Lead Poisoning Is A Total Fallacy

September 24th, 2006

I know this guy.

When he was a kid in elementary school, some other kid stabbed his hand with a number two pencil. For years, despite his family’s urgings, he never went the extra mile to extract the chunk of pencil lead in his hand. He’d read articles about lead poisoning, he’d been asked if he wanted to live past 30, and he even received pamphlets in the mail trying to convince him that before long…the lead poison would end his life.

Surprise! He’s still alive today!
