vaccine blocks cervical cancer?

A preliminary study has found that a new vaccine is 100% effective at blocking cervical cancer.

ETOOGEEKY

Geeky thought of the day:

I want an RSS feed for HeadsYesTailsNo.
Then I could feed it to the Magic Eight-Ball.

It would be psychoanalyze-pinhead for the modern age.

edit: thanks [livejournal.com profile] drwex for pointing out the broken URLs.

The McCain-Graham anti-torture amendment passed the Senate last night by a startling 90-9 margin.  Curiously, none of the articles I saw listed the nine senators who voted to continue torturing detainees.

Fortunately, senate.gov did post a roll call:
