You Don't Need Propaganda to Convince Me!

I don't need any convincing to realize Mario is a bad bad man. 
-He is a drugged out person who crushes innocent turtles to death by jumping on them. 
-His princess was in a different castle, because she was running away from him.
-He kills his friends in order to save himself. 
-Pauline (the ginger albino) wasn't kidnapped by Donkey Kong, she was his lover and Kong was just protecting her. 
More propaganda pictures after the jump my ninja's!

Ecstasy May One Day Lead to New Treatment for Blood Cancers



According to BBC News, a modified form of the drug ecstasy (or MDMA) may be able to stop blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma from spreading. Studies have shown that ecstasy kills off cancer cells inside test tubes, however, the doses needed to do so would be fatal. After chemically re-engineering the drug, scientists were able to create the same cancer-killing results with 1g of modified ecstasy vs. the 100g dose of unmodified ecstasy needed in earlier tests-- an amount that which would be much less toxic to the brain.
While these tests are encouraging, they may not have the same effect when taken out of the test tubes. Still, if there's a treatment that results from these experiments somewhere in the future, it's definitely something to get excited about.
