    18 researchers spend 10 months getting 789 grams to the lab...and 11 grams are all that was tested. Where's the rest of it, hmmm?

    My ancient relative! Praise be, he's been found. (They say we have the same eyes), & that's MY inheritance!

      Good thing it wasn't found in the United States. The DEA would have scored another victory in the war on drugs.
