The sailor Man and spinach

Popeye the Sailor Man first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s. The sailor in that cartoon eats lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33% more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetables.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than other green vegetables.
People thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.
Today, we know that the little iron in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else that the body needs—folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that makes Popeye strong.

ohhhhh kayyyyyy.

I knew it was just a matter of time before cronies from the Folic Acid lobby made their way into our little slice of internet paradise.

I was going to remove this thread, but seeing as how I have no idea what it's about, I suppose I can't rightly call it spam. I guess it stays, then. Definitely getting moved to Intermission, though.

I love spinach, garlic and portabella mushrooms on a pizza.

Make an ass of myself just once and they never let me live it down!

Ha.....you expected otherwise.

It ate some folic acid and got strong.

I ate some antacid and got white-colored bowel movements...does that count for being strong if I did not pass out on the loo?

I've done that on Christmas. It helps me have a more White Christmas.

That first post is just so completely random. I wonder if the person that posted that just does that to amuse themselves or if their was in fact some sort of point to it.

They seem to think that there's a place for something like that when talking of movies. Maybe 'cause it's Popeye? I don't know, but I don't think they meant to make a fool of themselves or anyone, seems pretty serious.
