Need an "anti-stupid" pill?
Via Yahoo News:
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."
Can we give it to our pro-death politicians? On second thought, it probably wouldn't do any good. Their problem is not one with the mind or the body, but with the soul.
I can see this pill selling like hotcakes on our college campuses during semester and final exams.
