    I once knew a homeopath who tried to kill himself.

    He took a massive underdose.

      I can’t tell if this is an actual story or a Mitch Hedberg style joke.

        It’s a joke. If it was serious, it would use other words while adding up to the same meaning.

      Lol. I had a chemistry prof in university that every year, when teaching dilution, mixed up a solution of arsenic that was 2x the lethal dose and then diluted it over and over and over and then drank the water.

        He’s building up resistance so his wife can’t poison him.

      Reminds me of James Randi eating handfuls of homeopathic sleeping pills.

        RIP Mr. Randi

        Before Randi’s retirement, JREF sponsored the One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge, which offered a prize of $1 million to applicants who could demonstrate evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event under test conditions agreed to by both parties.

        You can imagine how many zeros of millions they paid out

          I’ve just now read through his extremely lengthy Wikipedia article and all I can say is: What an amazing man.

              I found your post and I actually was reading about American (il)literacy rates about a month ago hahaha. It’s truly sad. But that’s a funny reply!

            He wrote a terrific book called Flim-Flam!, which I’ve read multiple times. It’s incredibly good. A book about anti-scientific bullshit written in 1980 holds up just as much today because it’s the same bullshit.

            Thankfully zeros of millions (0s of $$) and not millions of zeros ($1x1010000000) :)
