Researcher*s*? Robin Warren and Barry Marshall?
I'd love to be able to say that I'm an Aussie that's proud of and
remembers all of the unsung (could theirs be 'Wild Colonial Boy'?)
heroes of Australian medicine, but I really just did a google
http://www.vianet.net.au/~bjmrshll/features2.html
before bedtime (the cupboards are empty of any Rutherglen-born
sedative, and there's not even a drop that creamy, Irish leg-opener
- doesn't work that way on me, but it *does* make the eyelids, at
least, droop - to wash me off to sleep. I'll try the next chapter
of Mister Melville's book about the big, white sushi banquet. You
know, I think somewhere in there he said something about Australia
being a smaller, but similarly (admirable?) nation to the US, but
that might be because he heard of an aptitude for Nantucket-ish
poesy)
OM content: Captain Ahab was once played by Patrick Stewart,
who played Captain Jean Luc Picard, who was born 335 years to
the day after I was born, and I own an OM1 (and OM40, and 35RC,
and MjuII...)
