#9  STM loss beats the results of not taking rad treatments. Best of luck Jackal, hope it all goes well for you. Not to worry about the news though, it's ground hog day round here.

#8  Must have found a new way to package rat poison. Genius! Label a couple of pallets as "Allah's Israel-B-Gone Pills" and ship them to the MMs in Iran. Problem solved in less than a week.

#7  Actually, if this were already available, I might be a customer. One of the possible side-effects of My radiation treatment is STM loss. So far, it hasn't happened, but I have 5 weeks to go.

#6  Old joke I heard about 60 years ago:
After being coerced, a lad hands his tormentor some pills and tells him they are Smart Pills. The tormentor tosses a couple in his mouth then exclaims, "These take like rabbit shit." The lad replies, "now, you're getting smart."

#5  Um... I don't think solving a short term memory problem is anti-stupid. Anti-forgetful, maybe. Stupid is the lack of involvement of permenate synapse connections. Can't cure stupid, or lefties, but then I repeat myself.

#4  Never mind you, #3 anon - get a bunch, grind them up and dissolve them in drinks, and give the drinks to the Lefties.

Hilarity will ensue. ;-p

"With mice and fruit flies we were able to eliminate the loss of short-term memory," Ropers, 62, is quoted saying in the German newspaper, which has dubbed it the "world's first anti-stupidity pill."


Brilliant! Now, let's start creating a list of people they should be sent to (BIIIG list)
