A Texas man who stumbled into an emergency room showing signs of drunkenness has become a medical anomaly – he was diagnosed with auto-brewery syndrome.The man was found to have a blood alcohol level of .37, five times the legal limit in Texas. Medical staff assumed he was inebriated, but the man insisted he hadn’t had one drop of alcohol all day. They were also told he had spent the past five years with bouts of intoxication that didn’t involve drinking booze....The patient had an infection with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a common yeast. Whenever he ingested starch — pasta, bread or soda — the yeast fermented along with the sugars, turning into ethanol. He was brewing beer in his gut.
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.
I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.
Burn fire! Hellfire! Now Anita, its your turn! Choose GamerGate, or your pyre!Be mine or you will buuurn!!
It's shit like this that makes the enlightened aliens to say "nah, we'll just leave this planet alone 'till it stops being so weird."Yet I'm strangely fascinated.
Humanity does learn from history,sadly, they're rarely the ones in power.
Life is too damned short for the concept of “guilty” pleasures to have any meaning.

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches. Tingly!
This cannot be healthy. And what if the yeast started making methanol instead ethanol or something? What if he would have gotten alcohol poisoning or something and been remembered as just another alcoholic who drank himself to death?
