So sayeth one of the latest spams in my inbox. I never knew there was a holy war. I thought it was just a regular battle of the nerds. You know, the fight to find new medications, the victor getting the kudos if not the spoils. Where do I sign up for this holy battle? And how exactly does one fight the holy war vs epilepsy? Do participants sit in front of a strobe light? What happens to them if they succumb? What if they don't? Is it like those witch tests? Burn 'em at the stake/strobe? If she survives, she's a witch, if she doesn't... well, she's not. Should they don armour? Pistols? Duels at dawn? Do half the participants get anti-convulsants and the other half a placebo? In which army should I put my faith? Who's fighting the good fight, anyway?

There's a link, of course. I'm taking bets now: Viagra/Cialis/"performance" enhancing drug; keylogger/social engineering; virus infecter; cross-site scripter. I'm personally tossing up between viagra and keylogger.
