Amazed Boffins Probe Ozzy's Genetic Code

[rayofreason]

Scientists are to map Ozzy Osbourne's genetic code in a bid to find out how he is still alive after decades of drug and alcohol abuse.

The former Black Sabbath frontman is only one of a few people in the world to have his full genome analysed.

It is hoped the results from the £27,000 test, which takes three months, will provide information on how drugs are absorbed in the body.

2. Well - pickled certainly. Nt

3. Exactly what I was going to say.

Awhile back Keith hurt himself falling out of a coconut tree. He's what, about a hundred years old and still feels like climbing trees like that? Casual sex, drugs, booze and chain smoking: the secret to a long healthy life. I guess.

4. I am about Keiths age

and I could not climb a tree if someone had a gun to my head.

Maybe I gave up sex and drugs to soon? I will never give up rock'n roll!


whoops! I just checked his bio and he is about three years younger than I am

that 'splains it:hide:

Heroin pickles you from the inside.
