Love the typing speed test, Will! I did it three times and my best score was:

"You reached 373 points, so you achieved position 1932 on the ranking list"

By the way, War Eagle!!

Scopolamine, "The most dangerous drug in the world"

Wow. Scop sure helps my sea sickness though. Guess I better not mix my bank account and scuba diving :)

Scopolamine was an ingredient used in some over-the-counter sleep aids prior to November 1990 in the United States, when the FDA forced several hundred ingredients allegedly not known to be effective off the market. Scopolamine shared a small segment of this market with diphenhydramine, phenyltoloxamine, pyrilamine, doxylamine and other first generation antihistamines, many of which are still used for this purpose in drugs like Sominex, Tylenol PM, NyQuil and so on.

As an RN I saw lots of folks show up at the ER after drinking a full bottle of Nyquil.

Apropos of nothing:
"A man accused of leaving an El Lago restaurant without paying his tab was arrested a short time later on a trespassing charge by the Lakeview Police Department.
According to a police report, an employee at Gabacho's Mexican Restaurant in the 4400 block of NASA Parkway called police to report the theft.
When officers responded, they learned that the man was seen walking toward a vacant building on the other side of the road after leaving the restaurant.
Police checked the area and found an open door in the back of the building. An officer went inside and called out, "Marco."
....
Police found the suspect after he responded, "Polo."
