What do Tamiflu, stem cells, and love have in common?

This post was partially inspired by CNN's svelte Becky Anderson. She has this section in her 'CONNECT' news segment in which she asks viewers to provide six bits of information that connect or relate two apparently unrelated people, places or events.

It is quite a great brain teaser or memory stimulator. For example, two people may be connected because they attended the same hallowed institution, have a friend in common, and so on, even though neither one ever actually met the other physically.

And, if you have often wondered how come nobody has really found a safe and non-tablet alternative to Viagra, this article recommends a few tips for getting the elixir of love, including hydrating yourself adequately and eating slow-releasing energy foods like grains and others low in carbohydrates.

So, have you found the other five connectors?
