I’ve just read that the blue dye in M&M’s can be used to reduce damage caused in spinal injuries! Well, the amount that I consume, just call me Alex ‘Ironspine’ Masterson… 😉
Take the above critter, for example; one of many who were suffering from a spinal injury. After being injected with the compound, which is called ‘Brilliant Blue G’, their ability to walk returned and they could potter about once again with a slight limp the only sign of their previous disability. The side effect being, as you can see, that it turned them blue for a while!
What we can learn from this is that if you ever feel your back going, or suffer a spinal injury, forgo that expensive medical treatment nonsense safe in the knowledge that you can just knock back a bag or two of M&M’s. Problem solved!

Hah! Well, I wasn’t going to say anything but… the picture on the Avatar post? That was actually part of a self-portrait photo – I haven’t dared step foot outside in days, but my back feels great!
