[R-390] Ramblings on Calibration

[Barry]

Of course, as with so many other drugs they advertise these days, the
side-affects might be nausea, projectile vomiting, projectile diarrhea,
hair-loss, sweating, weight-gain, blurry vision, outer-body experiences,
visions of sugar plums, and other things, but this might just be worth
looking into.
