If you don't get it, remember the 80s.

Hooters in the air?

Apparently, the Chairman of Hooters is eyeing Vanguard Airlines, which recently went tits up.

It's not as much the headline as it is the story:

Snoop Dogg Says He is Giving Up Weed and Alcohol

Still clinging to misogyny or not?

Air Canada sued for $5 million over lost cat

A couple who allege Air Canada lost their little tabby cat Fu are seeking $5 million (U.S.) in compensation.

Baseball players queer tax pitch

In a last ditch attempt to avoid a luxury tax, the players are pitching a queer tax ... or so it appeared from this headline. ;)

Jaguar brand coffee?

'Good to the last dropping:' cat poop coffee

Overhead in an Edmonton coffee shop: "This coffee tastes like shit."

You just can't make this stuff up!

Gotta love this one!

Study says use of Ecstasy party drug may harm brain

Sounds like something Homer Simpson would say, or else the reporter has been to too many raves himself :rolleyes:

MMMM.. brain harm... Extended Warranty! How can I lose!?

NBN, you clearly don't know much about e.
Just to quote your article

Quote:

In effect, they said, Ricaurte's experiment was the equivalent of giving a 150-pound person 800 milligrams of Ecstasy in six hours, or 10 tablets containing 80 milligrams, far more than the average recreational user takes in one night. That, they said, is likely why it killed one in five monkeys that received the shots.

I don't know anyone that takes more than one tab at a go, his 'research' is utterly farcical. Its like injecting 3 bottles of vodka into a monkey in 10 minutes and then using its death as proof that a glass of scotch will kill you.

Quote:

"No researcher has ever shown any dopamine damage in chronic users," said Julie Holland, a professor of psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine and author of Ecstasy: The Complete Guide -- A Comprehensive Look at the Risks and Benefits. "And no studies with animals have shown Ecstasy causes dopamine damage. But he's found a way where no one else could."

Oh! I missed this little gem down the bottom:

Quote:

The NIDA funded the study. Leshner is now chief executive of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the organization that publishes Science.

Man its worse than i thought, its not even vaguely independant, its utter FUD.

Jag,

You may have missed the point of this thread.

I don't think NBN is arguing the point of the article or supporting the study. Certainly he didn't write it, so it's unfair to describe it as "your article" and infer that NBN clearly doesn't know much about e.

Some threads are not intended to be polemic debates.

Some are just supposed to be fun.

It would be more fun if you could play along here. The humor is found in the HEADLINE. ;)

I think that counts as support. I get sick of people utterly misunderstanding ecstasy, particulary when the currant regime in the US is killing people with its hardline draconian stance on the stuff.
