Week in Review, brought to you by Frank Buckles

A very interesting week of quizzo. It started on a quiet Tuesday, when I Got Nothin’, a team that’s been playing for a good year without a victory, finally got over the hump at O’Neals. On to a mellow Bards, where the Dysfunktion beat up on the Sofa Kingdom, scoring a 111-91 win. Big blowouts on Wednesday as the Jams cruised to a 104-83 win. The most impressive win of the week came at the Black Sheep, as Duane’s World only missed one question in the whole game on their way to 116 points. We finally got a thriller at the Good Dog, as Team Awesome (a team that included my ex) made a 4th round comeback to pull off a 100-96 win over Dorksided. Finally, a shootout at the Bards, as the Hurtin Bombs and Sofa Kingdom finished in a tie with 110, and the top 5 teams all cracked the 100 point plateau. The Hurtin’ Bombs pulled off the win in OT.

The Donspiracist Returns With Fluoride: Poison Without Consent

The Donspiracist had to take off a few months to move…probably to stay one step ahead of the government, which is obviously trying to silence him. The powers that be will certainly not be pleased with his latest, in which he examines why our drinking water is poisoned, not by terrorists, but by our government. -ed.

If I claimed that the government is trying to poison you by putting hazardous chemicals intentionally into our water supply, you’d inevitably tell me I’m nuts.

Before you read any further, go to your medicine cabinet and take out your toothpaste.

Turn it to the back and read it carefully, especially where it says Warnings.

I have a tube of Colgate and Sensodyne in my bathroom (So I have sensitive teeth. So what?), and both their warnings read about the same: If more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control center right away.

Funny, I thought this was a product that is safe for the whole family to use. Imagine if a box of Chips Ahoy said something similar. Or a jar of Cheez Whiz. Or a boxed fruit drink. Or a bottle of vodka.

If you look further, you notice that under ingredients, sodium fluoride is listed as an active ingredient. In FDA speak, that means it’s a drug.

This is the same stuff that is put in our water, Philadelphia included. Of course, experts will assure us that it has been done for over forty years and that the concentration is miniscule, only 1 part per million (ppm). What they won’t tell you is how small the gap is between a therapeutic dose of fluoride and a toxic dose of fluoride: therapeutic is 1 ppm, and toxic is 4 ppm. Hmm….
