In idle moments, I sometimes contemplate what might be the ultimate symbol of uselessness.
Up to this point, my leading contender was an empty ice-tray in the freezer.
But I think this tops that: a headline from Spiegel Online that reads (my translation) "Catholic Doctors Want to Cure Homosexuals with Homeopathy".
Amazing: doctors trying to cure something that is not a disease with something that is not medicine.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new champion in the world of meaninglessness.

The article's quite amusing too. My pseudo-catholic stepfather, who sits next to me as I type, reassures me that the sugar cube touting medics are unlikely to have the imprimatur of the Holy See. So that's all right then.
Homo-sexuals. Hom(e)o-thapy. See? It follows hermenuitc principles.
For added irony, my word verification for this comment is "micky"
I had thought for a moment that, perhaps, by re-naming 'homosexuality' as 'homeosexuality' one might increase its religious acceptability.
But your comments, Francis, suggest otherwise.
I suppose it's not going to be that easy.
