That is perplexing. :)

Another good one is that Ozzie was DNA-tested for resistance to common non-pharmaceutical drugs. He's virtually immune to everything except ... caffeine.

He initially declined to be tested, but then asked himself, "Why am I still alive?" :)

(There might be a genetic reason, but I think the credit should go to his strong-willed wife/manager for keeping his life together.)
