The Red Brick Times

Remember the Woody Allen movie Sleeper where he's accidently cryogenically frozen and wakes up in the future? In one of the first scenes after waking he notices that all the doctors in the room are smoking. When he asks them why smoking hasn't been eliminated by now they laugh at him and say that since his time science has discovered that smoking is extremely healthy, the joke being of course that scientists don't know as much as they think they do. Smart guy that Woody. (NY Times link - requires registration)
