RE: knuckle cracking and arthritis
May want to ask someone that lives in California - They've got a health / hazard warning on everything!! Have you ever noticed that anything and everything sold in California "May cause cancer".
Ought to break that state off from the rest of the country....Invade/overthrow it, and turn it back into a democratic society !!
(No offense BasinBum - you seem to be normal enough!!)
