A scientist was using cancer cells to test a compound but she accidentally used too much of the compound and wound up killing the cells. The compound she was using hadn't been thought of as a drug at all. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070204/sc_nm/...HNlYwNtZW5ld3M-

We humans get so lucky sometimes I just hope we're actually getting closer to a "cure" rather than discovering another temporary drug that will ultimately become useless once evolution kicks in again...:(
