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."
How soon till the pills are available for surrender monkeys? First up will be Kerry, Kennedy, Murtha, Pelosi, Fiengold, McCain, Voinnavitch, Conyers, cBS News, all members of the DU, the Daily Kosbat, and (never)MoveOn.
Plenty more could be added to the list. Who do you recommend?
