the stuff apparently works, even on older injuries. It was in the news several weeks ago, with pictures of a guy's finger, regrown after having been severed from the first joint, complete with nail.

I don't think his finger is the appendage he's going to need to regrow.
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

I wonder if pixie dust would work on the brains of republicans.
Perhaps the brain matter would finally develop normally.

Maybe it's not too late.

This is amazing. :thumb: A strange choice for a last sentence though: ""That is something that is real science fiction.""
Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow.

:doh: No kidding. Which is it? Real, or fiction? Stupid-arsed newspapers went and fired all of the proofreaders, and this is what they've ended up with: Sentences that parse like they were written by friggin' trogolodytes on a weekend bender.

Did they? I wondered why The Times had gone downhill in recent times. Sloppy spelling and language in general, sometimes.

Yeah... Totally wasted. The bit that grew around the foreskin, grew up to make movies. It's amazing how a penis actually grew hair on top, and ears, too! Truly, a medical miracle.

How do you arrive at someone named "Bush" being grown from a piece of foreskin?
