Was going to be just a simple pills scene, but you guess what popped up
when I searched from prescription label images.... ;)

Nice work Jaime! Did you use bullet physics to fill the pill bottle?

   Thanks, and yes, of course... do you think I'm going to place an
object by hand again? :)


P.S.: Just seen your mail... I will send you the files later: I was just
going to clean them and to add some comments.

Has this medication been approved by the POV-Ray Team?

[to self: probably not; a povscription would be mandatory...]

 From Wikipedia:

"The primary indication of Povagra is treatment of inspirational
dysfunction (inability to sustain a satisfactory inspiration to complete
the making of a scene)."

"In clinical trials, the most common adverse effects of Povagra use
included headache, flushing, dyspepsia, nasal congestion and impaired
vision, including photophobia and blurred vision, so hardcore POV-Ray
users have nothing to fear."

   Yes, in fact it's manufactured by their pharmaceutical branch
(POVFIZER PHARM), and originally sold on the "POV-Team Pharmacy".

> [to self: probably not; a povscription would be mandatory...]

   Trough official means, yes, you will need a povscription. But this a
Spam-advertised offering to illegally buy original capsules through an
unscrupulous third party (that's me: just send 250 POV units and I will
send you 2 pots, plus a pack of graph paper and a measuring tape keyring).

250 POV units? That's pretty cheap, but what guarantee do I have that 
you have not tinkered with the capsules? Diluted with strongly 
compressed jpeg's for instance...

   Casually, I was thinking about making the capsules transparent, and
filling them with basic primitives... would that be enough guarantee? :)

After two hard days of detailed organisational planning (with non-open
reorganisation) and (of course not-only-)factual dispute this was the first
laugh I did -
thank you Jaimes

Finally - it's about time!
I've been stuck using those generic, Deep Blue, C-alis tablets.

   A bit late, but thanks... you reminded me that I've not done anything 
worth for almost two years. :(

I'ld never support your opinion in this direction, but reminding to publish more
sources should be allowed (at least the ones I asked for ...).
