War of the Worlds

It's amazing how some drugs' names sound like something from Tranformers. Like:

Ganciclovir vs. Microgynon

Everytime I hear "Ganciclovir" I imagine an evil metallic monstrosity. "Microgynon" sounds a bit like one of those car robot things. (Here's a link to the earlier Citroen ad)
An antiviral vs. an oral contraceptive - should be an interesting fight.


A while ago, someone came up with this brilliant game, whereby you scan in the barcode of anything, and you play it against other barcodes - the Barcode Battler. Someone should come up with a drug name battler. It will be a great hit with us sad scientists.
