Traveled cross the sea,
To hunt her prey in foriegn lands,
And snuggle with Acci!

Is getting married now they say
Though little Accipiter

I’m curious as to how much research has been conducted on some of these things. I’m left handed, eat barbequed meat, eat bread, take the train to school and many of those other things, but I haven’t died of cancer yet. I’d say what they’ve done is get some people who have cancer, asked them questions about their life and said these are possible things that have caused your cancer. But I don’t get how global warming can cause cancer.
