    The disease of Kings. Who suffers from Gout ?

    With a history spanning more than 4,500 years, gout is among our earliest recorded diseases. Hippocrates, traditionally regarded as the father of medicine, called it “the unwalkable disease”, because it was very painful for people with gout to walk.
    Many famous historical figures suffered with gout, including Christopher Columbus, Henry VIII, Benjamin Franklin and Beethoven. It became known as “the disease of kings”.
    This moniker also reflects the fact gout has historically been associated with indulging in rich food and excessive alcohol. Scientific evidence today suggests this may have something to do with it, though the common belief drinking port specifically causes gout is unfounded.

    Mine's got an overdrive RoadRanger, that'll outwit 90% of drivers, including many of the young "truck drivers".
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    You'll never find out first hand, will you? I've never had gout, but I've had plenty of culture.

    You need to keep your wits about you, swapping back and forth between an RTO 10 and RTO 18.
