Fascic–u–what?!

I can remember as a kid, sometimes after running to play kick-the-can or any of the other street games we played, that sometimes my legs would twitch; the muscles would just kind of wiggle and bounce a little bit.

With ALS, I have been given the opportunity to once again enjoy this bizarre muscular event. But now it has a name: Fasciculation. In a strange and twisted way, they are very interesting and can even be used to bug your wife, especially lying in bed. Never pass up an opportunity to bug your wife. :-)
