Quickies: Anglo-Saxon medicine, Trevor Noah, and space burial
- Anglo-Saxon remedy of cow bile, garlic, and onion kills MRSA – “Microbiologists were astonished to find that not only did the salve clear up styes, but it also tackled the deadly superbug MRSA, which is resistant to many antibiotics.”
- Trevor Noah picked to be new Daily Show host – Much as I enjoy Jon Stewart, I can’t wait to see Noah as the new host. From Mrmisconception.
- When creationism and anti-vaccine activism mesh – From Criticaldragon1177.
- Space burial – Relevant to my interests as this is a question I’ve been asked before.
I read the first item as “kills MRAs”. Misandry! ;)
Now all I can think of is the old commercials, a group of dyspeptic white dudes crying “RAID!!?” before the explosion.
From 1987
This reminded me of an MRA telling me “Maybe when you’re talking about [issues affecting] black men or native men, maybe you’re just talking about…men?” And I’m thinking Wonderful, men’s rights has entered its second wave.
Amanda,
I’ll miss Jon Stewart as well.
A Comedy Central fake-news host offended people on Twitter?
Okay, social justice blogosphere, get it out of your system within the next 24 hours. Call me a drunk, threaten death and dismemberment. Just hurry up about it. #Kidding #Maybe
Jon Brewer,
It sounds like Tevor Noah was idiot. I’ve said a lot of stupid things in the past as well, that I wish I could undo.
By the way, wingnuts don’t seem to like him either, and that’s definitely a good thing.

Bleach, phenol or chlorhexidine will also knock off MRSA, but you can’t use any of them internally. Neither can you inject this Saxon concoction.
More work needed. Time to break out the LC/MS!
