    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie

    No, I'm pretty sure Martians are very fond of garlic.

    Hey! You leave those Martians alone! All they want to do is zap people with ray guns and turn them into red and green skeletons. And don't go pulling that Slim Whitman stuff on them, either. Ack ack! *Makes the International Sign of the Doughnt*

    I like garlic...
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    And very healthy too! Lookie what i found

    Of all garlic's reputed medicinal benefits, perhaps the most well known is its use as a natural antibiotic with reports going back through history. There are even stories of garlic being used to ward off the plague. It's not known how effective this was, however there is some evidence that anthrax is sensitive to garlic. Some people have even suggested that it might help in the fight against acne although that might be too much to hope for.
    Garlic's antibiotic properties have been more extensively studied than some of its other reputed health benefits. Louis Pasteur examined garlic's use as an antibacterial back in the nineteenth century and showed how it killed bacteria under laboratory conditions. Numerous modern studies confirm that garlic has definite antibiotic properties and is effective against many bacteria, fungi and viruses. According to Wright State University (1), garlic is approximately one per cent as potent an antibiotic as penicillin.

    Some people have reported that even blood from a garlic eater can itself kill bacteria!

    What about the breath of a garlic eater?

    Well, the breath will do the same as blood except instead of "kill" it will "ward off" and instead of bacteria, it wards off people with bacterial personalitys
