  2. Okay, bacteriophages could be injected into the human body to fight bacterial infections. But bacteriophages also give bacteria "novel genes that cells can retool to gain new functions." ...What could possibly go wrong?

  3. WHOA! WHERE DO I BEGIN??

    Ohio: Of course they're confused,
    considering the first flight was
    in Kitty Hawk, NORTH CAROLINA. If
    I was NC, I'd be all over this.

    The S.S. Ourang Medan: Didn't
    anyone question that lone survivor
    about that large sealed box he
    rowed ashore with? Perhaps he
    conveniently forgot to mention it?
    I don't think so. And this Silvio
    Scherli dude. Seems to know a lot
    about EXPORTING stuff. It's well
    known that some things can't cross
    water without assistance. And now
    there's no remaining records. . .

    Maine Horror: I'm disappointed they
    left out the classic zombie movie
    "2" - filmed entirely on location
    in Biddeford, Maine. Sadly, this
    masterpiece seems to have dropped
    into history's dustbin, however, I
    was able to find the trailer on
    YouTube: Movie Trailer - 2.
    Full disclosure: I was Zombie 38,
    or maybe 39. I dunno, I forget.

    Happy Friday Miss C!

  5. 35,000 Ohio plates have to be recycled because the plane is flying from left to right instead of right to left? What difference does it make? Talk about government waste.

  6. Bruce - In order for the plane to be towing the banner as shown on the plate, it would have to be flying backward, not something plane are often known to do.
