    Nope, I never dreamed of a big wedding, nor do I want a big wedding, most weddings are laughable to say the least, someone invites you to their wedding to share in one of their special moments in life, and you come, eat their food and insult them whilst you are at it?

     

    I think not, I see my money better spent on a honeymoon, house, etc etc, unfortunately, my mother has other ideas *it sucks being an only child*

    When I was a kid growing up in Italy...I never realised it...i never thought anything of it when one of my teachers used to call me "cioccolatina", but now its everywhere i go(after moving from there), its gotten beyond getting me angry, it just makes me laugh...just a few hrs ago, this old man was like you know you this evelator is for ppl, you should have gone in the other one.

     

    If i dont get racially abused at least once a day, i start getting paranoid.

    Hmmm I had a housemate that was pretty much allergic to everything...when he annoyed the xaar out of us (which was pretty much most of the time)...a few of us would take great pleasure in blowing up some ballons and placing them around the house (he was allergic to laxtex too) :D

    You know what Younis...I have the same dilema with old ppl...I mean what use are they? All they do is sit, eat and in between there is a whole lot of gaylo involved.

     

    What should we do with these ppl after they no longer are any use to society? I've thought long and hard for this and I say use them as fire wood and safe a few trees in the process *include the jaad eating unproductive to society faraaxs here too*...

     

    Or we could simply end world famine...when a person becomes infirm...eat them! :D

     

    Oh how different the world would be had it been ruled by me and Younis...*sighs*

    Nope I don't get embarassed by my friends and they no longer get embarassed by my antics

     

    Hooyo on the other hand...she has got it down to an art...so I go home last week...haven't seen my friends for awhile so they came over to dinner...anyways we are all at the dinner table eating...hooyo and ayeeyo included...everyone is catching up with whats going on and hooyo randomly drops into the conversation..."you think i could join in a nudist colony?" redface.gifredface.gifredface.gif

     

    After a sudden silence and then giggling we all calmed down...except for me

    ^^ As adults, we have 206 bones...It's a common misbelief but WE ALL HAVE 12 PAIRS of ribs...

     

    Nope, genetics instructions do not always contain accurate information, that's why we have hereditary diseases, mutations, or mistakes in our DNA.

     

    lol i'm guessing that most of us would prefer 5 fingers to 6...I don't know if it is a dominant trait, but if it is, then it would be passed on to the offspring, however, if the trait is a recessive one, then you'd need two 6 fingered parents to have a 6-fingered child (1/4 chance). But then again, just because you have the gene coding for the 6 fingers does not mean you'll express the trait. It all has to do with penetrance...if the 6 finger gave ppl a super human strength, or it had some magic ability and it was advantageous in the society we'd lived in...then there would be more of us with the 6th finger...but because there is no advantage to it, the trait is not expressed widely in our population(?).

     

     

    ps lol interesting question

    LOL Xu the first quote you had is my fav of all time

     

    Guy on Airplane : Oh great, I always end up sitting next to a damn baby.

    Stewie: What did you just say?

    Lois: Stewie, stop fussing.

    Stewie: Pipe down Lois. (Slaps guy on head.) Hey big man, turn around. Oh you can't hear me now. I was going to watch the movie, but forget it. For the next 5 hours, you're my b&@%!.

     

    oh and

     

    Meg (about Peter being retarded): I can never go to school again!

    Stewie: Oh, yes, Meg, yes yes yes... everything was going swimmingly for you until this. Yes, yes, THIS is the thing that will ruin your reputation, not your years of grotesque appearance, or your awkward social graces, or that Felix Ungerish way you clear your sinuses, no no no, it's THIS. Do you hear yourself talk? I might kill you tonight. :D:D

    Despotic...our bodies already regenerate to a certain extent, but its gradually lost the older we get (Hayflick limit). Growing a whole toe is a tricky process, but we already regenerate to a certain extent e.g skin cells last a lil over 2 weeks and our stomach lining is replaced constantly, bones heal themselves...our bodies are yet unable to deal with the same amount of truama that a salamdar does...but small scale stuff, we can handle smile.gif

     

    Regeneration has been studied for centries, but it has only been since the last that we are now able to see what's going on at a molecular level.

     

    Wisdom...I think stem cell therapy has a lot of potential, the potential to change the face of human diseases as we know it today...but alas the one thing holding it back is as well as the lack of funding is the avaliability of stem cells...futher research needs to be carried out before the questions you posed can be answered.

     

    Injecting the VEGF into patients heart, so far has caused no problems such as the complications you mentioned...also you forget that ppl who recieve gene therapy are ppl who have failed all other conventional treatments; (one of the men in doctor Isner's study was told by his previous doctor "to sit still until technology catches up with you")...they'd suffer angina attacks from simple things e.g shaving, walking etc. Even a little increase in blood flow in previously ischaemic areas goes a long way. For example, even patients with kidney failure need just 10% of their cells functioning again and they'd be able to go off dialysis. Leukemia patients are injected with erythropoietin (hormone) which accelerates the body's production of red blood cells, although it is not a cure, it goes a long way in the management of the disease. However, more clinical trials and research needs to be done, to assess any long term complications.
