Mmmmm.... BRAINS!
There are three things in this world I truly hope to see in my lifetime:
1 – Flying cars. I want one, you want one. C’mon - admit it.
2 – Bush admit that “gee whiz, maybe we didn’t have any business invading Iraq.” (Good luck on ever seeing that one. You might as well ask for the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus to say that.)
But number 3 on my Most Wanted list? It’s got to be this one:
* * * * * *
You know anybody who needs an "anti-stupid" pill?
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German scientist has been testing an "anti-stupidity" pill with encouraging results on mice and fruit flies, Bild newspaper reported Saturday.
It said Hans-Hilger Ropers, director at Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin, has tested a pill thwarting hyperactivity in certain brain nerve cells, helping stabilize short-term memory and improve attentiveness.
"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."

Anti-stupid pills. I’d buy them by the truckload, and make it my life’s work to slip them into the coffee of many, many people I know. Maybe even drop a case or two into the local water reservoir, just so I’m certain that all bases are covered.
Imagine – no more stupid drivers. No more dim neighbors. No more brainless politicians.
It’s almost too much to ask for, isn’t it?
