Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
I Am Alive Because of SCIENCE!!

Two broken bones and a dose of chickenpox aside from that, but those are survivable.
Thing is, most of the stuff that would have killed most of us in childhood we've never been exposed to. Diarrhea from contaminated drinking water, typhoid, cholera, etc.
bob! put that on your resume!
previous employment:
job title: SCIENCE!
responsibilities: constructing overly elaborate burglar traps, knocking self out and thus proving the effectiveness of said traps, taking IQ tests.
Because only SCIENCE! can put an extra hour in the day!
*true story
The polio weakened you so much that the smallpox finished you off when you were 7.
Don't you remember?
Double root canal
Jaw infection
Some sort of freaky deaky allergic reaction that put me in anaphyalxis.
Other than that I've been lucky. Nothing life-threatening.

heh same here
hi5 for jaundice.
# paweaboo Talk about the animu's with friendly people on SLASHnet.
World population 10k bc to 2000 ad
Obs, do you see that giant vertical line at the end of that chart?
That has both world wars in it.
Obs gave up several pages ago, and may not even be reading this thread. If he isn't, then who are you talking to? Have you gone crazy? Have you the brain worms?
Because if so, science can fix that for you.
Meh, it applies for anyone else too.
*twitch*
Totally counts and I'm totally thankful for it myself. +1 Science!
Also saved my father from chronic Lymes Disease, my mother would have died when she was a teenager due to the Beetus, My sister was born with Pneumonia and an Apgar score of 1, helped my moms father meet her mother, and he himself helped save lives for almost 80 years as a doctor
SCIENCE!
I had a moderately serious HA-MRSA infection once, damn doctors breeding superbugs - thanks science!
On the other hand even more powerful antibiotics then drove it from my system - thus proving the solution to science is more SCIENCE!
Also another one for the born-way-to-early-and-had-to-be-put-in-an-incubator-with-extra-oxygen crew.
Clearly you were this close to getting superpowers!
Test tube (and related) babies definitely owe it all to SCIENCE!
"Oh, don't mind Timmy's silence, he's just kind of an introvert. He's a real bookworm you know!" or maybe he has a form of autism, one that wasn't related to a vaccine.
And even if there is a correlation, which there isn't, is it fair to potentially expose your child, and indirectly everyone else, to a terrible disease over a small chance of problems?
I supposed I am lucky that SCIENCE! did not explode and fill me with shrapnel, or burn down my house.

Give this man an Internet.
The problem is parents assume autism can be 'caused' by something when the baby was born with it already. Because you really can't tell until they're like, 2-3 years old. They assume they did something to break their baby in that time, and then they go tell scary stories to new mothers who freak out, because everyone assumes they make 'perfect' kids.
I mean, it was discovered that I have an innocent heart murmur. Clearly that was caused by the immunizations, because it didn't show up until I was 4-5.
Anyway, without science I totally would've been one dead baby.
In my family there's been a lot, chemo and radiation helped my dad get an extra sixteen years of life he probably wouldn't otherwise have had.
I now study earth science!
Extra points for a Saved by Science! toofer, retroactively extended to people from C-sections, birth surgeries, and owners of the alleged wombs. Outstanding!
Also, although radiation treaments are somewhat dissappointing to me in thier apparent lack of creating mutated superpeople, their awesomeness is no less diminished in what they do produce- longer lives.
Extra points because Radiation! is awesome, and also because that was pretty touching, glad to hear you got some more time.
That's pretty much it, but I am recovering rapidly and easily from upper and lower jaw surgery to correct my horrible open bite. Now I can actually bite food off, have a decent smile, and get compliments on how much better I look.
Medicine! Which is co-related to Science!

Dude, I popped a hole in my lung by screaming so loud after delivery! I also had incredibly low blood sugar and had to get an IV? of sugar water stuff!
I'd doubt it, but I suppose it could be one of the reasons I struggled with distance running as a child. On the other hand, I did a shit ton of choir/show choir/other stuff wherein I was running and moving about.
But on a more indirect note, I, not being the most physically adept person, would have likely not survived had I not been able to use my mind instead of my physical strength to gain money which then can be traded for the necessities of life that are produced more physically able people. How is all this possible? SCIENCE!
When I was 18, I developed a case of mono that led to viral meningitis. The typical case is 7-10 days, and mine lasted an agonizing two months. I was an invalid for about a year, just in recovery.
