The webpage indicates that a deficiency is rare, and yet I hear of more and more people extolling the virtues of this shot. It seems like in most cases, an adjusted diet or treating for anemia might alleviate the problem without injections. I'm not a medical doctor though, so I don't know.

Is there a difference between getting the shot vs taking a B vitamin pill?

nicely done.

Also, the bat tee shirt on the kid on the far right is BAD ASS.

Lindy, I want you to know how much I appreciate the sacrifices you make for us. Also, I saw a couple buying these in the grocery store the other day.

Cooool!! My favorite stinkhorn (has anyone ever typed this phrase prior to right now?) has got to be the stinky squid.

Not that I disagree that this is lovely and awesome.

Haha! I love this! I also try to include a funny thing on exams (though I don't know if it makes them hate me more).

OH! I was just thinking of you! I'm sure you saw the cover image for the man-who-ripped-off-his-dick-on-shrooms article!

D'aww thanks :) I'm an ecologist
