Alzabo elixir not so far-fetched?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I heard tell it wus a duff experiment.   THe worms who were fed chopped 
worms were on an ideal worm diet and learned faster for that reason.    
The controls had an inferior diet.
