Well Terry,

Using a person suffering from Stupidity Syndrome (plenty of test subjects, 
everywhere you look) as a midpoint in a power arc can cure the disease, can 
we patent a TC now?  We could say that a side effect experienced by some 
users as pale skin, stiffening of all joints (after a few hours), stopped 
heart, etc...  Then they can't sue, right?
