Hehe, I'm having a bit of trouble backing my own claims up. My previous respose could be bullshit... How ironic of me. *sigh*

I hear a lot of people saying this is nonsense without backing their claims up. I think the appropriate answer is: it's within the realm of possibility. Up to 5mg of zinc can be lost in each ejaculation (source: Wikipedia), which is a significant percentage of the RDA for zinc (the RDA being approximately 15mg). So if you masturbate too much, you can lose enough zinc to actually be zinc-deficient. It turns out that a symptom of zinc deficiency is... acne. So I don't think it's as ridiculo

It's not ironic, it's 'Alanic'. Obligatory quote from comedian Ed Byrne about the song, "Ironic":

I think these were Marc Heap's posts. There was also this story about it in the Telegraph. Sad stuff.

Edit: Censoring myself. I'm not sure how relevant this topic is to EMO or how appropriate it is for some people on this board.

I think this would be a good time to lock this thread... Could someone with God-like powers please make it so? Thank you!

I second what artlez was saying. Sometimes when I'm using public transportation it feels like a person is looking at me because their face is pointed in my direction, but if I glance over at them, their eyes are looking over my shoulder or at the floor or something. I'm not trying to be a prick, but did you check a few times before speaking to him to verify that he was, in fact, looking at you? I'm just curious...

Oh yeah, and wear sunscreen. (Thank you Baz Luhrmann)
