WARNING: Reading the BMW-Digest can be detrimental to your health.

An alarming number of these cases have been reported. Patients display symptoms which are both unique and mysterious, after having come into contact with an addictive literary source known underground as The Bee-M-DIGEST. The medical fraternity has labeled it 'freakus bimmus talkus crappus'. Strangely, on admission, most patients put their initials down as BMW, and their zip code as E36M3. We seem to admit an alarming number of patients with the surname Winkelhock and Soper. When asked if they have any special needs, 92% have been reported to mutter hysterically "Must have one, must have one.." As yet no association has been identified, and work is in progress to uncover any documentation pertaining to a mythical god-like figure, a Mr JimC.

Patients having come in contact with said Bee-M digest, talk incessantly about items such as cinder blocks, incandescant lighting, potholes, autocross, hooters and short-shift kits ??? A wide array of side-effects are on record, and amongst others, patients display an unusual affinity for a seemingly simple geometrical phenonemon, known as 'The Quadrants.' They have been known to display extreme aggression if the number 7 is loosely mentioned in the same breath as the letters R and X. Gloating and bragging are not uncommon traits, whilst sarcasm and lack of respect for junior nurses is most evident. Obsessive Compulsive behaviour has been documented, and this ailment often leaves the sufferer writing the letter M uncontrollably on any surface they may find.

They have been known to communicate using a secret coding, and researchers have been unable to crack codes such as RM3DR1, EPROM, 8LYFGR& and BadDog. Patients have been known to undertake hunger strikes unless their demands for pizza and beer are met, and when schnitzel is cooked, they keep muttering "Schnitzer, not Schnitzel". Nurses have been warned that unless the drug ASC (AyStopyerCrap) has been administered, that patients' hands may wander uncontrollably around some of their more curvy parts.

We fear a number of patients will be admitted from all over the US in the next month, when a cult gathering, known underground as the Pizzafest takes place. This secret meeting is being closely guarded by the Benz-police, and a number of housewives have offered assistance. Most gatherings are easily dispersed by placing a Lexus in the parking lot.
