Linda Ronstadt and Ozzy Osbourne are a couple of other famous people with it.
- arp242 6y agoIt's a small miracle that Ozzy Osbourne is still alive at the age of 71 at all, considering his decades of alcohol and drug abuse were wild and excessive even by "sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll" standards. He maxed out on constitution during character creation.
- mariuolo 6y agoHe wrote a book about it (Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy). He basically says "don't do like I did".
- vanderZwan 6y ago> I guess i would say it doesn’t really matter how it happened. Maybe not on an individual level, but if it was (for example) the salmon near the factory then that might affect thousands of people and it would be important to stop this at the source. Tangentially related: I recently learned from a YT interview with James Burke that modern epidemiology was born when John Snow identified the true cause of the 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak using statistics and an accidental double-blind experiment set-up[0][1]. So I do understand Fox' bewilderment that five people from the same set developing Parkinson's disease is not considered worthy of follow-up research.
