...pitch was surprising and off-putting - but salesman or not, this guy was my patient and he was in a lot of pain. I knew about superslime; there are quite a few drugs like it - injectable hyaluronic acids, basically artificial mucus, that seem to lessen joint pain in some arthritis patients. Their effectiveness in advanced arthritis isn't great, but they have little in the way of downsides - and what better psychic enhancer could I ask for than having my patient sell me the product? (Surely, it would encourage recovery more than his star power and my doctor...

...happy to report that today Johnny walks, climbs stairs and cycles; he can even jog a little without knee pain. Was it the superslime? Probably not.

...Sorry for ever doubting you. It may be time for America to give the good Christian doctor’s parenting guide “Dare to Discipline” another chance. “It is not necessary to beat the child into submission; a little bit of pain goes a long way for a small child,” he tells us boldly. Lead...

...further investigation into Anthropology 1130, the front behind which this pain in the ass operates, revealed it to be nothing more than a study in inconsequentiality. The course description of Anthropology 1130, “Archaeology of Harvard Yard” portrays the class as a hands-on experience that provides “a richer and more nuanced view of the…lives of students and faculty in Harvard Yard.” The only nuances I saw on the digging site were the varying shades of dirt they had uncovered...
