See but the funny part is that philidomide is (according to my uncle the bioresearcher) a cancer treatment drug. So evidently he firmly believes one can use a cancer treatment drug to exterminate a whole generation. Thalidomide is possible I guess - but it didnā€™t so much wipe out a whole generation as it caused gross somatic birth defects in about 15,000 people. Not a _good_ thing of course, but erm not generational extermination. Oh wait! My bad! He must be using the gay science along with the mildly-fruity _mathematics_! ---

> [@koeeoaddi](#): > > I think he means [thalidomide](http://cerhr.niehs.nih.gov/genpub/topics/thalidomide2-ccae.html). How it relates to feminists and murder is mysterious, though. IIRC, it was used to treat morning sickness until it was found to cause birth defects. Simple. Morning sickness is part of Godā€™s plan, dammit! Feminists tried to stop morning sickness, and, voila! Babies with flippers. (FWIW, I know a lovely man at work who was a thalidomide baby. Finally happily married and trying for a family, god bless him.) ---

I hate to tell you all, but our dearly departed scholar was right. When I was pre-med and getting my degree in Bi-Curious Biology, I wondered about the global domination of the feminist hellfire illuminoids, but thought nothing of it. Later, when I switched from pre-med to an English major I continued my studies in Wait-Is-He-Just-A-Little-Bit-ā€¦-Ya-Know-ā€¦ Science on the side. It was then that I was approached by emisiaries of the Bavarian Illuminati who wanted me to put flouride in the water in order to corrupt the purity of essence of the precious bodily fluids of straight folks. Oh, and kill a lot of babies. So, I sold my soul for a BMW and crossed over to the darkside; Liking-It-Up-The-Ass Science. However, they discovered that I wasnā€™t gay, and then some feminist nazi hell creatures from the hollow earth discovered that I was a secular humanist, _then_ the shit really hit the fan. So we should all be thankful that we were enlightened about the Gay Feminist Science Shelly Hoax [sup]tm[/sup]. Oh, and electricity is magic.
