I gues this being in FUN means that this a joke? I can find no other reference to 'neti pot' other than http://blogs.webmd.com/breaking-news/20 ... -pots.html which is about a vessel used for sinus relief.

The article uses no references and appears highly subjective, but I think to the author, this is considered 'serious'

I considered putting it in the strain section as a joke. This website, I hate to have to explain this, is the perfect example of Poe's Law. Much like the Onion mocks news, this site mocks fundamentalism. Now that I explained it, I'll sneak more examples of this excellent journalism in various threads for the enjoyment of ACDers.

Thanks for the explaination. I love satire and am a big fan of many satirical venues. Surprised and disappointed with myself for not spotting it, guess I have been fundamentally damaged.
