"The gene, known as stathmin or oncoprotein 18, is highly concentrated in the amygdala, a region of the brain associated with fear and anxiety, the researchers report in the latest issue of the journal Cell."

I wonder if they end up discovering the 'uncoprotein'??
I'm pretty sure a few people i know have that one! :p

I hope they eliminate the "f**kwit" gene. We don't need them.:D

As much as I giggled at Trevallyn Biker Dude's Lego man post, I couldn't help be worried about the fact that in the non-MS Paint edited rest of the pic the Lego guards were quite clearly wearing full-on fascist uniforms and holding little lego rifles.

You certainly didn't get that when I was a kid!

Anyway, I just want to know:

Were they bought as somesort of South American Secret Police lego bumper pack?

and

Do the other accessories include bull clips, car batteries amd black PVC pointed hoods?
