    I can't wait to buy the "Super Branflakes", fortified with 1461 proteins!!!!! I want to buy stock in that company...
    Who would think you could cure alzheimer's, Parkinsons, autism, drug addiction, alcoholics, bi-polarism, and learning difficulties just by eating Wheeties, Breakfast of Champions.
    Or maybe, I will prefer the liquid form....called "Think Fast", with all 1461 proteins for a balanced mental health.....

    Does it come in "lite" formulations?

    I'll try it if it comes in chocolate with nut clusters.

    "...brings the total number of Alzheimer's-related interactions to 6000, and involves 1700 proteins, resulting in the largest network of interactions between proteins related to Alzheimer's disease."

    check out this drawing showing the interconnections between the proteins:

    Wow..that drawing looks like my dw's pet scan, except that all the numbers are missing in hers...I noticed that the biggest circle is a zero, and that there are smaller circles, big squares, and little squares.
    Hmm..guess there is truth to not putting a square peg in a round hole....
    Think fast is now available in the following flavors:
    Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry. coconut, cherry, lemon, orange, lime, bubblegum, cinnamon, coffee, and garlic.

    Alzheimer's disease is an age-related neurodegenerative disease It drives me crazy when I see statements like this. What about people in their 30s and 40s who develope dementia???

    For goodness sakes! Don't inject this stuff into your veins because your hair will pop out and go white like Albert Einstein and you'll be spouting unified field theories at completely dissinterested strangers.

    Consult your physician if you experience dizziness in your fingernails, ringing in your esophagus, gravitational shifting in the genitalia, travelling backwards through time, anthropods telemarketing skeletel insurance, Lawrence Welk in a yellow Kimono, a palamino in your living room, have a sudden understanding of boolean math, feel an affinity for quadrapeds, or break out in gregorian chants.

    Side effects may include growing strawberries in your armpits, bursting out singing, a compulsion to see fiords, designing paper undergarments, reading schematic diagrams, obsession with Mel Torme records, excessive waddling like a duck, growing mushrooms in the carpet, nipple travelling, abductions by armenians, a desire to stick teabags up your nose, multiple personality parties in the bathroom, a groucho marx walk, force feeding people fibre, and unusual attraction to walmart greeters.

    Discontinue use if symptoms of ellendegeneres disease appear but make sure to loosen the collar until their oprah is winfrey.

    (Ok that last one's a reach. It was for bluedaze. Boom boom. One in a row. Step right up. Every one's a maserati.)

    So...your comments finally made me go to the site and read the article. I must say you are all class A clowns and I love every one of you. You brighten my day and make me smile.

    Wolf K--now I understand why my DH is "having the multiple personality parties in the bathroom" every day! He looks in the mirror and talks sincerely or jokes with his reflection. Yesterday, I was in there taking a bath and playing an audiobook--the narrator was a man with an Irish accent, speaking like both men and women, using occasional curse words. DH had a laugh riot over the recording with the guy in the mirror. Your post put a good name on this behavior!

    MarilninMD, wait until he starts dabbing toothpaste on the mirror for the man to brush his teeth.

    He has already offered him his shaver several times, but the guy never takes him up on it! I am just glad that he's not angry or agitated about seeing this person (of course all mirrors are covered with fingerprints). We have mirrored closet doors, a wall of mirror in our dining room and the entire wall behind the sinks in the master bath--so there's no way to cover them. Guess I'll just leave the prints.

    Susan--I am trying to start a new decorating trend...fingerprints on all mirrors and windows...maybe I'll send a photo to Architectural Digest and it will catch on?
