What do you think?

I'm thinking they all did a batch of bath salts or some other shitty drug and this shit happened to them.

It's so hard to say without knowing all the facts.
Were the 12 of them close? It's trickier if not.
Did they all experience onset of symptoms within the same timeframe? Were those experiencing the symptoms first in contact with those who experienced them subsequently?

It's all odd.

Bottom line, we are unlikely to ever know if it's purely environmental/ medical.
And if it's not we have to wait for one of them to get older and write a tell-all.
And even then we can't be sure an unscrupulous agent/ ghostwriter/ editor is really interested in the truth.

A modern mystery indeed, Infi.

My first thought was hoax, but I'm cynical like that.

The New York State Health Department has been investigating the case for more than three months and says the school building is not to blame. Officials from the LeRoy Junior-Senior High School in upstate New York, where all the girls attended when their symptoms began, have released environmental reports, conducted by an outside agency, showing no substances in any of the school buildings that could cause health problems.

Health officials ruled out carbon monoxide, illegal drugs and other factors as potential causes. Officials say no one at the school is in any danger.

“We have conclusively ruled out any form of infection or communicable disease and there’s no evidence of any environmental factor,’’ Dr. Gregory Young of the New York Department of Health told NBC News.

It's The Devils Lite.

I have to admit I am too.
Especially about teenage girls, who seemed like another species to me even when I was one.

I've met many women since who have the midset of teenagers.
And I have had to drag myself out of it (irrational jealousy and feeling left out being those I am still working on!) At least I am no longer embarrassed about who I am. I worked out you don't literally die from embarrassment. It made life so much better.

I'd feel like a meanie if it wasn't.
But like I say, I doubt we'd ever hear in that case.

Oh - when I heard that 12 girls had tics I sent them a case of Hartz Ultraguard collars.

My apologies. Movies warp real facts; lemmings actually swim very well too.

You know, the deeper underneath the water you go, the more nitrogen narcosis sets in, and the more relaxed you are, and the less seasick.

Of course, the downside is no air.

I forgot I was in scuba gear when I did that.

You know who's a good swimmer? Clint Eastwood. For real.

He was in a plane crash in '51 off the coast of California and swam a few miles to shore by himself. Taught swimming in the military after that.

Just don't go skiing with him. He ran into my bro on the slopes in Aspen - Literally.

I should have said Belle Rosen.
But I don't like to make obscure jokes if I wouldn't personally get them.

She was heeeelarious as Roseanne's grandma.

It's cool, it's just 2012. The neurological damage has reached critical mass, and we're all gonna start tipping over the edge and dropping like flies in the next few months. Been nice knowing you guys--cuntpissfuck!
