VITAMINS ARE NEVER DANGEROUS EVER not ever ever ever
They are safe because they are NATURAL and no natural thing has ever killed anything ever, and if they DID die it's because they were stupid and took naturals that interfered with their Qi

oh wait

http://www.caller.com/news/2009/apr/23/pharmacy-made-mistake-horse-drug-killed-21/


An official at a Florida pharmacy said Thursday the business incorrectly prepared a supplement given to 21 polo horses that died over the weekend while preparing to play in a championship match.

Jennifer Beckett of Franck's Pharmacy in Ocala, Fla., told The Associated Press in a statement that the business conducted an internal investigation that found "the strength of an ingredient in the medication was incorrect." The statement did not say what the ingredient was.

echuza also issued a statement to AP acknowledging that a Florida veterinarian wrote the prescription for the pharmacy to create a compound similar to Biodyl, a French-made supplement that includes vitamins and minerals and is not approved for use in the United States.

Obviously they weren't NATURAL vitamins. Stupid horses.

1. Actually, they were polio horses. Jonas Salk killed them.
Vitamins can do no wrong in any concentration under any circumstances.

2. Uh-oh. Magnesium kills?
But Orrex just learned from a Jesus Channel that magnesium can cure 90% of what ails you. Stupid horses must've been New Atheists or something.

4. Jesus never kills you
so if they had just fed JESUS to the horses (figuratively, of course), the horses would be alive and well, and kicking with the spirit inside them. HALLELUJAH

8. Holy shit, that's funny!
LOL - I'm imagining some creepy priest administering communion to Mr. Ed as the "literal flesh and blood of the saviour (or savor, as it were)"...

If only those Venezuelans had prayed a LITTLE bit harder, this wouldn't have happened.

5. Well obviously this was all Big Pharmas fault
In their never ending effort to outline all vitamins and supplements they tested out their new vitamin poison mixture on horses so everyone can see how dangerous they are...:sarcasm: for wandering woos. I'm sure I could post this in Health and be believed...:eyes:

6. I read somewhere that eating polar bear's liver can kill you...
because they store vitamin A in amounts that are poisonous to many other animals, including humans.

Not that it's something I would ever be in danger of doing; but it did occur to me that if the election had turned out badly, McCain should have been careful of eating any liver cooked for him by his VP!

7. Eating polar bear liver is especially dangerous...
...if the polar bear is still using the liver.

And any minute now...

I just know some humorless crank is going to barge in and accuse us of hating horses and polar bears.

Probably accompanied by a one-size-fits-all 5,000 word psychoanalysis of the whole group.

11. Well, now that you mentioned it, why do you hate polar bears?
Or is it all bears?

Or is it all of life?

All of divinely designed life?

Ack!
