<< <i>The patient's rare condition is called pica, a compulsion to eat things not normally consumed as food. Its name comes from the Latin word for magpie, a bird thought to eat just about anything.
Pica can take the form of eating dirt, ashes, chalk, hair, soap, toothbrushes, burned matches and many other things. Francois once treated a patient who ate forks. Most such objects are small enough to pass on their own, but some must be removed by doctors.
The condition is perhaps best known in children and pregnant women but is also sometimes linked to psychiatric illness. >>
I thought pica was a typeface on old typewriters.

Hey, at least the guy had good taste in what he ate.

We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
Welp, there goes my bucket idea...
Please forgive me for posting this thread. I so desparately try to read each and every thread before starting the few posts that I do. However, I only have one good eye, I work 22 hours a day, I use a 9600 modem, and I live in an igloo so it's difficult for me to keep up sometimes.
PLEASE don't beat me for I ment no harm.
