    It might be all the pills I got, but this kind of made me smile despite the flu... :)

    Heres the history of our medicine.
    Problem: "I have a sore throat."
    2000 BC : "Eat this root."
    1200 AD : "That root is heathen, say this prayer."
    1500 AD : "That prayer is superstition, drink this elixir."
    1800 AD : "That elixir is snake oil, Take this pill."
    1900 AD : "That pill is ineffective, Take this antibiotic."
    2000 AD : "That antibiotic is artificial, Here why dont you eat this root."
