A truely spiffing band. Sadly, people only seem to take notice of the sexy lead singer, and not the other two sexy members! They are friends with David Bowie, which makes them even cooler. Look out for the bassist's dance moves, they rule.

placebo

Innefective medication given to someone to psychologically make them well. They think that they have been given medication that makes them better so their mind makes themself get better because they think the drug is taking effect. Confusing.
Dr. Jimbob: We got a guy at the front desk complaining that he is critically ill. I don't think he is though, I mean I've checked him over and he's fine.

Dr. Thomas: Just give him a placebo, that should sort it.
