We all got hooked on the widespread potential (like bunnies in the carrot patch). Unfortunately, when it comes to underachievers or the misguided, what is verbalized by them amounts to little more than rhetoric.

Really, freely? You are going to bottom feed a stock that is about 98% off its high? Surely you can find another penny with a more reliable track record. I think there are only two reasonable options here: Get out and stay out; or, get back in and wait for some type of lucky pop. The last financing down here (with Samyang) actually elevated the stock. It was the slow bleed, following the "hugely positive development for Cortex" (Neuro's take on the Biovail deal), which brought
Corx back down to its proverbial (weak) knees.

Are you suggesting the PR is nothing "worthwhile?" I agree. So what is the point.

I'm through bashing this bastard*. (Hell, I feel better already :) )

I don't think they can mismanage any more then they already have, without being downright deviant. It's either up from here, or out from here. Stoll/Varney should resign or appeal to the BOD to sell the company (actually, this process should have happened years ago). If they had any interest in preserving a future value for Corx shareholders, they would choose to step down, and allow the search for qualified candidates to commence. If they are interested in unlocking some IP value and orchestrating a quick wind-down process (relative to the first point), they will recommend a sale of the company.

Like Richard Gere in An Officer and a Gentleman, they (mgmt) have "no where else to go!." That's for you Laker, Davidal :) They are spoiled, expendable, dead weight, unimpressive, baggage...to any peers in the industry. However, I'm sure they are nice people in person...just like me :)

Ps. Do you get the idea that this PR was more about lifting the spirit of the scientists (God forbid they test the employment waters. Note: Just because not many key employees have left, Laker, doesn't mean it won't happen in the near future. Not that your point has any relevance now anyway, as it once did). Otherwise, the news didn't seem 'material' to me. How about you, Dr. Spin? What is your impression of the PR? Or would that compromise your laissez-faire attitude toward the most obvious and constant variable throughout this failure, that being management?

The ball is in management's court, as it always has been. Going forward, my only criticisms of mgmt will be either as a direct result of their actions (like the most recent silly and pointless PR), or as a result of some enabler/apologist who refuses to be objective.

Peace.

Photographers recall Chernobyl's first days

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110424/ap_on_re_eu/eu_ukraine_chernobyl_photographers

AP – This 1986 photo shows photographer Igor Kostin taking photographs after the explosion in the 4th reactor …

By ANNA MELNICHUK, Associated Press – 2 hrs 21 mins ago

KIEV, Ukraine – Wearing a lead protective suit and placing his cameras in lead boxes, photographer Igor Kostin made a terrifying and unauthorized trip to the Chernobyl danger zone just a few days after a nuclear power plant reactor exploded in the world's worst atomic accident.

He came back home with nothing to show for his determination to document the crisis — the radiation was so high that all his shots turned out black.

But Kostin returned, and his work along with that of a handful of other daring photographers was critical to the world's understanding of a catastrophe that Soviet authorities were reluctant to admit.
A quarter-century after the April 26, 1986, blast that spewed radioactive fallout over much of Europe, Kostin's memories are as vivid and terrifying as any photo. They carry an added chill as Japan struggles to bring its radiation-spewing Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant under control after last month's earthquake and tsunami triggered the world's worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.

On his first trip into the Ukrainian danger zone, the photographer for the Novosti Press Agency wangled his way aboard military conveyances. He recalls hearing alarmingly high radiation readings from the pilot:
"A tightly closed armored troop carrier, a helicopter floor covered with lead, windows closed tightly. Ruins of the reactor on the right. A pilot's voice — '50 meters to the reactor, 250 Roentgen'. I opened the window and was shooting. It was a stupid thing."

Those were the shots that showed nothing.

But nine days after the blast, authorities allowed Kostin and two other shooters — Valery Zufarov of TASS and Volodymyr Repik — to get terrifyingly close.

Kostin, now 74, was with a group of "liquidators," soldiers who had been pressed into service to battle the disaster.

He climbed to the roof of the building next to the exploded reactor, firing off frames to record the soldiers who were frantically shoveling debris off the ruined structure's roof.

He had to shoot fast.

"They counted the seconds for me: one, two, three ... As they said '20' I had to run down from the roof. It was the most contaminated place, with 1,500 Roentgen per hour. The deadly dose is 500 Roentgen," Kostin told The Associated Press. "Fear came later."

