Glad that he’s finally allowed to take a relaxing bath in Epsom salt (MgSO4·7H2O) following rotator cuff surgery a week ago.
The Idiot, who spent the afternoon floating in a post-op salt bath to relax his mind and body, was able to exactly duplicate the elevated salt levels that he found in the Birket al-Maraqi Lake in Siwa, Egypt. Selfie to follow.
