We never cease looking out for our readers' welfare. Have you had five servings of whole grains today? Were you sure to take your vitamin supplements? And while eating a whole can of frosting with your finger while watching "Sports Disasters" on TLC, did you wash your hand first?
In the same vein, we must remind you of another danger to your health and career: being Marcus Vick. We present to you the EDSBS Quiz: Are You Marcus Vick?
You may be this man. Take a quiz and leave no doubt!
