John C... SMACK!!! <----- Barb smacks the hapless Mr. Cottingham upside his head to catch his wandering attention) <I know it's wandering 'cause he didn't seem to get much sleep last nite, per the message below> (grinning) WAKE UP, JOHN! You're rambing... (and I love it!) <smile> Thanks for being YOU, John... Barb Mallut, [log in to unmask] ---------- From: PARKINSN: Parkinson's Disease - Information Exchange Network on behalf of John Cottingham Sent: Saturday, August 10, 1996 4:45 AM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Late Night Musings I am in the process of withdrawing from smoking....a precursor to PD? If there are signs of other life in our solar system, should we encourage the study of science and mathematics? There seems to have been a population of PDers who are also physicists. Could we be encouraging an epidemic? If one believes in predetermination, how would one know that he has arrived if one's path to it was calculated by Intel and Microsoft? Since life as we know it lives on shower floors.....would we be a hazard to the rest of the universe? Should workplace compensation be based on something? I wonder what Captain Kathrynn Janeway does with all of her money? Can she buy more virtual food, drink, toys or health insurance? Have the makers of Eldepryl (TM) determined something...had a change of thinking when they now describe Eldepryl as a "capsule form for the treatment of patients with late-stage Parkinson's Disease." Have they given up on the "neuroprotection theory"? I wonder if neurological disorders of the basal ganglia are 'left handed' or 'right handed' predominate? I never had these thoughts when I smoked......do you think it was the nicotine or the carbon monoxide that surpressed them? Oh..Well!..The Parkinson's Information Channel on the Undernet can sure be thought provoking. Virtual food...virtual thoughts...virtual fun....August 20th.
