I, myself, would instead go to a junk yard to see how my car was different from the others already there. The good news that Murray looks for each morning with his "Parkinson +cure" google search will come, sooner than most people think. It will be as a result of knowledge gained from autopsies done on people with PD who still have some air left in that tire and have died of something else. And speaking of nails, we already know that PD people are often found to have more iron in the damaged brain area than seems right. Of course, there usually are a lot of firemen around a fire. It doesn't prove that they started it. No, I don't hear any hiss coming from you, but my hearing is bad enough that I prefer subtitles.
