Bluebird User ID: 730536 United States 11/11/2012 12:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Somebody told me this about 20 yrs ago and I have creases in my ear lobes .I was saying bullshit/whatever. THEN 2 years ago had a heart attack at 50 and had 3 stents put in. Makes sense to me. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27526674 I heard about this 20 years ago as well and since I didn't have earlobe creases thought I was OK but like you had a major heart attack at age 50! So maybe or not. . . .I dunno. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway. Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy |
