mark Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Well, they've come up with a cure for aids. It's a new chemical compound called trinoacetol.DL
CoffeeFiend Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 No, it's not a cure but a vaccine - there's quite a difference from preventing infection through imminuzation and curing someone already infected. And it's not quite proven safe yet (phase 1 trial, not quite like we've studied long term effects or possibilities like birth defects and such). The other phases (2 and 3) will better show if it's safe (that and time - because sometimes things are said safe and then are pulled from the market later, like vioxx was recently). Either ways, it's always nice to see we're making progress against diseases such as AIDS or cancer (I'm very much looking forward to advances in pain management myself).Perhaps you've mistakenly picked the wrong section though. I fail to see any reason why this belongs in the "funny farm".

CoffeeFiend Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Try-No-A$$-At-All (trinoacetol)Wow. Hadn't even bothered reading that part... And even then it still depends on the local accent. I just assumed he was referring to these news. Oh well. I guess this one made that old "woosh!" sound way over my head
mark Posted August 26, 2006 Author Posted August 26, 2006 It never crossed my mind that the joke would go off in this dirrection. Yep, ricktendo is correct, the conversation after the joke is funnier. Thanks guys.DL
