and then he discovered the squirting lapel flower!

They laughed at the Wright brothers, and then they invented the Wankel rotary engine!

Black pepper ice cream is churning as we speak. Next stop: quinine.

I've eaten ice cream that had (IIRC) cayanne pepper and chocolate. It was tasty.

Also, my first reaction to this post was "Quinine ice cream?". I guess that's one way to go about curing malaria. (Or, for that matter, lupus, if it's the 19th century.)

Oh, god. I didn't suggest that one did I?

Black peper, now -- definitely. If it's not ideal, try it with blueberry or chocolate! I'll eat the failures.

No, wait. I won't.

Wait, they stopped laughing at Bozo after that discovery? How tragic!

didn't some dude named (Felix) Wankel invent the rotary engine?

I will eat your ice cream.

*chuckles* You do realize that your ice cream will treat the 'flu, right?

Quinine (which comes from cinchona bark) is useful for treating things like malaria and influenza. Freshly ground black peppercorn is my favorite treatment for a runny/stuffy nose. Add garlic and/or cayenne and you'd have a really useful all-around virus treatment!

For garlic ice cream, let me recommend the Gilroy Garlic Festival.

No, I'm not laughing at you.

Next stop: quinine.

Just very, very worried about your brain.

Quinine was used for lupus? Interesting.

Needs... more... pepper.

Yup. Today Plaquenil (another anti-malarial) is used, if you don't respond to other stuff.

Neat. I wonder what the connection is, that a couple of antimalarials both work for what IIRC is autoimmune...
