Curry drug may help rebuild brain cells

A DRUG derived from the popular curry spice turmeric could help aid the recovery of stroke patients, US researchers found.

Scientists from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center announced yesterday that they created a new molecule from curcumin - a chemical component of turmeric - and found in laboratory experiments that it affects mechanisms that protect and help regenerate brain cells after a stroke.

Perhaps it could be added to beer to negate the brain cell damage caused by getting drunk.

Wouldn't an increase in curry consumption affect global warming?

The scientists neglected to mention that taking too much of this drug leads to severe headaches, alleviated by wrapping cloth round the head in the form of a turban.

Secondary effects include sounding like Peter Sellers when speaking 'English'; thinking like Spike Milligan; being obsessed with cricket, rather than rugby; constantly scratching one's scrotum; shaking one's head from side to side when agreeing with anyone and collecting certificates saying 'University of Upper Bangalore - Bachelor of Science (Failed)' for use in job applications.

Humph, you speaking from personal experience?

Hasn't done much for 170 million Pakistanis.

Oh, deary me, sir. Not my experience at all.

Never touch that Madras with the bright red meat, sir.

Green curry with the coconut milk is my limit.

(As a side point: When living in England in the early seventies, my then brother-in-law liked his Vindaloos, but he also liked his alcohol. So we would pop out in the evenings to get a take-away from the local Paki-palace, sup a few glasses on the way - there and back - and bring the results of our expedition home to the two wives and brood of kids. But lots of times they were already fed and watered, kids in bed, by the time we returned. This left an awful lot of curry to be consumed by two somewhat inebriated fellers. So we did our best, but it was seldom a clean-plate job. So George's boxer dog got the left-overs.

Have you ever woken up in the morning to a large boxer farting after a night on the curry?)

OOOOps, at first glance I read it as curry dog.

Good hot spicy curry fixes lotsa things.
