Man. “Sweating Disease.” “Morgellons Disease.” “Twentieth-Century Disease.”

The website itself is interesting. If there’s a list out there, ranking or rating something. It’s sure to be found on it somewhere.

Fascinating. I’ve actually once had the “exploding head”. Weird sensation. Glad to read that it may only be a one time occurance.
I’ve had it once, myself, a long time ago. I thought I’d been shot in the head. I can’t imagine having to go through life with the possibility of occasional reoccurrence hanging over my head, like the fabled sword. When you think about all the stuff out there that could take us down or kill us in a heartbeat…I guess we should all be thanking our lucky stars.

I didnt see “Liberal Voting Sickness”. I hear however that it is caused by “Class Envy” and “Lack of Education” so I guess they are not all that unknown.
Is this an attempt at humour? or just a manifestation of your “Extreme-ignoramous syndrome”?
I think it was humor. It’s also illustrative of our inability to keep politics out of any discussion, these days. Ah, well…I’m sure that’ll die down a bit as other issues begin to preoccupy us. Like our heads exploding

I can’t believe that “spontaneous human combustion” didn’t make the list.

Are you sure that wasn’t an orgasm? I hope it wasn’t just a once time occurance for you.

Natascha Richardson gave me a strong jolt of reality.

Really? I thought that was a put on.
I think it says something that many if not most of those “diseases” are not based in reality (as evidenced by the blind studies that showed none of the claimed effects).
I don’t know what it says, but it says something.
Had to laugh when I first heard of this malady. Now no jokes about the microcephaly…
Christian syndrome: “A syndrome of craniosynostosis. microcephaly, arthrogryposis, and cleft palate and varied craniofacial, respiratory, neurological, and limb abnormalities.”

That’s EXACTLY what was on my mind when I made that observation. I loved her work. Very sad.

It hasn’t been PROVEN per se, but male pattern baldness and farting are attributed to nagging.
We need a double-blind crossover study. At least 10,000 males, 15 years and a humongous government grant ought to allow us to get to the bottom of things in fairly short order. I’ll author the grant and you can be the administrator. I’ll attach some fluff to it about embryonic stem cell research or something and we’ll get our “Obama stimulus check” in no time!!

15 years?!?! Where’s your ambition? I’m thinking a 2-century study, run by our descendants, that will make the Framingham Study look like an ostacized fat kid at a middle school dance!
Hey… you are in the bathroom, on your way to take a crap… and all of a sudden you are consumed by an internal fire in a few seconds. What disease could be worse than that? Tell me…
I suffer from “Being too sexy and having a high Facebook IQ diseases”.

Oh, you “suffer” alright. From what I have no idea (hee-hee).

I think most of the so-called eggheads don’t consider you all-of-a-sudden turning into a walking, talking pyre of death and destruction to be a disease process. More likely, they think of it as a specific physiological response to possible internal stimuli. Besides, I don’t think there’s any sort of disease progression. More like one minute you’re fine and the next you’re a Zippo lighter. Pretty bad, though…
