I saw all of them walking forward. Oh well ^^

viruses are a different class of life, funding under the current bush admin has really limited the ability to find such cures, though they may be possible. They will also take buckets of money, genetic engineering isnt cheap. And go fuck yourself and your "just a theory" bullshit. Next time you get an infection, be sure to ask for a 1950's dose of penicillin, because evolved antibiotic resistance is "just part of an unproven theory". asshat.

I always know when your mom is coming. Her toes curl, some short rapid breaths, a moan, etc....

My mother walks like a gorilla, not all that fancy with the cat walk style.
