BERLIN (Reuters) - A German scientist has been testing an "anti-stupidity" pill with encouraging results on mice and fruit flies, Bild newspaper reported on Saturday.
It said Hans-Hilger Ropers, director at Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin, has tested a pill thwarting hyperactivity in certain brain nerve cells, helping stabilise short-term memory and improve attentiveness.
"With mice and fruit flies we were able to eliminate the loss of short-term memory," Ropers, 62, is quoted saying in the German newspaper, which has dubbed it the "world's first anti-stupidity pill."
Ok...so it is really more for memory than makin you less stupid. But hey, it wouldn't hurt to try it on a few stupid people you know.

Oh I know several stupid people at work alone. But seriously, for short term memory loss it might work for Alzheimer's patients. That would be great.
Oh, to hand that out to some of the patients we get at work. You know that song lyric that says, "only stupid people are breeding."? Well, how true it is, how true it is...
I think every person on the planet could use it! Especially me!
See my comment on "Hmmm!"
