h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I saw entertainment tonight today while I was waiting with mom in the family room waiting for dad to come home so we could eat that spaghetti in the kitchen....so this image comes up on the screen...Richard Pryor ... face in such pain... he has multiple sclerosis...its so sad...because he used to be such a funny man I never really saw him but he was a funny man all smiles and jokes and laughs I bet and now he's on the screen again but he's listening to a letter this little ten year old girls writes to et about how she feels so sorry for him and he tries to say thank you Katie but he can hardly breath for gods sake and he's stuck in this wheelchair...and the little sheaths of myelin are deteriorating and going away and not insulating like they damn well should be and so because of this tiny problem his nervous system is shot and he cant even hardly talk anymore...and it makes you wonder... and it makes you wish you could do something... and it makes you hope to god that Dr. Bansal and Dr. Pfeiffer and all their colleagues are this much closer to finding a cure for this disease because of a little research you did this summer...and its almost a joke to wish it- who the hell are you you're just a high school student you don't know what on earth you're even dreaming about-----but there's a chance there is that what I did this summer will help maybe somehow someday............and this CHANCE this possibility is inspiring
