pig semen cures cancer. On account of how much pig semen he has had on and in his body, and on account of how little cancer he's had.

That's specious reasoning, Sippy. By that logic I could claim this rock cures cancer.

A pocket full of pitchblende might help. But also, might give you some new forms.
