A couple of street signs in my neighbourhood. Obviously, made for each other, but sadly, will never meet.

Is marijuana a potential cure for cancer?
An extraordinary discovery may someday give the controversial notion of “medical marijuana” a potent new meaning. Turns out that the recreationally popular cannabis plant contains compounds that could stop and even reverse the growth of various aggressive forms of cancer.
After a series of lab tests using a non-psychoactive chemical extract called Cannabidiol to treat malignant human breast cells in mice, the researchers hope to develop a pill that can demonstrate efficacy in human clinical trials. "It took us about 20 years of research to figure this out, but we are very excited,” Desprez, told the Huffington Post.
20 years!? What the heck!? I can see them now, "hard at work"...
In case you’re wondering, it won’t leave the door open for those who want to inhale it.
“We used injections in the animal testing and are also testing pills,” Desprez said. “But you could never get enough Cannabidiol for it to be effective just from smoking.”
That's what you think...

Doggie bag
This brings new meaning to the term "doggie bag"...
Wait! Is that a dog or a pig? Actually, it's neither. It appears to be a pig-dog alien hybrid.
It was designed by Meryl Smith as carry-on luggage. Who would buy such a piece?

Yacht cruise or island adventure?
Why not have both? If you've been socking away a little cash for a future indulgence, maybe this is just the thing you've been waiting for:
The 295-foot Tropical Island Paradise yacht has a top speed of 10 knots, and although it can only accomodate ten people, comes with a waterfall, volcano, swimming pool and beach 'cove'. In addition, the yacht has a bar area, VIP rooms with balconies, a private spa and a helicopter landing pad.
Price tag? If you have to ask, you probably can't afford the $4.8 billion sticker price. Yes, with a "b". I don't know why. I just report these things.
Note: That lovely song in the backgroud can be heard (and viewed) in its entirety here: Three Little Birds Watching it is good for your soul. Enjoy.
