I have created a sleuth miracle!

IT IS THE UNHIJACKABLE THREAD!

Go ahead and try, but this thread is about anything and nothing, all at the the same time!

This is the place where Al can talk about world domination, Crunch can worship David Hasselhoff, SS can try and find even more complicated questions for his pub quizzes, Nikkie can advertise for Tim Tams, cfm can troll for more Sharpie victims, JR can beg for the chance to win Bobo back, and bedazzling can be a way of life!

So go off, rant and rave, talk about anything, i don't care, I just wanted to see my avatar on the page (when its actually me anyways)

So go ahead, I dare you all to try and hijack me :)

For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

The Jaberwocky
By Lewis Carroll

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.


"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"


He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought-
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.


And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffing through the tugey wood,
And burbled as it came!


One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.


"And hast thou slain the Jaberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.


'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did grye and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe

Medications

Using medications for gout can be complicated, because the treatment needs to be tailored for each person and may need to be changed from time to time.

To relieve the pain and swelling of an acute attack, the doctor may prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicine, corticosteroid drugs, and/or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

To prevent future attacks, the doctor may recommend colchicine, probenecid (Benemid, Parbenem or Probalan), sulfinpyrazone (Anturane), or allopurinol (Lopurin, Zurinol or Zyloprim).

To prevent or treat tophi, probenecid, sulfinpyrazone and allopurinol are recommended.

All of these drugs are powerful, so the patient needs to understand why they are taking them, what side effects may occur and what to do if they have problems with the medication.

Prevention of Gout
To lower risk factors, consider:

* supervised weight-loss program with exercise (if the patient is overweight)

* avoiding a purine-rich diet

* avoiding alcohol consumption, especially binge drinking

* changing to another drug, if taking diuretics for hypertension

Did you know that during the Cold War, the pentagon along with the assistance of the Rand Corporation assigned values to each and every target in the US, Europe, and USSR. This bridge is worth 3 points, that base is worth 6, this city is worth 10 that railway junction worth 2. In this way, the maniacs actually plotted out a tactical response to any Soviet nuclear agression. They hit downtown Chicago, we get to hit x amount of bases and bridges in retaliation to make it even. <True fact, although I pulled the numbers out of thin air> Hey, do you know how much I paid to learn little gems like this? When am I gonna use this? huh? Not even on jeopordy. lol

Even more bizarre. During this crazy period, they become so conviced that mathematics and computers could solve everything, that in the mid 1960's they plugged in every variable and statistic on the Vietnam war. The super computer crunched the numbers for a while, then told them they had already won the war! Ha! True story, I've watched the video where they look at the results and are dumbfounded. Another gem. Ah college! Political Science and Foriegn Affairs. Unless your going to be a lawyer, I'd suggest another course of study. lol

I'm having an Alice moment reading this thread:

`As to poetry, you know,' said Humpty Dumpty, stretching out one of his great hands, ` I can repeat poetry as well as other folk, if it comes to that -'

`Oh, it needn't come to that!' Alice hastily said, hoping to keep him from beginning.

`The piece I'm going to repeat,' he went on without noticing her remark, `was written entirely for your amusement.'

Alice felt that in that case she really ought to listen to it; so she sat down, and said `Thank you' rather sadly...
