Well we've got a bit to get through today, and what better way to start then with a new gift idea. I think it was toilet paper today.
There is also a new edition of the "weekly" SuperDog!. Something happens I think, and there is yet another exciting, nail-biting, cliffhanger of a conclusion. SuperDog! was recently reviewed, here quote from the review:
SuperDog! brings online comics to a completely new level, with it's sheer brilliance in writing. The illustrations themselves are also highly commendable, with each scene giving so much detail that the reader cannot help feeling a part of the action.
Note: quote may be edited from original
SuperDog!'s readers and I could not agree more!
Gene mutated in fruit flies doubles life span
Maybe I should stop picking on cnn.com but there reporters are so bloody stupid, I cannot believe the crap that is churned out. (note to myself: how many people say this about my site?)
However this one entrenches itself in stupidity from the onset.
a laboratory discovery that researchers said may lead to drugs to help people live longer and, perhaps, even lose weight.
Since ancient times man has been searching for a secret formula that will finally allow them to understand women. Apparently they have also been interested in the fountain of youth as well. Well now they have found it!
This drug can help you live longer, and if you were a fruit fly it will DOUBLE your life span! But hang on that is not all, news just in.....it maybe be able to.... ohhh I'm so excited I can't say it..... TO LOSE WEIGHT! Yes stop press, you might lose weight.

Helfand said the gene mutation appears to work by restricting calorie absorption on a cellular level -- in effect, putting the cells on a diet. This raises the possibility, he said, of one day developing a pill that would both extend life and control weight.
"From what we know about this gene, that makes perfect sense," he said.
Goodbye diet-milkshakes. Also goodbye fat heffers at the beach in bikinis, why do I feel sick all of a sudden? This pill will help people diet without knowing it, there cells will stop absorbing calories and you will poop more! Just what the doctor ordered!
I don't know but, what is the point in having 150 year old skinny people around? People pretty much are out of it at 70 these days, I don't want to imagine conversations coming from the mouth of a 150 year old person:
Me: How are you grandpa?
Grandpa: Huh, you'll have to speak up, I just lost 12 kilos.
Me: HOW ARE YOU?
Grandpa: Don't you be yelling at me, in my day young people respected the elderly. My pants also stayed up back then also.
They had the energy for the fruit flies complex courtship ritual and could lay up to 2,000 eggs in their lifetime, compared with about 1,300 eggs normally, she said.
Not only will the old people be skinny, they also apparently will be horny. This is ALWAYS a good sign! Due to a sickening in my bowels though I will not elaborate.
