Yay science. Let me know if you ever need the stone part taken care of, I'm a geologist!

(not making fun... we just don't get to make many jokes as geologists...)

I contracted bacterial meningitis in high school. I went to urgent care with a stiff neck and the doctor acted like I had leprosy; he wouldn't come near me. Went to the ER and luckily was able to get by with a bit of nasty arm scarring and two days of IV's. I can't imagine if it had gotten as far as yours. I'm glad you had a full recovery!

Jörg, you are doing an awesome AMA. Thanks for answering so many questions. I tried making one of your slingshots, got my pink stuck, and broke it in two places. I don't blame you, because it makes a good story and you're pretty explicit about not doing the things you do. No question, just thought I'd let you know how cool you are.
