Gambian President Yahya Jammeh announced he had discovered a cure for the disease that has wreaked havoc across Africa. He made that announcement in front of a group of foreign diplomats, telling them the treatment was revealed to him by his ancestors in a dream.

I hope it is.

I'm sure he will submit it for medical testing in respected labs using properly blinded, placebo controlled techiques.


After all, it's only a Nobel Prize.....who wants that Stockholm piece of crap, anyway?

At the only hospital in the capital of this tiny West African nation, a 3-year-old AIDS patient named Suleiman receives his daily dose of medication -- a murky brown concoction of seven herbs and spices served out of a bottle that once contained pancake syrup.

Seven herbs and spices? We're talking medicinal fried chicken.

Now heres a decent case for 'regime change'

Is there any indication that this hasn't changed in three years?

I wonder if those 7 herbs and spices are a closely guarded secret recipe, or is it something I can find in my Betty Crocker Cookbook?

Oy.

I knew once a physics student at RPI who claimed that the secret of cheap fusion came to him in a dream, and he became a physics major in order to make sense of that dream. Which I suppose put him on a better track than most woowoos. (The fact he got accepted into RPI indicates certain amount of working intelligence, too.)

That was 15 years ago, and I had not heard of him winnig Nobel Prize yet, so I suppose the dream was not all it was cracked up to be. But I hope he found gainful employment as a physicist.
