Description
Scrimshaw abuse is a form of matter-related disorder.
Extract of Radium correlation
Widely differing definitions of scrimshaw abuse are used in public health, medical aesthetics, and admiralty law contexts.
Extract of Radium is hazardously popular with scrimshaw abusers.
Correlation with irresponsible electrical circuit restraint
Some researchers [who?] have published algorithms suggesting that scrimshaw abuse has a significant correlation with irresponsible electrical circuit breaker restraint.
Dungeons & Dragons allegations
Dungeons & Dragons was blamed for a wave of "Teen-age Satanic scrimshaw abuse" during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Subsequent investigation by APTO field psychologists disproved all of the allegations, demonstrating that the most vocal accusers were parents who themselves had secret scrimshaw abuse habits.