"It was like another dimension: ruins of the reactor, people in face masks, refugees. It all resembled war," Kostin said.

Kostin said that being a photographer was like being a hunter. But after his Chernobyl ordeal, "now I know what a victim feels while being followed by an invisible, inaudible and thus even more dangerous enemy."

Because of extreme radiation levels, the soldiers, in eight-man teams, worked for no more than 40 seconds on the roof of the destroyed reactor's building. That means they had to run upstairs onto the roof wearing lead suits, pick up a shovelful of debris and throw it into the huge hole in the roof. Most of them took no more than one to three shovelfuls.

Kostin is the best-known of the Chernobyl disaster photographers, but Anatoly Rasskazov was the first. As a staff photographer for the plant, he was allowed in on the day of the explosion. On April 26, at noon — hours after the blast — he made a video of the destroyed reactor and submitted it to a special commission working in a bunker close to the plant, said Anna Korolevska, deputy director of Chernobyl museum in Kiev.

Rasskazov's photos were submitted to the commission by 11 p.m. on the same day — and were immediately seized by the Soviet secret police.
Only two of Rasskazov's photos were published in 1987, without mentioning the author's name.

Rasskazov died last year, aged 66, after suffering for years from cancer and blood diseases that he blamed on the radiation.

On May 12, 1986, more than two weeks after the explosion, the leading Soviet daily newspaper Pravda published its first photograph from the site for the first time, shot three days earlier from a helicopter by Repik.

"If I had been ordered now to get aboard and go, I would not have gone — you might have easily died there for nothing," said the 65-year-old Repik.

Zufarov died in 1993, aged 52, of Chernobyl-related disease. His first pictures were made from a helicopter 25 meters above the plant.
Kostin's work in the days after the blast and in subsequent years on Chernobyl won him a World Press Photo Prize. It also exposed him to heavy levels of radiation and he has undergone several thyroid operations over the years. Thyroid cancer is one of the most widespread consequences of the blast.

His photos provide a permanent record of calamity: of the hasty construction of a "sarcophagus" over the destroyed reactor area, of deformed children born dead after the blast, of living children suffering thyroid cancer, of liquidators suffering leukemia.

The images still haunt him.

"Where did I see that? In a movie? Or when the war (World War II) started when I was five?" he said.

Davidal-To the best of your recollection, do you know how many subjects Corx was trying to enroll with their AD PETscan trial? Also, how many Petscans were they requesting, and at what interval from baseline (ie., 1,3,6,12 mos.)?

3 online poker houses face fraud charges in NYC

By LARRY NEUMEISTER and OSKAR GARCIA, Associated Press – Fri Apr 15, 6:21 pm ET

NEW YORK – The multi-billion-dollar business of the three biggest Internet poker companies became a target of federal authorities before an indictment was unsealed Friday, charging 11 people with bank fraud and illegal gambling.
Prosecutors in Manhattan said they've issued restraining orders against more than 75 bank accounts used by the poker companies, interrupting the illegal flow of billions of dollars.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said the defendants "concocted an elaborate criminal fraud scheme, alternately tricking some U.S. banks and effectively bribing others to assure the continued flow of billions in illegal gambling profits."
The companies, all based overseas, were identified as PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker. The indictment sought $3 billion in money laundering penalties and forfeiture from the defendants.
The indictment said the companies ran afoul of the law after the U.S. in October 2006 enacted the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which makes it a crime for gambling businesses to knowingly accept most forms of payment in connection with the participation of another person in unlawful Internet gambling.
Authorities said Absolute Poker responded by saying in a release after the new law was enacted that it would continue its U.S. operations because "the U.S. Congress has no control over" the company's payment transactions.
Efforts to reach the companies for reaction were not immediately successful. Phone calls either went unanswered or messages were not immediately returned. An attempt to look at the website for PokerStars.com was met with a message from the FBI saying the domain name had been seized as part of a criminal probe.
The indictment said the defendants turned to fraudulent methods to trick financial institutions into processing payments on their behalf after the law was passed.
It said they sometimes arranged for money from U.S. gamblers to be disguised as payments to hundreds of non-existent online merchants purporting to sell merchandise such as jewelry and golf balls.
Prosecutors said about a third or more of the billions of dollars in payment transactions that the poker companies tricked U.S. banks into processing went directly to the poker companies as revenue. They said the money represented the "rake" charged to players on almost every poker hand played online.
Arrests occurred in Las Vegas and Utah.
Frank Fahrenkopf, chief executive of the American Gaming Association, the commercial casino industry's main trade group, said the prosecution shows a "clear need to strengthen laws to address illegal online gambling in the U.S."
He added: "Tough law enforcement is the key to making such a system work, and the AGA supports strong enforcement against illegal online gambling activity in this country. But illegal activity — and the risk of consumer fraud, money laundering and underage gambling — will continue until the U.S. passes laws ensuring that only licensed, taxed and highly regulated companies can operate in the U.S. market."
Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval said the allegations made by federal prosecutors against the three companies were of "grave concern." But he added that he remained committed to the possibility that federal legislation will eventually permit Internet gambling in a way that matches the same rigorous standards that apply to traditional gaming institutions.

