As well as [irrational and mostly sober discussion.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=321781&highlight=vaccination+autism+thimerosal)

Maybe there should be a new thread debating who is further out to lunch on scientific matters - Robert Kennedy Jr. or Tom Cruise.

I don’t know if it was intentional on the part of the guest in question’s choice of name, but in many Italian dialects “chooch” (ciuccio) is the word for donkey or small horse. It’s also quite handy when you want to refer to someone as a jackass, which I assume is the more popular utilization of the word and potentially fairly appropriate in this particular case.

Only because we’re all fervently searching for a post **mangetout** made about flouride that can be linked to the infamous “cooking” thread. :shudder: 😛

I bet they’re out there; seriously - _everything_ is out there, somewhere on the internet - in fact I won’t be at all surprised to hear that there are two warring factions of TunaButt fetishists; one that believes in taking it out of the tin, the other doesn’t.

There’s also **Plaice This Where The Sun Don’t Shine[sup]TM[/sup]**, but they only have a fraction of the market share.

**Tentacle Buttplugs™** don’t seem to be grabbing their share of the market place either.

From Floride nazis, masterbating Deities to tunabutt. This place is so worth the subscription rate.

You remind me of the people in the 1950’s who were convinced that UFO’s were real. I was too. But I was 15 years old when I read my first book by Donald Keyhoe about flying saucers. It sounded real to me. So did masturbating until I went blind.

Sound like someone didn’t drink enough fluoridated water today.

Alternately, I am one of those kids who went to the Poll Parrot store to buy Buster Browns in 1949-54. (Hey! We’re talking _shoes_ here, kids.}

I looked at the bones in my feet. Cool! Eeek! NOT cool.

I attribute it to the fluoroscope machine, rather than the fluoride in the water.

It’s not blind so much as not being able to see in the dark because there are no batteries in your flashlight…
