...the middle America just wants "science" in the dust bin and back to safe, faith based engineering subjects.

Can you even imagine a faith based engineer?:

- The Lord will split the river in two for us to build the dam, amen.
- Let's pray to Jesus Christ this holy bridge, made in the image of Moses' Ark, holds its own.

Might sound silly, but if some zealots have their way in changing education content, say, with stuff like intelligent design... who knows

Submission + - Using Viagra to combat jet-lag

Submitted by SpeedyGonz on Wednesday May 23, 2007 @08:10AM

SpeedyGonz writes: A research team from the Quilmes National University in Argentina has found that a light to moderate dose of Viagra helps recover from jet lag a 50% faster. According to reuters, a group of male hamsters were subjected to changing lighting patterns to simulate the effect known as jet-lag, then a portion of them received the drug. Viagra interferes with an enzyme that lowers levels of a naturally occurring compound that plays a role in the regulation of the circadian cycle, the body's internal clock, the researchers said.
