Godwin is on record saying that most ( >99%?) invocations of "Godwin's Law" incorrectly assume what the law is and what it means. Are you sure you know what Godwin's Law is, and what it means? Are you sure that this qualifies, given the context of the article - and the known advocacies of some vegetarians/vegans and their known, documented risks of abnormal behavior caused by improper nutrition? Note that it is universally deemed inappropriate to cry "Godwin's Law" in a thread about Nazis. Just like it is inappropriate to cry "wolf!" when there are none or when you are one in the midst of a wolf pack. Extendedly.

Also: Some cannibal lecturned: I think we should start eating unconscious people! People in comas, anyone you can knock down with some blunt instrument, newborn babies... yum!

Well, Ravi, I think you should prove your premise, by eating your own appendages that are not useful in producing wisdom like the above. We want pictures as evidence. One modest proposal deserves another, right? Otherwise, STFU. Stop being a whiny bitch SNAG and man up, for god's sake. You are embarrassing those of us who actually give a shit.
