I actually believe Matt on this one. Leo told him, so it must be true.

Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.
yes, I too totally believe it...if leo said so who are we to doubt him. Some of you guys are doubting Thomases...
In the Matt fairytale what happened to the monk?

[QUOTE=cdnmatt;225391]I guess this is for Laos, not Thailand, but has anyone ever heard of this? I guess what happens in Laos is if for example you get caught selling a lot of ice / yaba, enough to warrant the death penalty.... Instead of going through the pain in the ass of taking care of you in custody, they just give you a shot in the arm, send you home, and you're dead shortly after.
I'm not sure what the shot is, but assuming it must be some non-transmittable deadly virus / disease. This way, the government doesn't have to waste their resources on you, and you end up dead at the end anyway, so goal accomplished I guess. Has anyone else ever heard of ...
No I haven't
Just as your fakery starts to run out of steam you throw new fuel on the fire....
Maybe Leo from Lao is getting his story a little confused with the death vans used in China to kill convicted people when it pulls up outside their homes ?

No, Leo just takes everything his mom says as the unquestionable word of God.
He's even under the assumption his mom can fix spinal cord injuries. He keeps telling me I'll be able to see again, so I've tried explaining the medical research that's going on. They're trying to regenerate nerve cells with nanotechnology, and research currently seems to be focused on the spinal cord. However, if they can figure out how to fix a spinal cord, then they should be able to fix my optic nerve.
While showing him what the spinal cord was, he pipes up, "oh, my mother can fix that". Oh, for fuck sakes, no she can't...
you should at least let her try...whats the harm??

She owns a small vegetable garden out in a rural village in Laos. I'm pretty confident she doesn't hold the secret to nerve regeneration, and is just keeping it from the rest of the world.
Unless there's some unexpected breakthrough, which is unlikely, we're probably at least 10 years out on that technology. It is coming, but it's still a good ways off.
Matt, stop being such a bore and go visit the lad's mother. Yeah she probably can't fix you, but at least you get to eat some larb and drink some beerlao with ice. You cannot possibly go wrong with that.
But keep in mind - if they every come up with a cure for your blindness, you are going to have to find a new 'story".
Still, look on the bright side - a cure is a long way off so you've got plenty of time to think of some other personal "disaster".
And don't mock Leo the Lao's mum. She may not be able to fix spinal chord injuries, but if she grows carrots in her vegetables garden, you may be on to something.
