We heard a lot about Tamiflu and handwashing, but in 1918, during the Spanish Flu, millions of people died of secondary bacterial infections (pneumonia and menigitis). And it was the young healthy soldiers that got it most. So, why not give everyone these vaccines?

I made a huge mistake in my life and smoked crack cocaine on Sunday night.I smoked 4 rocks and was finished at 9PM. How long will it take to be out of my system? I am going to be getting a urine test that gives instant result. Is there anything i can do to have it out of my system more quickly...other than drink a lot of water. I appreciate the help....and to anyone considering ever trying it...its not worth it.

I have read a DOCTOR saying that ejaculation can cause countless unsolvable problems.
1.it causes pain in knees making it difficult to sit down and stand up and produces harming noice in knees during cycling.
2.it makes semen less concentrated and watery.
3.it weakens the penis and causes it to bend.
4.it can cause mental disorders.
5.physical appearance of the person changes Eyes are pinched inside. Cheaks are pinched. pimples appear on the face etc
If a person affected by these diseases still continue to ejaculate will not its parallel to suicide.
And no one can now say this habit to be normal and safe
and if people do say than why?

I was watching an episode of CSI and there was a guy who was shot while stuffed in a trunk. He was then placed in the woods to make it look like a hunting accident. The CSI team ruled out the hunting thing because the body had returned to the position which it was in at the moment of death as part of the rigamortice process which the termed "Body Positioning". When talking about this at work I was called a gullable moron. I still think it sounds plasable, is there any truth to this at all?
