Alan,

I was going to take the test but I just could not seem to get interested enough to click the link to it - maybe later.

WAIT A SECOND - WAS THAT THE TEST - DID I FAIL - AAARGH...

That Ausie vĂ­deo is scary, I was sure it was going to turn into a spoof but it didnt.

I can assure you it was a spoof, the original idea came from a Canadian source. (i.e.: moi) It was a researcher who created a new drug for AMDD (which stands for Adolescent Motivational Deficiency Disorder) which we used to call "Lazy Teenager Syndrome" and popularized on a CBC IDEAS program a few years ago. Ask me about it on a ride sometime, and I'll give you the entire low-down on how I came about inventing my own disease which went viral, copied and satirized by the Australians...
