A caffeine and alcohol cocktail similar to an Irish coffee could prevent severe brain damage in stroke victims, new research has revealed. The experimental drug, called caffeinol, has the potency of two cups of strong coffee and a small shot of alcohol. When injected into rats within three hours of an artificially stimulated stroke, brain damage was cut by up to 80 per cent. Neurologist James Grotta and colleagues from the University of Texas-Houston Medical School have also now demonstrated the safety of caffeinol in a small pilot study in patients who suffered ischaemic strokes, when the artery to the brain becomes blocked and cuts off the blood supply. "Our goal was to see if we could safely achieve the same blood levels of caffeinol that we achieved in our animal studies," Grotta said. "We discovered that we could use even lower doses than we used in the animal studies and still achieve the blood levels that were neuroprotective in animals." Martin Brown, an expert in stroke medicine at University College London, told New Scientist: "It's a very exciting approach but we will have to wait and see how further clinical trials go. It's encouraging they've managed to produce the same levels in humans." Drugs that work in animals often fail because humans cannot tolerate the required doses.

Queenie:
oh my god, I can't believe the blatant disregard of simple driving rules from people dropping off their kids at school in the morning. A four-way stop with a crosswalk, a big flashing school zone sign with lights, a big old "yield to pedestrians, motherfucker" sign and still you have to fight your way across the street. today this lady plows through the stop sign as we're crossing the crosswalk and I make eye contact with her and still she doesn't stop. She has to be all clever and get as close to me and sidney as she can to prove a point -- she's got the car so I should yield to HER. well fuck her. I stood right in front her her fucking car and said "it's a CROSSWALK". And I'm never confrontational like that with people, but goddamn was I pissed. And she looked at me like I was a jerk. Fuck off.

Queenie:
and there's a "right turn only" sign at the exit of the parking lot that NO ONE obeys. So when school gets out, they have to have kids stand on the corner with great big signs saying "Please! Right turn only!" and still people turn left. I mean, jesus god, it's KIDS, why would you not drive safe around KIDS?

OK I feel better now.

(Thu Apr 24, 2003 - 11:44:01 am)

Froupie:

Mrs Dr GB:
Bird and I were watching some lame-arsed live quiz show the other day. A wordie one. They give you the first and last letters of a word and you have to make up a word that fits in the gap. The first and last letters were "F" and "R". Bird shouted out "Fucker". She should apply to go on this show.

We're only a click away. Like zoo animals, we're here for everyones amusement. Pouring out our deepest secrets for the world to see. Like this morning I went to make pancakes and eggs. I made the pancakes, Tabasco in the batter as usual, so I started breaking eggs. 4 of them, when the last one had this huge yolk. Twice as big as the rest of them. That made me happy.

A Canadian is walking down the street with a case of beer under his arm.
His friend Doug stops him and asks, "Hey Bob! Whacha get the case of beer for?"

"I got it for my wife, eh." answers Bob.

"Oh!" exclaims Doug, "Good trade."

An American, a Scot and a Canuck were in a terrible car accident. They were all brought to the same emergency room, but all three of them died before they arrived. Just as they were about to put the toe tag on the American, he stirred and opened his eyes. Astonished, the doctors and nurses present asked him what happened.

"Well," said the American, "I remember the crash, and then there was a beautiful light, and then the Canadian and the Scot and I were standing at the gates of heaven. St. Peter approached us and said that we were all too young to die, and that for a donation of $100, we could return to the earth."

He continued, " So of course, I pulled out my wallet and gave him the $100, and the next thing I knew I was back here."

"That's amazing!" said one of the doctors, "But what happened to the other two?"

"Last I saw them," replied the American, "the Scot was haggling over the price and the Canadian was waiting for the government to pay for his."
