"A US study may have identified a cheap, safe drug that kills most cancers. And it's not under patent."
Er, This comes from the University of Alberta Russell - you mean a Canadian study.

I have a lot of Flying Nun stories, and most of them involve some Nun or other trying to make me laugh out loud.
This recollection involves Russell Brown and Grant Fell of the Headless Chickens.
Back in '91 when Planet Magazine - Russell and Grant were both driving forces of that magazine. Russell was reading a typed transcript of a lengthy interview I had done with David Kilgour.
During my interview with David our conversation had turned to Russell.
"Where's Russell from?" I had asked.
"I think he's from Timaru" David has replied.
Reading this Russell erupted into anguished bellows -
"I AM NOT FROM BLOODY TIMARU! I WORKED IN TIMARU FOR A FEW MONTHS! I'M FROM CHRISTCHURCH! WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK I'M FROM BLOODY TIMARU!!?!!"
Over Russell's shoulder I see Grant Fell waving his arms mouthing this to me, explaining:
"RUSSELL IS FROM TIMARU, HE'S STILL SENSITIVE ABOUT IT".
