My father actually used some electronic machine to fight pain in his back and, as far as I remember, he mentioned he had rheumatitis, but he never talks about it now, so I guess he doesn't feel pain in his back anymore, but I'll call him today and ask him about it.

Not only have you heard of it, but you're dad may have suffered from it
OK, Oleg, you got me there, I walked right into that one.

Belief in god helps only a person's psychological state. Belief in a placebo has an equivalent effect as belief in god. In controlled studies, placebos have been shown to have positive effects, but in no situation does it even compare to actual verifiable medical treatments.

Okay, guys, I confused radiculitis with rheumatoid. I just spoke to my father on the phone and he told me that many years ago he had radiculitis, but he never had rheumatoid.

Sooooo glad you got that cleared up

Oleg knows his father???! Sure glad I didn't place money on that one...

Ha, now I recommend starting a thread called: "Ask Oleg's father". It'll be intended for questions we want Oleg to pose to his father when he phones him.

This will be like that one time where Martin Sheen guest starred on Two and a Half Men.

EDIT: I'm assuming half a person will get the joke, so if nobody gets it, I'd be willing to explain it.

It can't be any better than Martin Sheen's cameo in Hot Shots

Martin Sheen guest starred as Rose's father; Rose being a psychopath and stalker, her dad was assumed sane until he got on-screen and then he was discovered to be a psychologically unstable realtionship-desperate house-sitting slob.

I drew a parallel to Oleg.
