I read last week
that a group of the world’s leading scientists have once again made an
enormously important discovery that will alter the lives of
mankind. Apparently a team of researchers has identified a gene
associated with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), which is the common sleep
disorder causing tens of millions of people worldwide to have restless
nights. This is a tremendous win for science because even though
people are dying left and right from cancer, AIDS, and a host of other
terrible diseases and conditions, we are now one step closer to
figuring out why many wives kick their husbands while in bed. I
checked with my sources and this isn’t the only major breakthrough that
science has made in recent months. Below I’ll outline some of the more
impressive discoveries and projects currently being worked on. According to my sources we have now
learned that staying inside can actually protect humans from skin
cancer and other diseases of the epidermis. At first many people
ridiculed the theory but an international team working in Daytona Beach
discovered almost by accident that when they remain inside they seem to
get less sunburn. Eight out of ten people who work from
home have been in fewer car accidents during rush hour than those who
endure a daily commute. Tests are inconclusive but one expert
says this may be due to the fact that they don’t own cars. Apparently jumping off tall buildings
and trying to fly can cause serious injury and / or death. Human
trials are to continue this summer but so far all clinical trials using
monkeys and elephants have proven successful. Drinking milk may be the leading cause
of those mysterious white mustaches appearing on both men and
women. Researchers say the preliminary findings are still just
theory and a cure may be fifteen to twenty years away. Cheese may be the food that makes
people the happiest. This theory came out of nowhere but so far
EVERY mouse tested has proven cheese can make you just plain
giddy. When asked outside Disney World, Mickey Mouse was quoted
as saying “Abso-Freakin-Lutely”. Worrying too much can cause
stress. Doctors have toiled over this one for years but have
become too obsessed with it to continue and have turned to studying
herbal remedies. An international team of physicians
has learned that making love to strange women can cause divorce among
married men. So far the results of women making love to strange
men are inconclusive because the husbands failed to listen when the
women admitted their infidelity. After a thirty year trial scientists
in New England have concluded that mowing your lawn in the nude causes
“Sunburned Bottom Syndrome” or SBS. My source tells me that forty
seven test subjects were arrested over the course of these trials but
luckily our tax dollars were used to bail them out. Driving over the speed limit can cause
serious harm or death but may actually take you to your destination
quicker than driving the limit. Again, tests are inconclusive
because the police would not cooperate with the scientists. Walking up stairs can actually take
you to a higher altitude. I don’t have a lot of information on
this breakthrough but I’m excited at the possibilities. Another discovery that cost tax payers
over one billions dollars: Thanksgiving is in November followed
by Christmas in December. This one blew me away. I had
always suspected but apparently now it has been proven. Bigfoot
is actually a middle aged man from the Bronx, NY who after breaking up
with his girlfriend had an overdose of Rogaine. The former
girlfriend testified that she made fun of his baldness and feels just
terrible about the situation. So you see folks, it isn’t always going to be the cure for Polio or the advent of penicillin. Sometimes it’s the obscure things for which we can thank the world of science and medicine. |