The evolution and conundrum of the education paradigm. Very, very interesting perspective, and an engaging method of presenting it:

Education, conventional and divergent thought, and even ADHD. I think anyone watching this will get something out of it:

Examples? No, of course not, that would require effort. You are the expert, you don't need to try too hard. lol.

Athero,

Neuro could choose to engage with enlightened, objective conversation, but he chooses not to. He shies away from the real challenging questions, and instead, asserts his dominance through childish put-downs. I've called his bluff on multiple occasions.

They did start an AD study--weren't we told the PI died? There must have been an 'if I go, so does the trial' clause, lol.

Ps. What projections and answers/certainties are you accusing me of flailing around? Seems to me I'm just trying to be a good sleuth--searching for the truth. There are many unanswered questions in this saga, I'm just keeping them alive, and will continue to do so, despite the intimidation tactics of yourself and others. Give me an objective expert opinion, sans childish put-downs, and I will pleasantly engage in a more diplomatic discussion. It takes two, athero.

Question #1:

How much would it take to complete an AD PET trial? I believe Varney mentioned 300K to 400K, but that was a couple years ago.

Question #2:

In what indication was the infamously announced 'deal that got away,' when CX-717 activity was being halted?

Follow-up question: In what indication did the FDA allow Corx to resume trials, at all dose levels, in regards to the same compound?


Final Question: Why has Corx not given us an indication, either way, why this study has not resumed?


I'm now ready for the customary sophisticated excuses and apologetic tone.

They should 'pay it forward,' and send the page to Cortex Pharmaceuticals. I know, there is still 12 cents to go...

Pharmacies, not doctors, biggest source of pain pills
Reining in doctors won't end pill mill problem, critics say

By Bob LaMendola, Sun Sentinel
7:43 a.m. EDT, April 10, 2011


Florida cannot throttle rampant illegal traffic in pain pills by banning doctors from selling narcotic drugs, as Gov. Rick Scott and some state legislators propose. That's because doctors sell only a fraction of the pills.

So says a Nova Southeastern University researcher who calculates that doctors and pain clinics dispense an estimated 16 percent of the state's supply of oxycodone — the favorite drug at pill mills. About 80 percent of the pills are sold at pharmacies.

Dealers and addicts get most of their pain pills by "doctor shopping," a practice of visiting multiple doctors and drugstores to amass large quantities, police say. Banning doctors from selling pills would not slow doctor shopping, said Jim Hall, director of NSU's Center for the Study & Prevention of Substance Abuse.

"Banning the doctors … would do something, but it wouldn't do that much good," said Hall, who analyzed 2009 figures from the Drug Enforcement Administration.

The NSU research fuels a heated debate in the Legislature about how to combat Florida's role as the biggest single supplier in the Southeast of illegal pain pills, especially from unscrupulous pain clinics.

State officials are sharply divided. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Senate leaders favor starting the state's planned computer database to log all pain-drug prescriptions, so doctors, pharmacists and police can detect doctor shoppers. The stalled project got a boost Friday and could be ready to operate in three or four months.

But the governor and lawmakers in the House are pushing bills to kill the database, calling it ineffective and an unnecessary government intrusion on patient privacy. Instead, they favor the ban on doctors dispensing painkillers, anti-anxiety drugs and other controlled substances.

