This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Hey science actually backs you up. I'm gonna go with the most basic and awesomest source; Mythbusters did a myth that proved swearing increases your pain tolerance. (Also the busted myth, if anything, seems to prove the opposite. Hey redheads did you know you're also more likely to have higher tolerance to anesthesia?)
