Oh no! Guest thinks I'm clueless! If only I cared...
Anyway, we're over this now, right? Everyone's had their good, hard cry, Dogen is a big mean man, pouty face, and we move on? Good. |

It was here we were talking about the placebo effect wasn't it?
Really fascinating article:
http://www.wired.com/medtech/drugs/magazine/17-09/ff_placebo_effect?currentPage=1
The placebo effect is now as powerful, and in some cases, more powerful than commonly used painkilling and psychiatric drugs. Largely due to the uniquitous marketing of over-the-counter and prescription medication. The main pharmaceuticals are now funding massive trials of the placebo effect to find out how it is stimulated.
Alternative medicine that is becoming medicine.

What?
Stuff like this is why I stopped reading Wired. |

If that is a mash-up of ubiquitous with iniquitous then that is an excellent and highly appropriate word.
