Doctors thought the strange, bleeding bumps on Aaron Dallas’ head might be from gnat bites or shingles. Then the bumps started moving.
A doctor found five active bot fly larvae living beneath the skin atop Dallas’ head.
‘I’d put my hand back there and feel them moving. I thought it was blood coursing through my head,’ Dallas told the (Glenwood Springs) Post Independent.
‘I could hear them. I actually thought I was going crazy.’
‘When I saw him again, it was pretty obvious something else was going on,’ said Dr. Kimball Spence, who could see the spots moving on Dallas’ head. ‘There’s an open pit. You see a little activity, not necessarily the larvae, but a fluctuation of the fluid in the pit.’
[Dallas’ wife, Midge Dallas] told him, ‘I will love you through your maggots,'’ she told the newspaper.
Something in this little bit of questioning of Christianity, modern finance, and the 9/11 story was apparently too out-there even for a Wikipedia entry.
See the movie’s page, and its sources to get a sense of where it’s coming from… I’m not much on 9/11 ‘conspiracies’ — not because I think such evil is beyond the present gang of murdering, torturing criminals, but because I simply do not believe the Cheney Administration could have pulled off such a dazzling, flawless operation. But Wikipedia’s apparent disregard for materials that are not rendered “notable” by recognition from “official” sources is troubling. At best, it betrays a tremendous insecurity about its status. By suggesting that online cinema is not significant, aren’t they reinforcing the position of the Michael Gormans of the world, that online resources are inherently inferior?
Canadians use marijuana at four times the world average, making Canada the leader of the industrialized world in cannabis consumption, a recent United Nations report found.
The 2007 World Drug Report by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime says that 16.8 per cent of Canadians aged 15 to 64 smoked marijuana or used another cannabis product in 2006. The world average is 3.8 per cent.
But it looks like we have some serious smoking to do if Canadians really want to take on the world leaders in marijuana consumption:
In the report, Canada ranks fifth in the world for marijuana use, behind Ghana at 21.5 per cent, Zambia, 17.7 per cent, and Papua New Guinea and Micronesia with 29 per cent each.
Anyone up for a trip to Micronesia?
Until then, why don’t we shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville:
