Obi-Wan Kenobi, the mastermind of some of the most devastating attacks on the Galactic Empire and the most hunted man in the galaxy, was killed in a firefight with Imperial forces near Alderaan, Darth Vader announced on Sunday.
If the pharma industry really is holding this back because they can't patent it; surely that counts as one of the biggest crimes against humanity in history...

i remember a story about a possible remedy for cancer, can't remember exactly, was a youtube video on how evolution is used in pharmacy
went like this: after doing experiments, scientists found that a rare type of tree had the ability to halt the growth of cancer. however, because there wasn't enough of the trees,
chopping them down, would only save a few hundreds of thousands of people.
after that, the tree would be gone, and people would continue getting cancer and die.
instead, scientists went down the phylogenic tree to find a related species to this tree that might contain the same drug. they found it, and they also found out that this tree was fairly abundant as well. don't remember the rest of the story. they made pills or some shit.

Watch out for people dookie in the houses.
AWesome
nominated for WTF of the year.
That is pretty awesome, and I'm not much of a Gears fan anymore. I am however, a Chris Perna fan.
And why do I kill myself by reading the comments? God what pricks...

Bloody hell, at least now we know where the beefed up look comes from...
Nah, Chris Perna rocks mah socks!

My vote = FAKE
The ball glitches between the pitch and the striking of the ball. Its quite visible at the start of the slow mo bit.
Plus the actings poor.
Viral Ad or something.
Some piano awesomeness

Most mind blowing photo i've seen in a long time (the background is a large sand dune with foliage):
Yep, its fake. And at first, I read it as "Eva Longoria saves reporter with bare hand catch."
Right, cause drug companies DO have our best interests at heart, I forgot. Sorry.

No, because "We can probably cure some cancers" is turned into "CANCER CURED, COMPANIES ARE EVIL"

Although Ravenslayer's link put it excellently as well.
And to balance out the serious, something that's kept me giggling all day. (maybe repost?)
That is so funny!
