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."

the_rev Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Just think where we would be with John Kerry.... I don't like it.... We'd be in a immoral culture of death, more extreme then where we are now. I know return you back to your regular thought.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lahecil Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Wow, chill, it was a joke. Mi amiga and I just don't like Bush, and there's no way of telling what would've happened if Gore or Kerry won the elections, because they didn't, I agree that we'd probably have a good amount of problems with either of them, since Gore is scarey and Kerry had no personality. But I think we're already a pretty "immoral culture of death" if the president lies to send an entire country spiraling into a war that only incites even more anger from many fundamentalist Muslims. That's just my humble opinion. There are other reasons I don't like Bush too, specifically when he stated that my religion doesn't exist. I think that's reason enough there. Back to the anti-stupid pill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lahecil Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Lil Red, I wasn't commenting on you, and I'm terribly sorry if it seemed that way. I was talking about the people who were upset with my joke about Bush. I didn't mean to offend you at all. I'm sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidei Defensor Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Uh, I think we can all agree that George W. Bush isn't the brightest bulb in the pack. That doesn't make him a bad person, however. But, denying the fact that he can sometimes be a little silly is just silly on your part. Who isn't stupid some days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAF Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 How do the scientists know what the mice and flies remember? I mean, it's not like you can ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
