    Why am I sweaty?  Will someone get me out of this thread already?

    I do this at least a half dozen times today. Then again I crack all my joints. Wake up in the morning and move my right hip and it sets off a chain reaction of pops going down my leg to my big toe. Sounds like someone dropped a bag of billiards balls.

    Same with killing people by snapping their neck. It doesn’t result in death 99.9% of the time. Bullet wounds take hours to kill people.

    I just want people to sneeze in movies without it meaning a virus is on the loose. Sneeze and cough dammit.

    That’s not really a myth, it’s what chiropractors do, and they are a recognized healthcare practice by insurance companies in my state.

    Funny how things I actually do because my physical therapist told me to end up being called myths.
