Mood:

A drug that tans your skin, causes you to lose weight AND helps your libido?!
I’m anxiously awaiting the next 2 years, as will most overweight geeks. Now, if only there are no nasty side-effects!

   Yahoo moved or removed their link. I’ve updated it to point to Wired News’ article.
   The drug is still in testing, so you can’t get it anywhere yet.

   Thanks
