Eyeball Tattoo

Not a tattoo of an eyeball but a tattoo on an actual eyeball. Apparently this technique has been used on blind eyeballs to correct some type of visual imperfection so a blind persons eyeball doesn't look weird but this guy just did it to see if it could be done.

Favorite Superbowl XLII Commentary

I swear I heard Joe Buck say somewhere in the second quarter,

"This team anticipated getting the ball and moving that ball to the other side of the field but they over-anticipated."

Isn't that what happens for 99% of all football plays ever played? i guess i have just never heard it put so simply yet so eloquent before.

60's Gi-JOE Astronaut Suit

I posted this on ebay. I thought it was funny.



At one time this was top-secret classified information but as a result of public concerns and requests, documents have recently been released to the public concerning speculations that GI-JOE was performing government tests known as Project Redbook. These tests consisted of attempts to launch an action figure into outer space without the use of a protective space suit. This suit available for auction was the suit that was used for the initial tests - Project Redbook Phase One, which according to newly released information, these tests were successful. According to previous speculations, we had reason to believe that GI-Joe burned up upon reentry during the initial phases of Project Redbook Phase Two but according to new evidence, previously unreleased by authorities, it is confirmed that GI-Joe met his demise by the hands of a couple of ten year olds armed with firecrackers in an undisclosed backyard in Sacramento, California in his birthday suit in the seventies after a brief laizzes-faire with Wonder Woman.

GLOW IN THE DARK CATS!



South Korean scientists have cloned cats by manipulating a fluorescent protein gene, a procedure which could help develop treatments for human genetic diseases, officials said Wednesday.

In a side-effect, the cloned cats glow in the dark when exposed to ultraviolet beams.

A team of scientists led by Kong Il-keun, a cloning expert at Gyeongsang National University, produced three cats possessing altered fluorescence protein (RFP) genes, the Ministry of Science and Technology said.

"It marked the first time in the world that cats with RFP genes have been cloned," the ministry said in a statement.

"The ability to produce cloned cats with the manipulated genes is significant as it could be used for developing treatments for genetic diseases and for reproducing model (cloned) animals suffering from the same diseases as humans," it added.

The cats were born in January and February. One was stillborn while two others grew to become adult Turkish Angoras, weighing 3.0 kilogrammes (6.6 pounds) and 3.5 kilogrammes.

"This technology can be applied to clone animals suffering from the same diseases as humans," the leading scientist, Kong, told AFP.

"It will also help develop stemcell treatments," he said, noting that cats have some 250 kinds of genetic diseases that affect humans, too.

The technology can also help clone endangered animals like tigers, leopards and wildcats, Kong said.

South Korea's bio-engineering industry suffered a setback after a much-touted achievement by cloning expert Hwang Woo-Suk turned out to have been faked.

The government banned Hwang from research using human eggs after his claims that he created the first human stem cells through cloning were ruled last year to be bogus.

Hwang is standing trial on charges of fraud and embezzlement.
