Common Cold Cure… Where Oh Where… ooh, and jetpacks too!

I have a horrible head cold. Apparently my sinuses were optimized for maximum head-cold misery, which means I get to spend a few days feeling like my skull is a basketball. Feh. I thought somebody was going to cure the common cold and spare humanity from all this inconvenience. And weren’t we supposed to have jetpacks by now? And robots to cheerfully do all the crappy stuff like housework? Man, the future isn’t what it used to be.
For the record, yes I do realize the common cold is an ever-changing myriad of mutating strains and can’t be cured by a single targeted pharmaceutical knockout punch. So while the lab coats toil to assemble some kind of cold-killer medicine, can we at least have jetpacks and robots?
