That says zero milligrams. For zero magnesium it would need to be 0Mg. I am fun at parties.

However, zero milligrams is still a valid response to the doctor's statement as they have 0mg of Mg, and an amuzing twist on OMG in the same way as 0Mg would be. Therefore the joke still works, even after we've examined it in detail.

I talk to plants at parties.

Ahh, I see this place keeps the old reddit tradition of copying comments from the last posting of the same post.

Maybe we just think alike :)
