I'm so bored....and alone.....*alone in the street, cold* *freezes like a Popsicle!*
TOKYO (AFP) - Japanese researchers have succeeded in producing see-through frogs, letting them observe organs, blood vessels and eggs under the skin without performing dissections. ADVERTISEMENT "You can see through the skin how organs grow, how cancer starts and develops," said the lead researcher Masayuki Sumida, professor at the Institute for Amphibian Biology of state-run Hiroshima University. "You can watch organs of the same frog over its entire life as you don't have to dissect it. The researcher can also observe how toxins affect bones, livers and other organs at lower costs," he told AFP. Dissections have become increasingly controversial in much of the world, particularly in schools where animal rights activists have pressed for humane alternatives such as using computer simulations. Sumida said his team, which announced the research last week at an academic conference, had created the first transparent four-legged creature, although some small fish are also see-through. The researchers produced the creature from rare mutants of the Japanese brown frog, or Rena japonica, whose backs are usually ochre or brown. Two kinds of recessive genes have been known to cause the frog to be pale. Sumida's team crossed two frogs with recessive genes through artificial insemination and the offspring looked normal due to the presence of more powerful genes. But crossing the offspring led to a frog whose skin is transparent from the tadpole stage. "You can see dramatic changes of organs when tadpoles mutate into frogs," said Sumida, whose team is seeking a patent. Such frogs could theoretically exist in the wild but it is "virtually impossible" they would naturally inherit so many recessive genes, Sumida said. The transparent frogs can also reproduce, with their offspring inheriting their parents' traits, but their grandchildren die shortly after birth. "As they have two sets of recessive genes, something wrong must kick in and kill them," Sumida said. While the researchers relied on artificial insemination, they said that genetic engineering could also produce transparent and even illuminating frogs. Sumida said researchers could also inject into the transparent frogs an illuminating protein attached to a gene, which would light up the gene once it manifests -- for example, showing at what stage cancer starts. Sumida said it would be unrealistic to apply the same method to mammals such as mice as their skin structure is different. (Just think if scientist were to make a potion for them to see us like that, then make an antidote and make it seems like it never happened?)
I was checking at a psp but it didn't show me prices so how much is the core pack now? and the value pack? I'm planning on getting one on my birthday next year or I might buy one once I earn some money
Besides Keyblades What else would like to have? I would like to have Sora's crown necklace
I'm at the temple where Yuna gets Shiva So here's what I can do so far: Party: Yuna Tidus Auron We talk to Seymour so Yuna and tidus gets additional stats Yuna casts all of the Esunas possible Then I use Auron's ability "threat" so the people guarding Seymour freezes then I use tidus to kill the guard, take me about 2 turns per each member to kill one guard Yuna keeps casting Esuna to party members After guards are gone, I summon lulu and we do a lot of magic against seymour and then he summons anima then I summon shiva which reduces anima's health by 75% and then I just kill him with my party After that, seymour gets a lot stronger with the multi-spells that can kill my character in one shot, that's where I lose So here's the catch...I can't go back to train and I need a better strategy so... HELP!!!!
:lol2: to the :spam2: zone!!!
It's simple because it is.... Well...this is for people who just want simple yet, with style just fill this in and let's get started!! Username: Type of graphic (avatar, sig, etc.): pic url: additional stuff: note: I can't do what others do so don't expect big from my stuff

DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M BACK!!!!! .......... ..................:sideways: <_< NOW WHAT? EDIT: whys my username red?
so....you guys won't see me for while, don't know when, but.... hope I see you guys soon!!!!!!! *WAVES BYE*
What happened since my disappearance? *goes blame internet connection*
Dumb Sephiroth
http://leekspin.com/ IT'S ANNOYING ADDICTIVE FUN SEE IF HOW MANY WINDOW CAN YOU OPEN WITHOUT CRACKING, With the speakers on SO, it's a contest of pure randomness 20's enough for me
Yeah, i'm going somewhere, not mentioning but you won't see for at least 4 days..
Haven't changed your Username ever since you joined KHV? I DIDN'T!!!!!
PARTY TIME!!!!!!!!!

I like this anime series I used to watch it in an Asian channel back in the philippines It's about a 13 year old boy named Mao whose mother was a very famous chef in all of China, now that she has passed away, Mao follows her mothers footsteps.
