Yeah, I heard that shit about cancer on the news a few days ago. They're like "CURE FOR CANCER???" and I'm like "HOLY SHIT" and then some dude with a heavy accent in a lab coat shows how they put a white powder (looks like crack) in a rat's water bottle in it's cage. And I'm like "that's IT? That's all there is to it???" If this shit works out, it will be the most anti-climactic fuckin cure in the history of the world. How many countless millions of people died of cancer... and here it turns out if we just put a little sprinkle of powder in their water we'd be gold. I mean, both my grandfathers died of cancer and it's like, C'MON! Gimme something impressive. The real slap in the face is that this powder (this so-called dichloroacetate) costs "pennies" to get. Apparently it's stupid cheap. I'd like to see an AIDS cure top that. What would it have to do to top that? Like, if you eat a blade of grass your AIDS is cured? Or what?

Also, slash-b is for losers Paras, not champions. Get it straight.

rawk on guys!

that's fantastic. i've been meaning to head on over to Blackbyrd and pick up the Hills Like White Elephants album, i enjoyed the tiger-striped tape so much...

oh, and i had something to share a long time ago, but haven't gotten around to mentioning it because it was kinda strange... and i didn't know exactly how to say it...

I was listening to Daryl Richel sub in for someone who was sick on the weekend... um, two weeks ago... he was playing 'weird music that isn't bad' and out of the blue, the advert was for the HLWE and Champion City... to which, once it was done, Richel commented on how buying new music was so passe, and that old stuff was where it was at... jokingly of course. but seriously guys, ads on the radio?? this is friggin' awesome! first CJSR then the world, right? ;)

University of Alberta scientists develop possible cure for cancer. Still no cure for... oh, wait.

(Disclaimer: I am overblowing it slightly for the lame Fark reference. Nevertheless, the premise sounds good: mitochondria are vital for apoptosis (cell death) and they are malfunctioning/non-functioning in cancer. DCA (dichloroacetate) reactivates them. It remains to be seen whether it will work when administered to patients rather than in vitro, and whether effective doses will have side effects. So, no cure for cancer, yet. But an intriguing development.)
