See? All these people who say science is a bunch of hooey are crazy. Just wait until they want some Pappy Van Winkles. They'll probably end up with Jim Beam.

I think more research is warranted.
Can’t Pelosi give me a $ million or so to acquire samples to test?

I’m just here to complain about the words Bourbon and Shot being used together, as I drink some Four Roses Small Batch Select, the new 104 proof stuff. I’m guessing the headline writer is still in college...

The words have been used together often for over a century.
A little bourbon, someone else’s spouse, and somebody winds up getting shot.

But it would only work, it seems, in bourbon. In the ACS Nano paper, Carrithers and his team report that the same sort of distinct webbing does not develop in scotch, nor in Canadian whiskies. My first thought on this is that this distinction must be due to the fact that Bourbon must be aged in virgin American charred oak barrels.
This something unique to Bourbon. The oils in wood of the oak will be altered chemically by the charring.
If the Bourbon barrels are reused to make another whiskey those oils will be largely gone.

Well,
.Its at least a secondary concern.
You cant get drunk if you cant stand to swallow the stuff.

Well, look whos here. And youre a Bourbon fan as well. By the way, when you go to read Coopers Book, Involuntary Movement Disorders remember, he was a bit of a narcissist. His history of Thallamotomy is pretty egocentric. Its pretty much true but he makes himself the center of it and that wasnt quite true. If you are ever interested in the details I would be glad to help. Ask your Neurosurgeon friend, he has probably heard of Cooper. At least if he is a real intellectual and a Neurosurgeon he has.

In my day every Neurosurgeon knew who he was and more of than a few hated him quite a bit. They felt he had done something similar to that stupid email about Chloroquine that was being spammed everywhere here 2 days ago. That shit would have landed you in prison in our day.

Maybe you should have a drink and send me a link to one of your papers.
Michael J. Fox was a tragedy. Do you know why?

Its amazing to me to think that YOU would think I would make up knowledge of a controversy in Neurosurgery that is 50 years old so I could lie to you on FReeRepublic. It truly astonishes me.

If you do the math, Fox came after my time. I was in the Army and off to all new adventures.

Im not a molecular biologist. Have no idea what ORF is. My daughter, who got her PhD in Neuroscience at Tulane/post doc Emory probably does. We love each other and talk frequently but for some reason she refuses to talk about Neuroscience with me. She doesnt want to have to bring me up to speed, I think.
