Of hamsters, jet-lag and Viagra . . .


OK. I have to admit it. This leaves me totally mind-boggled . . . as it does the Bloggess, whom we've met before in these pages. I'll let her describe the situation.

I am severely jet-lagged so I have nothing funny to say. Except that I just looked up “jet lag” on Wikipedia and it said that scientists have helped hamsters recover from jet-lag by giving them Viagra. Which means that at one point there were a bunch of people flying hamsters with tiny erections to exotic locations in the name of science. Which I think is just proof that scientists are high all the time.

... people are bringing drugged, involuntarily-aroused hamsters on planes, and I’m not even allowed to bring my diet coke through security. This is exactly the kind of thing I’d take a stand against if it wasn’t for the fact that I don’t even know what the hell I’d write on that picket sign.


There's more at the link.

Er . . . how . . . what . . . ??? I mean . . . come again??? Hamsters on Viagra to treat jet lag??? How did someone even manage to think of that in the first place?

(On second thoughts, don't answer that last question. I suspect we're better off not knowing some things!)

My son says:

"They may laugh but it worked for me. Last time I flew I gave my hamster viagra - hey presto, no symptoms!"

Oh good... I can see it now, multiple men taking viagra just prior to takeoff with NO relief in sight... Flying is just NOT fun anymore :-(
