Heh, I think I’ve already linked to (via comments, not a post) a German scientist who argues on behalf of not only nose picking, but eating the, er, findings. He did so somewhat tongue in cheek, but did note that there was evidence to back up such actions improving one’s immune system.Report

Ouch!Report
Kudos to these brave scientists for standing up to the “bogeyman” of autonasalhygenophobia.Report

Because they’re like those folks that stand at the Walmart door and wave.Report
Getting a solid first round pick is pretty satisfying, if it all works out.Report
Any headline in The National Post that starts with the word “Saskatchewan” is not intended to be read seriously.Report
Isn’t “Saskatchewan” Canadian for “Bigfoot”?Report
