Introduction
Hello. I'm a graduate student at MIT studying Machine Learning. I've become quite a fan of Wikipedia for it's great resource of mathematical and scientific information. With the help of Wikipedia, I've been able to recently cure my aphthous stomatitis (i.e. canker sores) simply by switching to a toothpaste without Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Another skin condition I've suffered from is nummular dermatitis (aka nummular eczema). I'm in the process of testing to see whether this may also be caused by Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (which, besides being found in most toothpastes, is also very common in liquid soaps and shampoos). I've switched to a bar soap without SLS to see if that will decrease the number of nummular dermatitis lesions I get.

David Ruben has an excellent cheat sheet for modern reference markup.

Did You Know?

 * Instant hand sanitizers are 62% ethyl alcohol, the same type of alcohol found in beer, wine and liquor. Yes, drinking an 8 ounce bottle of Purell (not recommended!) will get you more drunk than 10 shots of vodka.
