^ thats true, and unless i'm mistaken (microbiology is a long time ago for me) they are in a state of hibernation and cannot induce a pathology until they 'wake up.'

a black holes gravitational pull is so strong not even light can escape it.

A liver can grow back to original size in two weeks post partial hepatectomy. They can take up to 60% of a liver.

Now i'm bored and looking stuff up

[- Genetics -]
In a single human cell there are between 10,000 and 100,000 coded messages known as genes. If all the directions contained in all these genes were written down, the words would fill the equivalent of 10,000 volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

[- Genetics -]
Scientists at the Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia have bred mice that have more than one set of parents. Known as "multimice," these creatures are spawned by taking two embryos created by two sets of parent mice, placing them together in such a way that the embryos grow together, then transplanting the entire organism into the womb of a third female mouse. The result is a baby mouse born with genetic characterisitics of both set of parents.

[- Memory -]
During experiments conducted in 1962 at the University of Michigan, scientists successfully extracted memory from one animal and transferred it to another. The experiment was conducted in the following manner. Over a period of time planarian worms were trained to behave in a particular way when exposed to light. These worms were then cut into pieces and fed to untrained planarians, and the untrained worms were put through the same learning paces as their predecessors. The second batch of worms, those that had dined on the first, learned many times faster than the originals, indicating that knowledge had somehow been transferred through body tissue. Similar experiments were later conducted at Baylor University: mice were trained to run through a maze, and an extract was then made of their brains. This extract was fed to untrained mice, which then learned the same maze twice as fast as their predecessors. If placed in a different maze, the untrained mice showed no particular aptitude for learning the layout. The implication of these experiments is that memory can be transferred from one being to another somatically as well as experientially.

[- Population -]
10 percent of all human beings ever born are alive at this very moment.

Oh oh got another one. Did you know that rabbits can see behind themselves without turning their heads? Their eyes are placed in a perfect position to be able to look behind while facing forward.

Yup, this is dead on. Im doing Microbiology as part of this year in University. Its the most interesting thing i've ever done, and also kind of a rush working with pathogens, haha.

Our tutor was telling us that a dead guy was found frozen in the side of a mountain they think from around 1000 BC, and when they cut open his stomach there were live spores in there.

They lived for 3000 years inside a dead guy's stomach in the side of a frozen mountain! This is why bacteria is probably the most amazing organism ever.

Agreed. Center of gravity, balance, gotcha.

Bollox.

I believe the correct name for that kind of faulty logic is "circular argument".


If you moved 1ft on the 5ft bar you'd be 1/5 (20%) away from the center of gravity.

Do the same with a 10ft bar and you're only 1/10 (10%) away from the center of gravity, so how the heck can the shorter bar be more balanced?

You say But the same amount of deviation would have to be 20%, which would actually be 2ft, not 1ft.

Now consider that the same amount of deviation means the balance, or lack of it, would be exactly the same by definition.

Seriously ol' son, give it some thought.

Then again, why be serious when we can be silly?

Microbio was cool but i hated when i had to identify unknown bacteria in the lab. There are like 10 tests that you need to do and you have to remember which bacteria will metabolize what and which will produce gas and which will produce acid and what color the solution is supposed to turn. My professor was a fuckin nazi with that stuff, wouldn't give us any info and expected us to memorize each test and identify bacteria off the top of our heads.
