From Predictably Irrational:
One seventeenth-century recipe for a "cure all" medication advised: "Take the fresh corpse of a red-haired, uninjured, unblemished man, 24 years old and killed no more than one day before, preferably by hanging, breaking on the wheel, or impaling... Leave it one day and one night in the light of the sun and the moon, then cut into shreds or rough strips. Sprinkle on a little powder of myrrh and aloes, to prevent it from being too bitter."
Guess I missed my chance to capitalize on this wonder drug when I left Eddie Bert. Could have made a killing (ba da che). Are you 24, Dave?
