Does Viagra Enhance Your iPod Too?

The Israeli air force is giving its fighter pilots Viagra to improve their performance. It's supposed to give them a better handle on their cock....pits. I guess the Viagra will help them grip their sticks more effectively. You know, the joystick thing that controls the jet? Sorry, I couldn't resist. Apparently, the same blue pill that makes the penises of old men work properly also helps people function better in high altitude, low-oxygen environments that fighter pilots are constantly working in.

Other uses for Viagra, according to the article:

— Viagra saved the life of Lewis Goodfellow, born prematurely last year and weighing only 1lb 8oz, when one of his lungs failed. It caused tiny blood vessels in the lung to widen, to give his body sufficient oxygen

— Argentinian research last year found that the drug may be useful in treating jet lag. Hamsters subjected to simulated jet lag recovered up to 50 per cent faster when given the drug, known generically as sildenafil

— In an American study in 2005 Viagra was given to pregnant women with high blood pressure. It helped to maintain healthy circulation and possibly contributed to easier, safer childbirth

— Viagra mixed with stimulants such as cocaine or Ecstasy has become increasingly popular in nightclubs. The combined drug — known as “sextasy” — is taken to fuel all-night dancing and sex marathons

Who would have thought a little blue pill made for erections could have so many other uses!

Completely unrelated, I've found someone who dislikes iPods more than me. I can tell already, I'm going to like reading this site.
