Was there goat blood on his mouth or did they burn the evidence already?

Hey it works in the movies

Traywick’s social media profile identified him as a 2008 graduate of Stanhope Elmore High School in Millbrook and a 2013 graduate of Montevallo, with a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies, including philosophy, environmental studies and sociology.

About as qualified to run a biotech firm as Odumbo was to run a country.

What if the vaccine worked and he was taken out by Big Pharma? /h

My first thought, too. A cure would suck billions away from big pharma.

Did this guy cross his genes with Tiny Tim ?

Glad someone else noticed.

I noticed but I couldn’t pull a name out of the ancient file system where Laugh In memories are stored.

For some reason I now have a desire to go to the nursery and buy Tulips for this year’s garden.

>> “and he was taken out by Big Pharma?” <<

No need!

All cures that work are immediately shut down by the FDA.

Remember “Skin Answer?” (fabulous general skin cancer cure that worked in days)

Gone with the wind.

I can see that scene in a future James Bond flick.

Target goes into a sensory deprivation tank, someone locks the lid on the outside and the bad guys raise the water level to the top of the chamber.

I made the mistake of taking a first date to that movie.

[dangerdoc]

Acyclovir is dirt cheap.

[outofsalt]

The herpes thing didn’t work out but, the sensory deprivation tank was 100% effective!

In real life the ones I have seen would not allow that to happen. They have an overflow drain like a bathtub. They are also smaller (one person) than the pics above. The tanks I saw were for magnesium therapy and more like a casket. Sound/music and lights options.
