Explosive cranial dispersal: 20%
There's a stupid ad for some medical product, which says "In clinical trials, the most common side effect was headache".
A curiously evasive and meaningless statement. The moment I heard it, I immediately realized that the lab results must have looked something like this:
Side effect | Incidence |
Headache | 99% |
Massive brain haemorrhage | 98% |
Malignant cancer of the genitals | 92% |
Tertiary syphilis | 85% |
Windows NT | 76% |
Smallpox | 40% |
Death of one kidney | 33% |
Explosive cranial dispersal | 20% |
Total body ionization | 11% |
So beware.
