    Some of things I knew were true, others I didn't.

    They seem to be skewed toward biology, or maybe it's just that biology is the most interesting science :p.

    I'm waiting for the Superhuman experiments. I wish to be more evolved for space.
    Along with waiting for a space filter that humans could create where we can breathe in space without oxygen tanks, and maybe upgraded skin protection.

    Come on Bio, I hate you, but you're gonna lead to this future one day.

    Would be really nice if our food hole wasn't what we breathed through. Would be soooo much less choking deaths.

    Not sure if you guys are aware of this or not. But, Red you may be interested to read this article, as you live in Arizona if I remember correctly.

    I live in a hotspot for Valley Fever, but I'm a native Arizonan and we tend to have an immunity (I also don't go outside much.) You tend to see it in animals a lot. We are very cautious about stirring up dust. Although water is very precious, you constantly see them spraying down the dirt when doing construction. We get severe dust storm alerts through the emergency broadcast system and no one goes outside.

    Surely wearing breathing masks would help? My dad has terrible dust allergies, and he wears one whenever he's doing interior work that could raise dust.

    Still, sounds bad. Makes me glad I live somewhere boring (UK). The only things we have are chavs and senile/racist old people. And even they're rarer than they used to be!

    All I read was CERN and immediately I assumed a defensive stance.

    Scientists planting false memories in mice is scary. Just imagine what would happen if that were to happen in humans.

    Its about time humans went back to the moon. We should have bases on the moon and Mars by now.
