No you wouldn't. At least not the Pergy I've come to know, the Pergy I know would at worst shrug and play it off as him not knowing everything ever. That would only happen if he was feeling petty that day or if it turned out to be something really really stupid. Like Pyramid Power and I'll be right there sulking if that happens. If they find a Yeti wandering around in Tibet one day I'm gonna pretend like I knew it all along.

Also ear candles work, at least on me. They may not be the best option but it's not that they don't work, and work better than some options.

Ear candles are weird. I've tried it, that stuff is gross! And my ear popped for days.

Medical research has shown that the practice is both dangerous and ineffective and does not help remove earwax or so-called toxins. The claim by one manufacturer that ear candles originated with the Hopi tribe has also been disproven.

Prof. Edzard Ernst has published critically on the subject of ear candles, noting, "There are no data to suggest that it is effective for any condition. Furthermore, ear candles have been associated with ear injuries. The inescapable conclusion is that ear candles do more harm than good. Their use should be discouraged."

A 2007 paper in the journal Canadian Family Physician concludes:

"Ear candling appears to be popular and is heavily advertised with claims that could seem scientific to lay people. However, its claimed mechanism of action has not been verified, no positive clinical effect has been reliably recorded, and it is associated with considerable risk. No evidence suggests that ear candling is an effective treatment for any condition. On this basis, we believe it can do more harm than good and we recommend that GPs discourage its use."

A 2007 paper in American Family Physician had this to say:

"Ear candling also should be avoided. Ear candling is a practice in which a hollow candle is inserted into the external auditory canal and lit, with the patient lying on the opposite ear. In theory, the combination of heat and suction is supposed to remove earwax. However, in one trial, ear candles neither created suction nor removed wax and actually led to occlusion with candle wax in persons who previously had clean ear canals. Primary care physicians may see complications from ear candling including candle wax occlusion, local burns, and tympanic membrane perforation."

The Spokane Ear, Nose, and Throat Clinic conducted a research study in 1996 which concluded that ear candling does not produce negative pressure and was ineffective in removing wax from the ear canal. Several studies have shown that ear candles produce the same residue when burnt without ear insertion and that the residue is simply candle wax and soot.

In October 2007, the United States Food and Drug Administration issued an alert identifying ear candles (also known as ear cones or auricular candles) as "dangerous to health when used in the dosage or manner, or with the frequency or duration, prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling thereof" ... "since the use of a lit candle in the proximity of a person's face would carry a high risk of causing potentially severe skin/hair burns and middle ear damage."

Linda Dahlstrom, health editor for MSNBC, underwent the procedure, reporting that the experience (which included a massage) was relaxing, but did not report any other positive effects from her experience. She concluded: "I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone."

As of 2008, there are at least two cases in which people have set their houses on fire while ear candling, one of which resulted in death.

That's true. I'd be much more likely to be excited about the new findings. I just thought these two pics were funny, and would be good for linking when the tin hat brigade starts spouting off.
 
Thanks, I'm now gonna spend a Friday night Googling strange hogwash I didn't even knew existed instead of spending quality time* with the lady.

*whatever's on Netflix

Dowsing is weird. We had a neighbor who worked for a well drilling company. The guy would walk out into a field with a pair of vise grips, wander around for a bit, then point to where he wanted the well dug. He hit water every time.

That's because there is water under the earth. He could have walked around with a bowl of nachos and found it too.
 
Damn it. I just bought a box of Ass Candles and now I doubt their effectiveness.
 
Oh those are easy. Birthers are racists who latched onto something that they could try to pretend wasn't racism.

Australians are what happen when you take a bunch of criminals and lock them on an island with dinosaurs, dingos, killer spiders, Great Whites and underground fires. After the first generation all the pussies had been bred out and what was left was bad ass concentrate.
