@Austin_Dern yeah wasn't that a big part of humor theory?
also there were entire civilizations that thought that having lice was healthy because they noticed that unhealthy people didn't have lice (because their higher body temperature drove the lice away)
@fluffy Oh, I haven't heard that about lice. Interesting and not preposterous thinking.
@fluffy So I have read that in pre-Renaissance Europe there was a belief that a person _couldn't_ have more than one illness at a time, bodies just didn't work like that. Turns out not so much but it sure would make for better game balance if it did.
