Why does the terror victim appear to be so happy?

OK...so he's like Elaine's doctor boyfriend on "Seinfeld" who yelled to the unconscious person, "Elevate your legs!"

ETA: The depiction of Dylan whistling was actually quite good...it's not easy working with such primitive drawing tools!

You could take a page from the Troofer's handbook and just redefine the word "hilarious".

I think the reason troofers are often humor-impaired is that having a sense of humor requires a little reasoning ability -- to "get the joke" you must be able to sense how the logic of the joke has been twisted into a humorous configuration.

Sadly, it seems that this is beyond the abilities of many troofers.

Or post it in case anyone else has questions.

After creating your comic, pressing the Publish button, and confirming everything is correct, the site will show a full size image of your comic. Right-click on the image and select properties. Among other things it will list the filename with it's web address. Copy the whole web address to your clipboard.
To add the image to a post, click the Insert Image button (looks like two mountain peaks and the sun with a yellow sky) Paste the web address in and you're ready to go. If you can't find the button just paste the address in the reply window and put img and /img tags (with square brackets around them) before and after the address.

Undesired Walrus, I couldn't help noticing that your latest batch of strips are getting rather morbid....

[NobbyNobbs]

Or post it in case anyone else has questions.

After creating your comic, pressing the Publish button, and confirming everything is correct, the site will show a full size image of your comic. Right-click on the image and select properties. Among other things it will list the filename with it's web address. Copy the whole web address to your clipboard.
To add the image to a post, click the Insert Image button (looks like two mountain peaks and the sun with a yellow sky) Paste the web address in and you're ready to go. If you can't find the button just paste the address in the reply window and put img and /img tags (with square brackets around them) before and after the address.

Thank you so much. Very kind.

Here's my first attempt.

The patent for Tahitian Noni Juice is for use as a drain cleaner.

[robinson]

Really? A quick check finds no evidence for that. There was this however:

Scientific studies have investigated noni's effect on the growth of cancerous tissue. One such study found that noni inhibited and reduced growth of the capillary vessels sprouting from human breast tumor explants and, at increased concentrations, the noni caused existing vessels to rapidly degenerate.

(January 2003) "Inhibition of angiogenic initiation and disruption of newly established human vascular networks by juice from Morinda citrifolia (noni)". Angiogenesis 6 (2): 143-9. ISSN 0969-6970.


Another scientific study showed one brand of noni juice to have prevented formation of cancer cells in rats (using detection methods of bio-chemical markers called DNA adducts). It further showed to reduce the number of DNA adducts in rats induced with carcinogenic DMBA, in some cases, by up to 90%. The same study then also looked at the effective anti-oxidant properties of this Tahitian Noni brand of noni juice, (via LPO and TNB-SAR assays) comparing with the free-radical properties of vitamin C, grape seed powder (GSP), and pycnogenol (PYC) at the daily dose per serving level recommended by U.S. RDAs or manufacturers. This noni juice brand was shown to be more effective than all three. Their conclusion: "The results suggest that prevention of carcinogen-DNA adduct formation and the antioxidant activity of TNJ may contribute to the cancer preventive effect of Morinda citrifolia."

Wang MY, Su C (December 2001). "Cancer preventive effect of Morinda citrifolia (Noni).". Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 952: 161-8. PMID: 11795436.

Now back to them funny comix.

Although it seems to be Hawaiian noni juice, rather than Tahitian. Better plant, or better marketing?

Where do you find Noni on that page? I read the patent, it doesn't mention Noni at all.

It is mentoned here -
http://www.google.com/patents?id=4wYkAAAAEBAJ&dq=noni+juice

But not in any way as a drain cleaner.

I found claims it makes it shiny and thick. While I find no scientific basis for this, the juice is a potent insecticide for ridding the scalp and hair of insects.:wackywink:

Just to be sure we're reading the same thing, it's patent 4666606. If you click the "read this patent" button, it takes you to an image of the actual patent, with the search terms highlighted. "Noni" appears in col. 4, lines 50-68, and at least a few more times in col. 5 and 6.

It doesn't apear in the claims, which is the majority of the text on the page I directly linked to, but if you can get the image as mentioned above, you should see it.


ETA: tsg's link gives you a full text version of the description, so you could search that for "noni" as well.

[Horatius]

So, who is going to do the "floorwax/dessert topping" comic for Noni juice?

[robinson]

http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.htm&r=13&f=G&l=50&d=PTXT&p=1&p=1&S1=xeronine&OS=xeronine&RS=xeronine

In that Patent, Noni is the raw material for extracting Xeronine, the juice is not used. Oddly enough, I find other studies claiming there is no Xeronine in Noni at all.

Now back to them comix and stuff. Science is boring.

[tsg]

It should also be noted that Dr. Ralph Heinicke, the listed inventor on the patent application, is on the Advisory Board (http://www.tahitiannoni.com/united_states/english/retail/company/press/spokespeople/doctors/19310-Dr.RalphHeinicke.html) of Tahitian Noni International.

At the time I was researching this (it may have changed since then), that was the only patent I could find for either Tahitian Noni or Dr. Ralph Heinicke, while the Tahitian Noni website included a claim of Noni Juice being patented. The patent claim appeared with the usual "non health claims" that allow them to lead you to believe it will cure everything from arthritis to cancer without having to be regulated by the FDA. Of course, what wasn't on the website was that the patent was for use as drain cleaner.

If there is a desire for further discussion, I would suggest starting another thread.

[robinson]

YES! Don't despoil this thread with science and stuff.
