Introduction I've got BiPolar Disorder. Type One. Which means that besides spending much of my life in a depressed state, I've been known to hit manic highs resulting in psychosis. The first time I embarked on one of these adventures I was hospitalised within 3 days and diagnosed as Paranoid Schizophrenic (probably because I was convinced that I was the Second Messiah, come to rescue the world from Evil). That conviction was only ended 3 months later with 6 sessions of ECT (aka shock treatment).

Sponges and tongues are frequently misspelled. Is it because both are thirsty?
