Viagra
A whole lotta Scoville
The hottest chilli sauce in the world has been created, distilled from several tons of peppers and 8,000 times hotter than Tabasco.
People aged 50 to 64 have the largest carbon footprints, due to their prosperity. They’re also the most vocal about the need to do something about climate change.
The Money Programme discovers DIY TV. To be broadcast tonight (and then, hopefully, available for streaming afterwards).
The Viagra baby. The drug was used to open arteries in the premature baby’s lungs so he could breathe more easily.

90% of Americans tell their government to get stuffed and let them get on with it.
In other sex news- Wild Pink Yam. Doctor Gillian McKeith, otherwise known as “the scary poo lady” has formulated Wild Pink Yam, for the ladies, and Horny Goat Weed, for the gentlemen, as Fast Formulas to help with sexual and general well being. I found out about Wild Pink Yam through listening to a conversation at work. Allegedly the in depth review of its effects, second hand from the one person in the building who admitted to using it, was “Oh my God!”
I receive a few dozen emails a day telling me about natural alternatives to Viagra, and I ignore them all, so I’m naturally sceptical about such claims. On the other hand, I’m nowhere near as snotty since I started taking Echinacea every day, so I can accept that some herbal cures really do do what they promise. I’ll believe in Wild Pink Yam if I can find a young lady to test it on and observe the results.

Hoodia
I’ve been getting a lot of spam about Hoodia recently. It seems to be displacing some of the other wonder drugs, though I still get lots of Viagra spam (or ./iagra or other variations to get past filters). So what is Hoodia?
Wikipedia’s entry on the plant. It seems it can be used as an appetite suppressant.
I think there are two trends in spam- fear and greed. Greed is obvious, we all want money for nothing. Fear is mainly about our insecurities about being fat, floppy or bald. The Hoodia pitchers are trading on the fear of fat.
Pennies from Hell
IncompetenceWatch will arrive soon, Damian promises, but the first post on it may be about the hosting company he chose. Meanwhile, a Canadian man is paying back his credit card debt a penny at a time as a protest about outsourcing of his information to the US.
“I don’t want the CIA or George Bush to know how many cases of Viagra I bought last week, or what church or charities I donate to,” he told Reuters.
Rogers said his card has since been cancelled by Vancouver-based Citizens Bank, but he will continue paying his remaining balance of C$1,000 (490 pounds) one little bit at a time.

Dapoxetine- get ready for all the spam
Originally developed as an anti-depressant, Dapoxetine succeeds in a slightly different way to the one planned- it can be used as a treatment for premature ejaculation, making a man last up to three times longer than usual.
The men in the trial were all in monogamous sexual relationships. Before taking the drug, they typically lasted less than a minute in the sexual act. On the highest dose of the drug, patients lasted around 3 minutes 20 seconds, the company reported.
Just over half of the men who took the drug described the control they had over their ejaculation as “fair” to “very good”, compared to about 3% of those who did not take the treatment. The number of men describing the sexual satisfaction as “good” to “very good” almost doubled to 46.5%. Their sexual partners reported a similar experience.
You'll go blind
No, not from doing that, from taking Viagra.
The seven men, aged between 50 and 69 years old, had all suffered from a swelling of the optic nerve within 36 hours of taking Viagra for erectile dysfunction.
Six experienced vision loss within 24 hours, although only one had problems with both eyes.

Doctor Luuuuurve
Daz has been looking into a product called Love Jet (no, I didn’t ask why). Better than Viagra, and invented by the creator of the floppy disk.
Take the red pill
Everyone’s getting spam for generic Viagra these days. Which is nice. But they should bear in mind that maybe the little blue pill won’t solve their problems, indeed, many men are discovering that their problem wasn’t with their feller, but with the fact they didn’t fancy the missus any more.
