Cliff Claven sez:

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Wisdom from the post office .... for once.

Just out of curiosity, is your doctor monitoring your blood sugar levels? As I mentioned in a previous post raising my blood sugar makes a major big difference for me. I lived on OJ and chocolate ice cream every time I had term exams in med school a few decades ago.

Drugs in the same class as Modafinil usually interfere with insulin secretion and raise blood sugar levels. I just wonder if Modafinil does the same.

p.s. What are you getting your PHD in?

From what I understand, if you take that much LSD, it can cause flashback hallucinations, dropouts, and deja vu.

It is probably like weed or crack. It just makes them think they are smarter. This is why the Rats do things that are completely stupid and think it is brilliant.

"I down gallons of green tea a week but it didn't help me a few months ago when I lost my shopping cart at Target!"

You didn't lose it. One of the DUmmies stole it before check out, thinking they were getting over.

I actually had that happen at Home Depot. Someone stole my partially full cart. I had to start over. LOL

Lately I have begun to think that the memory problems of older age, not altzheimers, but the benign memory problems are prettty nice in a way. It is a relief not to have to remember so damn much. And much of what we remember is unpleasant if you ask me. And why do we really need to know where the car keys are? We can all just stay home, drink coffee and read a good book. Sometimes you get to read it twice if you forget what it was about.

" This could spell the end of the Democratic party."

I do believe intelligence matters: My ten year old daughter's best friend is autistic...Asberger syndrome, and tests at a genius level.
Her family are avowed leftist Quakers, except for this ten year old who is an avid internet news reader and drives her family crazy with her republican rants.
She also does this at her public school and is excused because of her autism. Though I know it drives most of her lefty teachers crazy.
