#2 They said WHAT???

Okay I take back what I said about Hariri and his Migraines.

Does the Rantburg hall of fame have a category for completely stupid things said with a straight face by an EU bureaucrat?

#4 As a registered Pisces, I want to put on record that I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED, I tell you at this world class decision of idiocy.

The first order of business is to establish a blue ribbon commission and investigate the so-called panel of experts. We need background information on every one of the individuals on the panel.

In order to establish the commission, we need to decide how to select the members of the commission. That is where things get sticky. You see, it is getting harder to find people with common sense to serve on commissions like this.......

#5 use Di-Hydrogen Monoxide, while it has known risks, it's safer than water

#6 AFAICT, none has published a meta-analysis of several double-blind randomized controlled trials which even attempt to confirm whether the ingestion of water in any form or in any amount is necessary to human life.
Therefore water is an unproven (and probably unnecessary) treatment for anything.

#8 I just want to point out that beer contains electrolytes and water-soluble vitamins, in case any of you guys are dehydrated and don't want to look like a girlie-man by drinking Pedialyte.

#9 I don't want to live on this planet any more. Sarc/off. Yes, we have truly gone through the looking glass as per my comment on Beavis's post on the faster than light particles.

#10 Steve No way, Jose!. Pedialyte results in such a foul body odder!. I pick door number two for the beer please. I prefer the six pack ripped abs. They may look like one ab but I'll know there in there somewhere.

#12 Isn't beer a diuretic? In that case, it most definitely would be contraindicated for dehydration or the prevention thereof.
