< grahame> also according to this paper linked from wikipedia purslane helps with the strange mouth disease mum has caught
< grahame> hence the planting of it
< grahame> well, not caught
< grahame> (genetic, woo, more bad genes in the family)
< zarquin> ..
< grahame> wait, this study has 37 people
< grahame> surely that can't be enough to be useful
< zarquin> how rare is this disease?
< grahame> also it's in a journal that sounds like BS
< zarquin> that might be a large sample size? hmm
< zarquin> well, you can run your own study?
< grahame> it'll be interesting to try it though, unfindable probably horrible green vegie
<@Zanchey> n=1
< grahame> zarquin: n=1
< grahame> Zanchey: jinx :)
<@Zanchey> then you can publish!
* grahame laughs
< zarquin> :)
< grahame> in the New Grahame Journal of Medicine
< grahame> http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ptr.2919/abstract;jsessionid=6C0D0829A23A35A35462D3DA29080B04.d02t01
< grahame> phytotherapy sounds made up
< grahame> oh god it is
< grahame> I should read things :P
<@Zanchey> hahaha
< grahame> it's actually funny, I bought the purslane seeds because I liked the name
< grahame> it's actually a coincidence that I had them
* grahame crawls into a hole :P
< grahame> "Pliny advised wearing the plant as an amulet to expel all evil"
< grahame> it'll go well with my jedi robe
