This is where scientific money should go, disorders and diseases that affect people where the reasoning is not yet known or isnt not preventable. Not things like Aids.

Excellent work. Thank goodness there are people in this world that are smarter and have more drive than me.

Why would you say that?

I wonder if it would make a guy like me smarter if I took it? Maybe fire up some of the brain cells I've killed off with booze and drugs over the years?

Interesting. Remember Flowers for Algernon?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowers_For_Algernon

The story of Flowers for Algernon centers on Charlie Gordon, a mentally challenged janitor (37 years old in the original novella, 32 years old in the full novel), who volunteers to take part in an experimental intelligence-enhancing treatment. His progress parallels that of Algernon, a laboratory mouse who had been "enhanced" earlier. The story is told from Charlie's point of view and written as a journal, or progris riport, as he initially spells it, which he keeps as part of the experiment. Succeeding entries trace Charlie's ever-increasing comprehension and intelligence in the aftermath of the treatment, as he passes through "normalcy", and then reaches super-genius level. He becomes more intelligent than the doctors who invented the procedure.

That you are clearly insane and that we need to go drinking together. With Reaper. And convince him that girls like to be picked up like bowling balls.