Florida has more than 6,300 "dispensing practitioners," who pay $100 a year for a license to sell medicine. That's almost double the 3,700 licensed in 2008, state figures show.

The growth of dispensing doctors tracks the boom in pain clinics. With dispensing doctors on staff, rogue clinic operators have made millions prescribing and selling pills. The number of pain clinics grew from almost none in 2007 to a peak of 1,300 last year. The number has fallen to about 860 since officials began cracking down. Before the pill mill boom, doctors sold less than 3 percent of oxycodone.

Nationally, only four states restrict doctors from selling drugs. In Florida, doctors have opposed the ban and defend their right to sell drugs from their offices, saying it helps severely injured and sick patients who can't travel. Also, doctors who custom-mix pain medicines would have to stop.

"Some patients really need this," said Dr. Jeffrey A. Zipper, a dispensing doctor and chief executive at the National Pain Institute, a chain based in Delray Beach with three clinics in Orange and Seminole counties.

The state has cut off most pain clinic sales by limiting them to sell only three days' worth of pills per month, meaning patients must go to drugstores for the rest.

"If a ban on physician dispensing would cure the problem, I believe the medical community would be behind it. But it doesn't cure the problem," Zipper said.

House Speaker Dean Cannon, R-Winter Park, a leading advocate of banning doctor dispensing, acknowledges that many doctor shoppers buy their supply at pharmacies, his spokeswoman said.

That's why House leaders added to their bill (HB 7095) restrictions saying narcotic pills could only be sold by pharmacies owned by publicly traded corporations, companies with $100 million in Florida assets and those open for at least 10 years. The bill also would repeal restrictions passed last year, such a ban on convicted felons owning pain clinics and regular state inspections.

The pharmacy restriction would halt pill mills from opening pharmacies or teaming up with small drugstores to skirt the state's restrictions on pain clinics, Cannon spokeswoman Katie Betta said.

"We have proposed what we would consider reasonable limitations for pharmacies to continue dispensing controlled substances," Betta said.

Small pharmacies have protested loudly, saying the restriction would unfairly hurt about 800 stores and boost giant companies.

"This would punish the independents and the privately owned companies," said David B. Brushwood, a University of Florida pharmacy professor.

Betta said House leaders are open to negotiating with opponents to find a compromise and pass a pill mill bill before the legislative session ends May 6. The pain pill database is "certainly part of the conversation," she said, but Cannon wants assurances it can be kept secure to protect patient privacy.

"If we are going to address this problem this year, we are going to have to come to a consensus," Betta said. "We're open to working with the governor's office, the attorney general and the Senate. It's too soon to tell what will happen."

Broward Sheriff's sergeant and wife arrested on drug charges in Palm Beach
Couple accused of "doctor shopping"

By Wayne K. Roustan, Sun Sentinel
4:23 p.m. EDT, April 9, 2011


WEST PALM BEACH A Broward Sheriff's sergeant and his wife were booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on Friday accused of oxycodone trafficking and prescription fraud.

Sgt. John Goodbread, 42, has been with the Broward Sheriff's Office since 1989 and worked in the Dania Beach district, according to sheriff's spokeswoman Dani Moschella. He has been suspended with pay as the investigation continues, she said.

The Broward Sheriff's Office alerted Palm Beach County Sheriff's detectives to the possibility that Sgt. Goodbread and his wife had been "doctor shopping" after receiving a call from the manager at the Boca Raton office of Dr. Harry Stein, according to the investigative report.

Stein's office had received a call from the Loxahatchee office of Dr. Javier Prettelt after insurance provider Coventry Health Care refused to cover Oxycontin medication that Dr. Prettelt said he never prescribed to the Goodbreads, the report stated.

Further investigation revealed prescriptions were obtained through at least three other doctors and were filled at different pharmacies, pain clinics or doctors' offices in Palm Beach County.

Detectives showed photo lineups to several pharmacists who identified the Goodbreads.

Sgt. Goodbread filled more than 30 prescriptions for Oxycodone, Oxycontin and Hydrocodone between April 2009 and December 2010, while Heather Goodbread purchased those same pain-killers plus Morphine Sulfate more than 30 times between April 2009 and February 2011, investigators said.

Three of the five doctors signed a sworn statement saying they did not know the other doctors were prescribing pain pills to the Goodbreads. Of the remaining two doctors, one had died and the other had destroyed his medical records when he moved his practice to Palm Springs.

Jail records list a Royal Palm Beach address for John Goodbread and a West Palm Beach address for Heather Goodbread.

"Doctor shopping" has bolstered the case for a statewide drug database.

It would allow pharmacists, doctors and law enforcement to catch patients who get multiple prescriptions in a short timeframe.

Governor Rick Scott opposes the database. Instead, he established a task force last month to help law enforcement shut down "pill mills." He wants the Legislature to repeal the 2009 law that authorized the database.

The database was supposed to be operational last December, but was stalled after a losing bidder filed a protest.

I am interested in your expert feelings on the ADHD points I raised. They are fair/logical arguments, and I'm sure the few remaining loyal followers on this board would be interested in your take, also. I do apologize that my tone sometimes takes a nasty turn, but it isn't entirely unprovoked.

I said I was filthy rich in spirit/soul, and because of the people around me (my family).

Ps. That is my bent...to vent. Much of it is tied to Corx, with which I'm intertwined on the dark side. I don't 'think' I'll make money with it, but I still hope to.

The enemy we know is better than the one we don't, don't you think? With ADHD as the lead, how long do you think it would take for the FDA to feel comfortable allowing these novel molecules to be regularly dosed in mostly healthy people (especially in this day and age--not when Provigil got the green light)? How would those same ADHD parents feel with a strange new drug with no long-term data? Could Ampakines also be subject to abuse/black market issues? They are, after all, cognitive/memory enhancers, even billed as such by Stoll in the past. That would certainly make them a target of the recreation/lifestyle drug user/abuser, as seen with the amphetamines and Provigil.

I understand the study may be comparably cheap and swift (but not necessarily in relation to a simple little AD PETscan trial which seems to have vanished unquestioningly). How long has it been since the ADHD IND preparations commenced? 14 months? With your timeline of 30 days to get results, we could have run about 14 trials by now. Do you still think mgmt should not be held accountable for, once again, dragging their feet (assuming they are moving) on this trial, which, you yourself assumed should be well on its way? You've been forever mum on their involvement in this debacle, so I just want to give you an opportunity to clear your head.

Are you still thinking that we could get the results (Correction/Edit: This was the projection for a post-study deal, lol) by the end of this year? Maybe we could get the month-in endpoints and stop the trial based on the positive data? What do you think, Gfp? Am I still Monday morning quarterbacking, or did I blow this so-called reasonable projection out of the water when it was suggested (a year ago)? An effective team would be looking hard at those play tapes and refrain from making laughable projections:

Good--Take one for the team if you lose some, and reap the benefits if you win. I'll be standing by to see if you need coddling, or your ego held in check :) I was pulling for you with that marijuana trade, and I'm glad you made some dough. Is that negative? I think not. However, I was negative on the NIV trade--and China in general--do you remember? It appears that being negative isn't necessarily equivalent to being wrong, is it?

Btw-I'm not positive about the dark spaces that comprise most of Corx, but I've given plenty positive frames of reference to the Corx board--Acad, Prana, Corcept, Trgt, etc.--so it's not all doom and gloom for me. I wasn't necessarily negative on PYMX.ob either, just suspicious of the PR machine, and apprehensive as an investor, particularly as it applies to biotech, and me. Unlike you, I can't afford to be so aggressive--I have two kids and a heavy mortgage (but doable with two working-class salaries)--so my priorities differ from yours. My aggressive side would certainly get his feet wet, but he'd also be spreading it around too, not wanting to weigh himself down too heavily with a mad scientist or a single philosophy.

I'm a realist--sometimes the foe of religion, sometimes the ally, sometimes neutral or indifferent....

What I great opportunity to short/buy puts...It's been many years since I've done an option trade, but I may look into this one.

Hasn't the NIV debacle humbled you? Corx? There are very few honest people on any of these boards, ombow, doesn't matter which co./website hosts them.

