I, um, heard that once a person's already become sick, ingesting vitamin C or echinacea doesn't help him recover from a cold more quickly. Actually, I saw that on Scientific American Frontiers; MIT had done a study. But that type of information is deemed holy truth until another study comes along that refutes it, which happens all the time. Airhead newscaster: "Studies show chocolate fights cancer! Stay tuned; that's up at 10."

I'm quite well, thanks for asking. I'm watching The Misfits on PBS (Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable is an interesting/odd pairing).

I was only half paying attention to the movie because the acting was a bit over the top for my taste. But even if a classic movie doesn't have a great storyline, I tend to enjoy it visually.

Ah, nothing like gut instinct. Deriving mortivation from our crappy innards has to be God's greatest gift to us, his children.
