The Latest Medical Miracle




While reading the headlines this morning, and this article caught my eye:






We have created the ultimate hangover cure in a pill (just in time
for Christmas), claim U.S scientists



Wow, that's great! Medical science that we can really use, right? Then I read the actual article to find out more about this great discovery. Uhm:



Hailed as a miracle cure by its maker, the pill contains 500 milligrams of aspirin, 60 milligrams of caffeine and an antacid to soothe upset stomachs.


Yup, that's quite the 'miracle' cure you've invented there. Nobody ever tried treating a hangover with aspirin, caffeine, and antacid before, right?



Jesus Christ on toast, but it don't take much to qualify for miracle status these days.
