Yes, every skeptic on the web has posted this, but it is irresistible. Remember, yanks, that A&E in the UK is not a boring cable TV channel but what they call an ER.

Profile
PalMD is a practicing internist in the Great Lakes region of the U.S.. Aside from the great joy he finds in his family and his work, he likes communicating some of that joy to others. He has a special interest in the ways patients---and we are all patients at one time or another---are deceived by charlatans. He aims to change the world, one reader at a time. Previous writings can still be found here, and here. I also write twice a month for Science-Based Medicine

It may be everywhere but I saw it here first.
Excuse me, I'm late for my scream therapy appointment.
Heh.

I think you mean that ER is not the head of state, but what you call the A&E.

As much as I hate it when "our side" is being smug, that was pretty funny. Especially the homeopathic lager... I didn't see that coming. One thing I have to ask is why did extending his life line with a pen cause him to expire? I mean, I know there's no actual proof that the two events are related, but they happened around the same time, and why aren't you keeping an open mind about the possibility?
