I know this image has been around for awhile, but it always makes me smile...
and I think of it often when reading UAP/UFO claims on Metabunk.

If a young deer can use its right foot and its left foot equally well, it's probably bambidextrous.

So what's a frog who can use either foot, amphibidextrous?

I expect that's toadally correct, but I don't want to kermit myself at this point.

 

[JMartJr]

I was going to say that we are knee deep in the puns now, but I suspect that the idea that frogs say "nee-deep" is maybe not widely known.

They're giving out free samples?

Yup, under the bottle caps - gotta collect them all! (Note, however, that, like all other such scams, there will be none that actually contains the actual alien material.)

I think if you collect them all, you get a piece of alien fuel!

For anyone who can analyse. And you know it's legit because the bag's contents are invisible and blurry to the camera.

Yikes, not bunk.

For men only, apparently, in particular for "sexually weak men" - yay, dick-pill scams: god bless America!

(TBH, I'm as offended by the phrasal "slowing up", from their publicity materials, as I am anything else on that page. One slows down, or speeds up; other combinations just ain't English.)

Yeah, that would be a one night stand that would put you six feet under after a bit. Sex and death rolled into one. Ironic panaceas.
There were also kegs of radium water for the work staff room. You could stuff a suppository and drink radioactivity.
Like mercury for Chinese emperors for eternal life. White lead in makeup. Powdered mummy. Cigarettes good for digestion, some had asbestos filters back in the day. Oh yeah, bloodletting…
Also the radioactive Boy Scout thing..

I'm reminded of a man I knew, the son of a friend of mine, whose self-published book had a chapter on the supposed health benefits of rectally administered ozone. Of course, other chapters in the book concerned the gold standard for money, why doctors know how to cure cancer but won't tell you, and doing one's own dentistry at home. He once offered me some of the smoothie he was making for breakfast, full of tasty-looking fresh peaches, raspberries etc ...then he added a big spoonful of blue-green algae powder which turned the whole thing into a sludge the unappetizing brown-green of a UPS truck. I declined.

I used to have a friend in Jr. High who always wanted to become an aeronautical engineer; eventually he did. He used to make fireworks and other stuff too. He told me one time he had been scraping off old watch dials and collecting the radium to look at; he apparently had to blow the scrapings off the dials, and he said he accidentally inhaled some of it once!
But he seems just fine today, afaik.

Just so we're engaging in the same orifices (orifiy?):

From the company's literature:

Weak Discouraged Men!
Now Bubble Over with Joyous Vitality
Through the Use of
Glands and Radium​

"If YOU are showing signs of "slowing up" in your actions and duties, perhaps long before you should—if you have begun to lose your charm, your personality, your normal manly vigor—certainly you want to stage a "comeback." The man who has lost these precious attributes of youth knows how to appreciate their value. He realizes that happiness depends on his ability to perform the duties of a REAL MAN. Sweet, glorious pleasures of life. Nature intended that you should enjoy them."

"Now is the time to act! Today! RIGHT NOW! Tomorrow may never come."

Tomorrow may never cum, indeed! Especially if one is jamming radioactive fiddly-bits up their backside.

Other dangerous quackery. Including electrical baths (Darwin Award?). You can imagine the Buga balls alien taking electrical baths and using radium, but that's about it…

Yr butt is a bad place for radium. The Maya used to give drug enemas because of the blood vessels in yr butt. See the gods. That and putting sting ray spines through yr penis or pulling thorns through your tongue. Is it worth it?

As someone who runs 3-phase right into his sauna stove, no, there's no intrinsic problem with mixing electricity and water. I would elucidate, but the kettle's just boiled.

Googled it. Looks like you're safe unless you have wiring problems. Then bzzzzt.

There are some that say the etmology of the word "leil"/"löyly" for the steam that rushes off the stones is related to the concept of "breath"/"soul"/"spirit" (https://arhiiv.eki.ee/dict/ety/index.cgi?Q=leil&F=M&C06=et , see the Udmurt to Hungarian entries). However, last year, so much soul left my sauna so quickly in a rather loud bzzzzt that it breathed no more, and took my fusebox's earth leak detector with it. But the nice man who came brought it back to life with something called a "residual current detector", which sounded like woo to me, but apparently works.
