Sounds like a good scrabble word. But it’s the law in Iran that allows “an eye for an eye” type of punishments.

Our unborn babies are growing without enough vitamin D (a possible explanation for autism???). When we go into sunlight, our bodies go crazy making the stuff – would that happen if we did not need it?
I think not. Read and decide.

We’ve been promoting Firefox as the go-to browser here at WhippleWorld for quite a while. And we tried not to get too personal and insult those of you clinging to Internet Explorer.
