Yeah, I bet that guy is _such_ an original! :rolleyes:

Thought up the “sheeple” meme all by himself, did he?

OMG!

Those pictures would be a good alternative to that medication that makes people puke.

I forget the name. What is it again?

Oops! I found it. It’s called, “syrup of ipecac”. But the source claims there may be problems with it. So, take a look before you try it.

Here is one of the answers from the above page:

“Well just make sure you’re not always doing it my aunt would do the same and her teeth are a disaster but as long as you don’t care about your teeth or anything else than its ok but the acid can really eat away at you so just be careful”

I would ask the question, “How the heck are you supposed to be careful?”

I mean … if you do it and it harms your teeth so badly … what are you supposed to do? That just seems like some very dangerous advice. I would prefer if there was a link to a discussion that explains why it can be dangerous and what the best thing to do about that would be.

…and Charlie Wayne derails yet another thread in only three posts.

As to the subject at hand, when I saw the movie “Avatar” there was something about the blue species (whatever they were; I didn’t like the movie enough to commit it to memory) that kind of creeped me out. And now, BAM, I’ve realized it’s because they all looked like a cross between humans and blue sheep.

Those are some creepy-ass pictures.
