Do you know what’s a REALLY bad idea?
Googling “colloid cyst in Foramen of Monro”
Do you know why?
Because “[a]lthough colloid cysts are histologically benign, they can acutely obstruct both foramina of Monro, resulting in sudden loss of consciousness, coma, and death.”
Sudden. Death.
Awesome.
Props to Daisy for a very well-timed e-card.
Excuse me while I wallow horizontally with a monster headache that surely can’t be rooted in stress. Surely.

Ha. Overkill. I kill myself.
HA. But really.

Pfft, you can’t die. It’s simply not allowed. Who’s gonna be all sarcastic and witty snort-out-loud funny for your fans if you kick the bucket?

Might be time to seek the help of a voodoo priestess.
