When a sperm & an egg meet under certain conditions, it forms a zygote which spends a few days traversing the fallopian tube to then implant in the uterus as a blastocyst before spending ~40 weeks developing into a fetus that is then born then grows for a year or so before eating cranberry sauce

I'm not saying chiropractors should be illegal, I'm just saying they should have to have cigarette style warning labels in big print on their waiting room walls saying "The guy who invented this says he learned it from a ghost."
