I admit. I just saw STD and my mind went to toilet seat. Lol.

But I already had a very vague knowledge that humans have been impervious to such types of infections because fungus can't survive above a certain temperature. At least until now, it looks like.

I don't know. I just saw an opportunity for potty humor and took it.

Just my 2¢, but if you're going to spend time on sites like that one, why not focus on the positive pieces?

For example: Experimental Probiotic May Prevent Organ Damage From Alcohol, Scientists Say

LOL, I'm not spending time there, it just came up on the web. I really couldn't care less if the Earth blew up after me and all my loved ones are gone.

As for that link, how about not abusing alcohol in the first place, but they havta invent some new tech for that lmao? Never understood that 'addiction'. Booze is nasty.

I dunno man. The only time I feel anything is when I'm drunk, have the pedal to the floor in an M5, or am jumping out of a plane. So I can't hate alcohol too much. Granted, I keep it tightly controlled and isolated to Saturday nights only (like right now!).

Ugh.. I seem to have indulged in way too many jalapenos...
