I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but I just couldn't resist not passing this along. Apparently, being stupid is no longer going to be an excuse. In Germany, scientists are working on an "anti-stupid pill." I heard about this yesterday on the radio. The story can be seen here on yahoo news . Here's the story:
We have viagra, and now a pill's going to be coming out for the stupid people...do you think they can cure hairloss next?BERLIN (Reuters) - A German scientist has been testing an "anti-stupidity" pill with encouraging results on mice and fruit flies, Bild newspaper reported on 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 stabilise 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."
