I probably should have seen this coming also.
The menstrual pain drug mefenamic acid, may reverse the neurological changes which produce Alzheimer's symptioms.
We're talking the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, here.
Dr. Doug Brown, Director of Research and Development at Alzheimer's Society, backs this by saying, “Testing drugs already in use for other conditions is a priority for Alzheimer’s Society — it could allow us to shortcut the fifteen years or so needed to develop a new dementia drug from scratch.”

Eye, Lads
If you gave a Moose a moose-turd pie
If you gave a Mouse a mouse-turd pie
If you gave a Louse a lousy pie
How could you ever look him in the eye?
If you gave a Robot a loose-screw pie
If you gave a Gnome a loose-goose pie
If you gave old Marlow a big wide tie
Then why not give Ay-aye a big black eye?
If you gave a CosmicCragsman an MRI
If you wore a shirt like his, an old tie-dye
If you canna see me a-comin', a-comin' through the rye
You'd better scoot yer butt on back to your little Isle of Skye.

Well, I recall when the Rev ran parts for his pop's auto body shop, he developed his vocabulary accordingly.
His older friend, a biker and ace body guy, helped him out.
To say that something was "chassis" was a put-down.
Working on cleaning a pin, I would often hear in a LOUD TONE OF SINCERE HATE,
"You chassis MF! *unprintable language that would make Nixon cringe* F*#k you, Mouse!"
And a chassis in the garage is worth two chassis in the junkyard.
Deer, moose, chassis. All singular/plural forms.

Now we need us a lichen-covered climber.

Meanwhile, in Vaux, province of Picardy, France, there are no Chapman swifts, for they live in North America when not in South America.
"It was a slow night in Portland, and only 1,500 came out to watch the Chapman swifts perform. There was a brief moment of excitement, however, as one old rock climber, Jim Donini, kept insisting they were out to get him. He was sedated and sent home to Chile in a police squad car. He will not be charged with anything except a rescue fee to cover the gas and the driver's time.

Salathe Speed Record Tue Sep 24 09:18:07 2002

Subject: Yuji - Salathe 2002!
September 19th- Yuji FREE CLIMBED the whole Salathe route* in 13 hours!
he took the offwidth variation below the spire, and the Huber variation instead of the Teflon corner. BIG LINK UP! - Yuji climbed from Sois le tois ledge to Long Ledge in TWO PITCHES! He belayed at the lip of the roof/beginning-of-the-headwall!
-----------
No falls in this 13 hours! Amazing. Tommy did this with no falls in 19 hours.
The link-up Yuji did is normally done as FIVE pitches. Even by Jim Herson, though Jim has linked from Sous Le Toit to the roof (just two pitches). The first pitch of Sous Le Toit has been rated from 11b to 11d. I've free climbed on TR (with lots of hanging and power belaying) and it seems to be at least 11c to lead. The next pitch is rated 12b. When Jim linked these pitches, he called it 12d. Yuji put those two together with the Salathe Roof pitch (12a). This combo has got to be 13a.
Then Yuji climbed the entire headwall in one pitch. This is normally done as two these days, but Skinner/Piana did it as three pitches, I think. They are both 13b, I think. I think Jim Herson has nearly linked these pitches before. Yuji is likely the first to do it and after all the other climbing, this is truly amazing. The link-up has to be 13c/d for these pitches as there isn't really any rest. Heck, both Herson and Caldwall have fall right at the anchors at the top of the first headwall pitch before, yet Yuji had to launch straight into the 13b Boulder Problem pitch. The dude is STRONG!!
It must be noted that Yuji avoided two of the hardest pitches on the route: the 13c 19th pitch (only Herson had redpointed this pitch) and the Teflon Corner (12d and a short crux, but an EXTREMELY technique stemming crux).
Exciting news from the Valley, indeed!
Argh had a 'chore'

One of a kind from the diabase
His ramblings are sometimes an effin' disgrace
He'll talk until he's blue in the face
He's a tight-fitting shoe with a broken lace
But he's my friend and I think he's an ace.
