Default Rat poison for the placebo?

http://www.bonkersinstitute.org/rat.html

from:
Bonkers Institute for Nearly Genuine Research

Advancing in the direction of bona fide medical science since last Tuesday

OMG !
I must have been living in a cave much longer than I thought. That website contains a staggering amount of very well researched humour, laced with anger. You MUST read the proposal to use rate poison as a placebo =--= it is on the compulsory reading list; it is brilliant.
But hold on now - your homework is not finished. Below this joke article, there is a list of sources, and they are not jokes. This is a brilliant parody of scientific writing, but at the bottom, the sources are not joking at all.
I had no idea that kind of writing was out there.

Default ohh it is good!

gosh when an article like that has an understandable logic, you know we're in trouble.

hats off to the authors for the perfect irony in this message.
i only skimmed it before and had to leave. it's quite good actually.

It is awesomely brilliant. It should be a part of the up-coming Parkinson's awareness month, along with an explanation of the triage system for deciding who gets sinemet. I am all in favor of Parkinson's awareness, and this amazingly knowledgeable parody of medical research is something that brings a lot of awareness. Read it over again and select some sentences that really hit you. And keep a copy of it; someday you will go looking for it again.

Default 0ff track let's tie it all together

how about checking your security issues and then treat yourselves to
http://www.bonkersinstitute.org/index.html

now please hear and see and comprehend this next statement, i really mean it......that includes people who are in leadership positions and ready to run around a few blockades and score for the patient in this futurama nightmare, it's flowing tonight..lol

it' s a strange time, with many challenges and coincidences. the trust comes only from communicating and that's what mike fox and some of his pwp friends and associates need to do now.

it's time to put some meat on what the fundraising is being used for. Patients need to follow some of these trails and write it up for the book.... about 300 words, and what graphics you think would work, send jpegs. please clear it with lindy and girija and criteria and an excerpt is coming.

lindy and pam and others will post soon about this; i am obviously not in any shape to type.

my worst hour..sundown
nevertheless, we need some good humorous conversation.
