Pffff…. are you impressed by THAT? That is NOTHING, I tell you! In my time I ate an entire Saturn V! When the LES went off I didn’t even blink!

O, hang on, I better change my name on this post.

Gopher,

I wondered the very same thing as I was posting, but I didn’t want Phil to lose out on McDonalds as a corporate sponsor of badastronomy.com

“Psychologist call the regular and purposeful ingestion of non-nutrative items pica.”

Does eating at McDonald’s count as Pica?

Gee, I try to tell people that Phil Plait’s Bad Astronomy blog is a serious science web site, and then Phil puts this on his site.

Though Chris’s behavior doesn’t qualify(its more of a quasipseudometa pica), I still have my eye on that boy. He ain’t right in the head.

I’m worried about him, but not because he has a taste for Shuttles (well, they are tasty!)… but because he believes “Airborne” can actually prevent you from becoming ill. “Airborne” doesn’t work, just like all other homeopathic ‘remedies’. http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=9389C0F4-E7F2-99DF-3BE657CAD1649375
