    3.42 am and its time to sleep...series 3 of DS9 is watched onto series 4 tomorrow :D

    Hopefully I can muster some energy to get some work done tomorrow, probably going to try and get some more Role Play ideas written up :)

    Flix: Side effect of RL? :p (or is my spelling worse then I thought?)

    Revising atm, and I keep reading a drug called domperidone (antiemetic) like Dom Perignon (champagne) which is odd because I've never tried nor even seen that drink. It's rather irritating, but I can't seem to shake it.

    EDIT:

    *levels up in physiology geekery*

    Osteoblasts embed certain molecules (IGF-1, TGF-beta) into the bone matrix they create, so that, when osteoclasts start dissolving it, those molecules are released and reactivate the osteoblasts to make more matrix (something like "Oy, they are wrecking your bone" alarm system). Add the fact that the osteoblasts themselves activate osteoclasts via RANK (receptor activator of NF-kB) and it's just... great. :D

    Eh, nevermind me - it's dawn, the house is asleep, I'm quite likely rambling rather then babbling randomly...

    Why would you eat a snake? Snakes are awesome...therefore, you should not eat them. :nono:
    Ahhhhhhh! :eek: I hate "K" maps!!! Do not speak their name EVER AGAIN! :mommy:

    LOL! :shake:

    On some days, my family makes Limbo seem orderly.

    EDIT:
    I spoke too soon - somehow, (no idea how), I managed to jam the front door lock (it couldn't be locked at all)... Thankfully, brother hammered it back - so it sort of works now...

    haha:shake:, That is another urban myth.
    Garter snakes are just as edible as rattlesnakes, constricters & other snakes, they just are not eaten as much because typically they are smaller.

    Thats like almost everybody, if they ask, will discover they have a friend that believes that rabbits raised as pets can't be eaten.:doh:

    Of course rabbits raised as pets can be eaten, as can pigs raised as pets -- I heard Arnold made for a great feast when Green Acres finally ended.

    You can also eat cats, dogs, and horses -- it's just illegal to do so.

    MM-Hmm:yum: BBQ pork!!

    I'm pretty sure it is illegal to SERVE those animals in a restaraunt but is it actually illegal for you to fix them for yourself?

    I once decided that the only regulator that our body could ever need is NF-kB. There isn't a single thing this blasted molecule isn't involved in, including activating AND inactivating the same pathways in most cases! How the hell does it know whether to activate or inactivate them anyway? Mysteries of the universe!

    Wait, what? You can't eat horse meat in the US? How bizarre... here it's just hard to get because most people don't really like it (unless it's young, which is very hard to get), but not even remotely illegal. I guess the cowboy tradition made horsemeat taboo to eat in America? :hmm:

    I'm not sure of the reason but yes no horse meat here in the states Tal.
    If i'm not mistaken they are even trying to pass laws to keep horses from being shipped from the states if they are going to be slaughtered for food.
    Drew probably knows more about this though.

    If by talk louder you mean shout into the mic while it's 1cm away from my face, then yes I suppose I could. I'd rather just have the Boost on though. ;)
