They were also transfected with an AAV virus designed to genetically manipulate the cells so that they could be inhibited by the laser. It's not as simple as the headline makes it sound. |

Ya know, cause the pilots are all stereotypically drunkards? For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Nevertheless, the ruler is not truly wise who cannot discern evils before they develop themselves, and this is a faculty given to few. Niccolo Machiavelli Karma is funny, people who kick dogs usually get bitten. If someone doesn't add value to your life, then that someone shouldn't be a part of it. You can always trust people to do whatever is in their own interests. It is certain wastelands will be brought under cultivation. |

Like a car that needs electricity and gas, we need both electricity and fuel in the form of organic food. Don't buy cut rate food just like you wouldn't put rusty old gas in your tank. You an it will misfire. |
