Yes, I realize that it's not even six in the morning and I'm in my underwear watching The Elegant Universe. I realize what a total nerd that makes me.
It turns out that this episode of Nova (one of my favorite programs) is brought to me by, among others, the Howard Hughes Institute for Medical Research. I just cracked myself up imagining what it would be like to be a patient there. I expect it would go a little like this:
"Hi there, and welcome to the Howard Hughes Institute. Now, scrub with this Brillo pad until you bleed... Good, now pee in this jar. It's okay, you can taste it just a little if you want. Oh, and never clip your fingernails. All cured!"
Holy fucking nerd am I.
