NEWSFLASH!!!! There's a new scientific breakthrough, developed by the Scandinavians, helipng to cure congenital blindness. Apparently there is, on one of the Maltese peaks, a plateau facing directly east. By blindfolding the patient, leading him up there, and whipping off the blindfold at precisely the right moment, just as the sun rises off the horizon, the irises are stimulated into contracting, the eyelids wince, and vision is restored. The scientists who have developed this method have shown astonishing results with patients across Europe and the former Eastern Bloc countries. There is one curious anomaly, however: for some reason, the natives or Norway seem to be immune to this treatment. For several months, they pondered what this anomaly could mean. They tested different angles, altered the moment when the blindfold would be removed, adjusted every possible variable that could possibly have a bearing on the experiments. Eventually, one of the assistants uncovered the mystery. It turned out there was an ancient piece of wisdom which, in all their new-found technology and science, the good doctors had forgotten: YOU CAN TAKE A NORSE TO MALTA, BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE HIM BLINK. jonthecelt (see, I warned you I'd be back!)
