    As an outsider to the scientific community, I wanted to know more about whatever the heck Parafilm is. I’ve definitely been educated 😆

      South park had an episode about a guy who advocated to give people aides to help them with getting fit and organize their life. Except it sounded like the dude went around saying he wants to give aids to children
