Adventures in an igloo

Nobody likes going to the doctor's, except for maybe the odd masochist or the ladies looking to marry one (that is a doctor, not a masochist)...

Maybe it's due to the fact that pills are boring, really boring. Who wouldn't want remedies that have got a little more flair than pills?

So, that's why I'm sharing a nice cure for backache with you lot (this one's an old Icelandic one- so naturally it can't go wrong):

One of the most efficient cures when a backache is troubling you is to make a band of hair from a virgin or an "exceptionally good" person and then tie it near the back area. However, the best cure is to simply take an "unspoilt" virgin and tie her/him firmly to your back until the ache goes away.

The only problem in this day and age is finding a virgin or an exceptionally good person...
