10  RANDOM THINGS YOU DIDNT KNOW ABOUT ME!

People who get tagged will have to post a blog telling 10 random things about themselves. Make sure to post this rule clearly! At the end of your 10 random things about yourself, you need to choose 8 people that you would like to be tagged and list their names at the bottom of the blog.  Don't forget to leave them a comment like "You're It!" or "Tagged!", with instructions to read your blog. You can't tag the person who tagged you. Since you can't tag me back, let me know when you've posted your blog so I can see your answers.

Here We Go!

1) I only collect Marvel Comics!

2) I'm a quarter-German

3) I don't drive

4) I love Chocolate Milk

5) I'm afraid of heights!

6) My wife doesn't mind my comic books

7) I'm addicted to Youtube

8) When I'm alone I sing out loud!

9) I make really good coffee!

and 10.....I'm not voting for Obama!

I am tagging: Shawna, Dafne, Instrumental Alchemy, Debroah, Louis, David, Jomes, and Mikey!

My one word i'm focusing on for 2008 is...determination.

That is all for now.

So far from what I've seen...this movie looks really awesome. I'm not a huge fan of Iron Man right now...but I can't wait to see this!!

Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A 'Gay Bomb'

(CBS 5) BERKELEY A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.

Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsquently rejected, building the so-called "Gay Bomb."

Edward Hammond, of Berkeley's Sunshine Project, had used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain a copy of the proposal from the Air Force's Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio.

As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior."

The documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon.

Wow... what will they think of next??

.. E IBOX -->.. S SF -->Scientists in Taiwan say they have bred three pigs that "glow in the dark".

They claim that while other researchers have bred partly fluorescent pigs, theirs are the only pigs in the world which are green through and through.

The pigs are transgenic, created by adding genetic material from jellyfish into a normal pig embryo.

The researchers hope the pigs will boost the island's stem cell research, as well as helping with the study of human disease. .. E SF -->

The scientists, from National Taiwan University's Department of Animal Science and Technology, say that although the pigs glow, they are otherwise no different from any others.

Taiwan is not claiming a world first. Others have bred partially fluorescent pigs before; but the researchers insist the three pigs they have produced are better.

In daylight, their eyes and skin are green-tinged

.. E IIMA -->They are the only ones that are green from the inside out. Even their heart and internal organs are green, the researchers say.

To create them, DNA from jellyfish was added to about 265 pig embryos which were implanted in eight different sows.

Four of the female pigs became pregnant and three male piglets were born three months ago.

Green generation

In daylight, the researchers say the pigs' eyes, teeth and trotters look green. Their skin has a greenish tinge.

In the dark, shine a blue light on them and they glow torch-light bright.

The scientists will use the transgenic pigs to study human disease. Because the pig's genetic material encodes a protein that shows up as green, it is easy to spot.

So if, for instance, some of its stem cells are injected into another animal, scientists can track how they develop without the need for a biopsy or invasive test.

But creating them has not been easy. Many of the altered embryos failed to develop.

The researchers say they hope the new, green pigs will mate with ordinary female pigs to create a new generation - much greater numbers of transgenic pigs for use in research.

Now that is some crazy stuff right there!!
