Headaches in kids linked to Harry Potter?
 

kinda old news but very interesting to me:

Howard J. Bennett, a pediatrician in Washington, D.C., was alerted to the peril when three patients, ages 8 to 10, came to him in June complaining they had been suffering from a headache for the past two or three days.

"In each case, the headache was dull and the pain fluctuated throughout the day," Bennett wrote in a letter published in Thursday's issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.

Many kids all across the world have been suffering from headaches. Doctors across the country have been running tests to find out if they can be linked to reading Harry Potter.

Mmmm.. it must be true if he was "alerted to the peril"...

Who wrote this shit?? :1orglaugh

Sometimes the so called experts urge so much for attention that it starts to be embarrassing. I am just waiting for some dumbass sueing Rowling or the publisher.

If a fat kid that normally only sits on the sofa for hours to watch TV takes a book and reads for hours it is kind of obvious that they get back muscle tension and in turn headache. I guess all of us that work with the computer know exactly what that feels like sitting in front of it for hours typing.

How could you imagine most parents tell their kids how to read in the right position when they never even touched a book by themselves. Guess now they might get an excuse to not let their kids read :321GFY

Hmmmmmmmmmmm..................wait a sec..........let me gut a cow and read its entrails to tell us the truth...........

are kids, in fact, getting headaches from Harry Potter????

and oops..........slipped up............was listening to some Sabbath the other day, and it caused me to get up and actually go on a murdering spree

do you think they've combined the two, and there's some secret Sabbath loops if you listen to Dobby the Elf backwards?

:2 cents:

Harry Potter is a magician. He can do special things with the minds of sweet young children..:Graucho

I might sue intel because that processor they made is not exactly what I prayed for. So, basically they are forcing their anti-religious beliefs apon me and I have no possible way to defend against them.


AND, sue me, because while reading this post you could have been streching your arms and yawning, which would release some stress, but now it's all bottled in and you might get a cancer from it.


:warning

I wonder, too, if Acacia will get involved in this.........maybe they will claim to have the patents for whatever causes headaches and that Harry Potter may be infringing on it

Reading is bad :)

Harry Sabbath????

I think the Harry Potter books are great.. I read the whole series and I'll let my kids read them too. Hell, if it gets the video game junkie tv addicted children of our generation to crack a book, why the FUCK not? :P

"Paranoid Harry Potter"

"Harry Potter's Writ"

"War Potter Pigs"

and maybe a new TV show............"The Potterbournes" starring Ozzy Potter and his wife, Sharon Potter, and their pet Dobby the Elf.......

first episode.........they catch Dobby whacking off in the bathroom and Ozzy Potter sits down with him after and tells him not to make the same mistakes he made.

**************

oops...........shouldn't have said anything about the first episode and the tv show as Acacia had that idea first



:BangBang:

I wonder if they checked the vison of these children.
They may need glasses.

:Graucho

well the world must be ending if ppl are actually going to complain about their children getting headaches from reading, whether its Harry Potter or whatever.........

what do we want to raise, a bunch of dunderheads, playstationheads, and so on?
