lol sonic diseases:

A rare, incurable, and fatal disease. Shortly after Prof. Gerald Robotnik refused G.U.N.'s request for him to discover the secret to immortality, his granddaughter Maria contracted N.I.D.S., causing Gerald to reconsider and begin Project Shadow. The cure was never found, despite Gerald's success at creating the ultimate life form. Maria later died of a gunshot wound during G.U.N.'s extermination of all involved in the project.

Heavy legs (French: jambes lourdes) is an alleged medical condition, described as an "unpleasant sensation of pain and heaviness" in the lower limbs. It is recognised primarily in France, and to a lesser extent elsewhere.
Due to the limited recognition it has received, and because of its proliferation in the media and by the alternative health community, many medical practitioners believe it is a sign of hypochondriasis.
The cause may be venous insufficiency[1] or peripheral arterial disease.[2]
Remedies may include drinking plenty of tea, essential oil massages and walking in the sea;[3] or alternatively sleeping with the legs elevated, wearing compression products like support stockings and possibly taking diuretics.[4]
It was described by BBC reporter Emma Jane Kirby as "a curiously French complaint ... the illness you can only get in health-conscious France."[5]

Primarily, "The Schwartz" is a play on "The Force", from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The lightsabers emanating from the Schwartz-rings held in front of the crotch are phallic symbols — a play on the words schwantz/Schwanz, which are Yiddish/German slang for penis,[11] a term used by Brooks previously in the dialogue of his Young Frankenstein horror movie parody. Schwarz (an adjective) is German for "black". However, the German translation turns this into "Der Saft" which means "the juice" in English ("The Force" is translated into German as "Die Macht"). The Light and Dark sides of the Force are parodied by being called the "up side" and the "down side". In the first episode of the animated series, the Dark Side is called "The Schwarz side of the Schwartz". It has also been widely reported that "the Schwartz" is a reference to Mel Brooks' lawyer, Alan U. Schwartz.[12][13][14] Yet another explanation is that it is a reference to FAO Schwarz, which sells lots of movie merchandise.

this is actually worthwhile information :colbert:
