Back when I was a kid, I used to spend a good bit of time playing the original Sonic the Hedgehog. I never did get into all of the sequels with Tails and the Echidna guys. I picked up a Gamecube collection of all the Sonic classics from Blockbuster for about $7, since Yara wanted it. Apparently, Hyunoo wouldn’t let her play his copy of it.

Now I see that Sonic has made it into medical history! Here’s a quote:
But further research is needed to develop Sonic Hedgehog into a medication, and that is expected to take years.

Here’s the unbelievable article. Here’s the website of the principal investigator. He really doesn’t look like someone who plays a lot of Sega, but then again we all have secrets.

I wonder if the Sonic the Hedgehog drug and Viagra will have unfortunate consequences.
