Real-World Synthehol In Development
Ada_Rules writes "Researchers at the Imperial College London have announced development of an alcohol substitute that has many of the same properties as the Synthehol from the series Star Trek, in that one will get a buzz from it but will not end up with a hangover. In addition you will have the option of getting immediately sober if you so desire it. Let's hope this is not the typical vaporware. It is not that I really want a drink of Synthehol, but with its release I assume Romulan Ale won't be far behind."
I'm curious where you got the 52% figure from; or was that something you've pulled out of thin air? Perhaps we should have a poll.
Sigs are too short to say anything truly profound so read the above post instead.
What I would find really interesting is a poll that showed how many people that visited slashdot actually participated in the polls.
Oh wait...

Actually, Acetaminophen is what I normally call it (and would perhaps be a more neutral word than either Paracetamol or Tylenol).
Well, that depends on how strictly you're defining 'tea'. Other beverages made by steeping plant matter are called 'teas' even though they are not made using leaves from the tea plant. Chamomile is a good example.
This is my sig. There are many like it but this one is mine.
Yeah, herbal infusions are frequently called teas, but it's an annoying misnomer along the lines of calling all types of soda "coke" as is inexplicably done in some parts of the country. The correct terms for herbal tea would be tisane, or infusion.

And, the AC is still wrong even allowing for a loose definition of "tea" since practically all "teas" aren't caffeinated.
