I quit watching the show once they hired the scooby doo gang. It was just fine the way it was. The show was about stunts and science, not noobs and boobs.

"My IQ and boob size are the same!"

Use it, honey! LOL

There is a difference between "stem cell research" and "embryonic stem cell research." [...] Literally nothing has been accomplished with stem cells from aborted feti. [...]

In the news yesterday (31 Oct 2006) UK and US scientists announced they've grown liver from baby stem cells. If that's not pretty freaking amazing, I don't know what is. Mind you, they didn't use embryonic stem cells, but then they didn't use adult cells either.

The fact is, there's a wellspring of research that's being performed in countries around the world... but not America. America is falling behind. I'm sure our biopharm industry is delighted to hear that all of the new patents won't be theirs.

Seems like America exports brains and boobs to the world. That is, we can't produce commodities cheaper, so we develop smarter tech; bio, nano and/or we send culture (e.g. movie, tv, books, and porn) abroad. If America is forced to compete solely with boobs instead of brains, we're at a huge disadvantage.

Fact is, the majority of Americans stand in favor of it. What a shame. This administration with its anti-intellectuallism is crippling every bit of our economy... Well, everybody but Haliburton.
