Medical society of Penny Arcade,

I require your assistance.

For the past week or so I've had the sensation of an electric shock going through my legs every now and again. It's not painful, it simply feels like one of those "shocking" toys. To begin with I thought it was just a spasm and everything would be fine, but now it feels as though my legs will give way. I've also been reading a few google hits on my problem and I realised that alot of the stuff I felt were "ok" are actually thought of as serious problems. For instance my eyes will sometimes flid-out and "rumble" without me trying to move them.

A little backround info before you jump to conclusions ;

A) I have MARFANS disease. I'm a big bloke (not fat, just...big. I've never met anyone with bigger hands than me for instance) and as such i've had trouble with my legs in the past. After severing a tendon in my right leg I began to walk with my foot to the side and have thusly bent the entire bone - however I do walk with my right foot forward now so I don't look like a tard. I also have little to no cartilidge in my right knee due to everything being slightly too big and "grinding" away.

B) I have a regular exercise routine and eat very well.

C) I don't sleep very well. Two kids, one 6 ther other 2.5 months.

D) I have a limited life-expentancy as is - I don't really want to be told I have a brain tumour....

Discuss D:

    Not a lot of people know what a "stone" weighs seeing as it is a ridiculous system of measurement. Had you put your height in cubits I'd have confused your post with the biblical description of the Ark of the Covenant.

    Yeah.

    Thanks.

    We couldn't tell you were from England when you used rocks for a weight scale.

    Although no longer an official unit of measure, the stone remains widely used within the British Isles as a means of expressing human body weight. People in these countries normally describe themselves as weighing, for example, "11 stone 4" (11 stone and 4 pounds), rather than "72 kilograms" in most other countries, or "158 pounds" (the conventional way of expressing the same weight in the United States). Its widespread colloquial use may be compared to the persistence in the British Isles of other Imperial units like the foot, the inch, and the mile, despite these having been supplanted entirely or partly (road distances and speed enforcement area are still expressed officially in miles and miles per hour in the United Kingdom but the Republic of Ireland now uses the metric system) by metric units in official use (a similar usage persists in Canada) and other contexts is the kilogram. In official use, provision is usually made for the public to express body weight in either stone or kilograms (similar allowance is made for measuring height in feet and inches). For example, on a National Health Service website both Imperial and metric units are used [2].

    Outside the British Isles, stone may also be used to express body weight in casual contexts in other Commonwealth countries, particularly Australia and New Zealand.

    that's because ham is rich in copper, which turns green when it oxidizes

    there are going to be people that take this post seriously and it will most likely spawn a retarded 75 page argument on vegetarianism versus omnivorism (IS THAT A WORD??) and shit that is the stupidest thing
