"As the U.S. Food and Drug Administration moved to examine a potential link between Ritalin and cancer, the scientists who first unearthed the connection stressed Friday that the finding was preliminary and should not be cause for panic.

The concerns about the drug, a stimulant that has been used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for decades, surfaced during a FDA pediatrics advisory committee meeting Thursday. The findings, by researchers from the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas, showed damage to the chromosomes of 12 children who had taken Ritalin for three months."

Okay, now panic.

Do you KNOW what RITALIN IS? DO YOU? I KNOW!

I also KNOW that there are 1,000 invisible demons living in your brain, and that the only way to get them out is to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to a nonsensical "church" started by a washed-up science fiction writer.

But's that's neither here nor there.
