I would guess, as a percentage, very close to three figures.

Yeah, I'm sure that was an inspiration when they were coming up with the name

I love those things though, I could eat a million of the glorious little bastards.

Seattle woman claimed it a few years ago. She almost died after a month of proper observation.

Unless you can use the cosmic energy to create matter to replace lost body cells, basic biology will kill you from lack of food every time.

Some Ozzie by the pseudonym of Jasmuheen kicked of the current fad, she of course finds reaons why she cant emulate it under strict observation.

Reading further:

Charleena Lyles was shot after police saw her holding a knife, the Seattle Times reported.

Seattle Police issued a statement in which they said Ms Lyles was "armed with a knife" and "confronted" two police officers who had responded to the call.

Detective Mark Jamieson said that police were familiar with Ms Lyles and said her home had a "hazard information" warning for any officers responding to calls there.

Two officers were sent to the scene instead of one because it “presented an increased risk to officers".

Ms Lyles was arrested on 5 June harassment, obstruction of a public official, and harassment of a law enforcement officer, according to the newspaper.

Ms Lyles' sister Monika Williams said that her sister was released on the recommendation that she seek mental health counselling, but it is unclear if that was the case or if she was receiving any such care. She said that Ms Lyles had "mental health issues" for but did not provide any further detail.
So, if you call the police, don't answer the door with a deadly weapon. Particularly if you have previous history.
