  1. This was discovered in the US? by Score+Whore · · Score: -1, Troll

    Amazing. Given how many studies have shown that the US is backward technologically. How our medicine is falling further and further behind the socialized countries of Europe. How our school's aren't producing scientifically oriented graduates. It's unfathomable how this kind of thing could come from the shores of North America. Or possibly everyone with their reports of fucked US tech, meds, and science is just pushing an agenda.

      Ever heard the phrase "even a blind squirrel can find a nut"? How about "a stopped clock is right twice a day"? One data point doesn't prove anything. Hell, the USSR and the Nazis made a few clever discoveries of their own, but I don't see you championing them.

    TCM is bunk. Tiger penis makes your cock bigger, tiger bone makes you a strong man, bah, utter bunk.