The conf call website said there is no plug in available, and the videos on the slides could not be viewed via "webcast." I do have Windows media, which it said is necessary to listen, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

The story sounds pretty good, but then again, these articles and reports are intended to entice/impress. At this early stage--from an investor standpoint--I am skeptical. It is too easy to get burned, especially when the hype seems to come like a wave (only to be stopped by the inevitable break, in this case, the financing). If you play your cards right, you could ride another wave, but you will have to sit on your board patiently and wait for it to come. Just don't be fooled by the little ripples, or the disastrous tsunami's, which may present themselves as opportunity when they first become visible.

Did you actually hear the presentation or see the videos?

Gfp-$10m is a lot of debt for a tiny co. ($50m mc--before financing), still in it's infancy (2002), with a long, long way to go in its drug development. I read that article about pymx.ob a week or two ago--I don't know how I came across it, maybe something to do with Biotech Values board--and had it on my watch list also.

Another one I got wind of in early March (and watched fly): CIGX (Star Scientific)

It still may be worth an investment, but I'd only do it after a dramatic pull back. They've had lots of news...good news...lately. They've been able to reduce/remove the carcinogens from tobacco, and develop products to help with smoking cessation (lozenges), have won a ruling that bypasses tobacco regulations, are working on parlaying that IP into Alzheimer's (etal) drug development (albeit very, very early also). There is some patent fight involving RJ Reynolds which needs to be considered, but they are making money on safe(r) tobacco products which skirts FDA tobacco laws.

Once upon a time...before RD trial successes...it would have been said that this was a good problem to have. Now?...It's just a long problematic and fruitless journey. That couldn't be any more true of this stale mgmnt team, who have very, very, little ability to think outside-the-box.

The journey becomes much longer when you sit at an intersection, unsure, with basically your own limitations holding you back.

I think today's level of insight (resulting in large part by an accumulation of disillusionment and abandonment) says it all.

Let the disillusionment continue...

Maybe the damage we have been experiencing lately has something to do with WWII radiation. Too many of the baby boomers appear brain damaged...judging from the way the globe is interacting. Who runs the companies these days? Who runs the gov't these days? Who runs the dictatorships these days? If you said the baby boomer generation, you would be correct. Someone needs to study/dissect the brains of the m'fer's making all the decisions these days...

Another tribute--to Bob Marley:

Turns out I'm a fool. I was told by my 7 year-old that 'google' meant innumerable, or the greatest number. He told me that some time ago, and I believed him. It wasn't an April Fool's prank, but here are some from google anyway (from Wikipedia):

Easter eggs and April Fools' Day jokes
Main article: Google's hoaxes
Google has a tradition of creating April Fools' Day jokes. For example, Google MentalPlex allegedly featured the use of mental power to search the web.[190] In 2007, Google announced a free Internet service called TiSP, or Toilet Internet Service Provider, where one obtained a connection by flushing one end of a fiber-optic cable down their toilet.[191] Also in 2007, Google's Gmail page displayed an announcement for Gmail Paper, allowing users to have email messages printed and shipped to them.[192] In 2010, Google jokingly changed its company name to Topeka in honor of Topeka, Kansas, whose mayor actually changed the city's name to Google for a short amount of time in an attempt to sway Google's decision in its new Google Fiber Project.[193][194] In 2011, Google was at it again with an April Fool's Joke as they announced Gmail Motion, an interactive way of controlling Gmail and your computer with body movements via the user's webcam.[195]
In addition to April Fools' Day jokes, Google's services contain a number of Easter eggs. For instance, Google included the Swedish Chef's "Bork bork bork," Pig Latin, "Hacker" or leetspeak, Elmer Fudd, and Klingon as language selections for its search engine.[196] In addition, the search engine calculator provides the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything from Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.[197] Furthermore, when searching the word "recursion", the spell-checker's result for the properly spelled word is exactly the same word, creating a recursive link.[198] Likewise, when searching for the word "anagram," meaning a rearrangement of letters from one word to form other valid words, Google's suggestion feature displays "Did you mean: nag a ram?"[199] In Google Maps, searching for directions between places separated by large bodies of water, such as Los Angeles and Tokyo, results in instructions to "kayak across the Pacific Ocean." During FIFA World Cup 2010, search queries like "World Cup", "FIFA", etc. will cause the "Goooo...gle" page indicator at the bottom of every result page to read "Goooo...al!" instead.

Damn I miss my childhood! I knew [of] Redd Foxx long before I met Green Mary. Never even put the two together...until now. Another piece of the google puzzle...:
