I'm Human

· 29 Dec '08 ·
Well, folks it's with remorse that I have to confirm that I am indeed human after all. After years of immaculate health without a single cold, I'm sad to say I've now got a cold - and a very snotty one at that. I've got so much snot pouring out of my head and down my throat I don't know ...

On My To Becoming a Genius

Scientist have discovered that one or two beers a day is actually good for your memory. That's right, beer can actually make you smarter. They speculate that this is due to some sort of receptor being blocked by the low dose of alcohol.

Rejecting ARVs = More Cash

· 03 Sep '07 ·
It seems there's a growing trend in South Africa for people to stop taking the government supplied anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs in a bid to ensure they continue to get the disability grant. South African law, like many other countries' laws, regards having HIV and AIDS as a disability. This in turn entitles people to various disability grants. Quite rightly, the ...
