Ahh… but is the issue of stupidity one of retention or initial absorption? Ponder ponder ponder…

This seems more like a memory loss pill than an Anti-stupidity pill. My DH needs it....

No thanks docs you can keep your pills especially considering what they test the drugs on, some hippies from the 60's might like to give it a whirl though.

Can you imagine, we fixed short term memory loss but in tests on humans it erases long term memory.:D

This was my thought too when I heard about this. And if they CAN test short term memory in a fruit fly - why are they testing it??? I know there are things MUCH more needed than this!! I sure it was government funded of course
