So what are you saying, you married him for his looks?You are very correct about diabetes, when my blood sugar level gets too high or too low, I can't think any better than a 2 year old. (Now just wait for the jokes to start flowing.)

It's a great story ... But I'd have to call that one highly unlikely, given that the chip is generally way to busy planning its own (date based expiration/service "life") obsolence to care what you're trying to push through it.-Stoic Joker (November 29, 2012, 06:50 AM)

And then there's people like me that gets caught in Okinawa with a clip of high powered rifle rounds with tracers in my duffle-bag because my dumb-ass ex-wife put them in there.

That chip in the ink cartridges that they tell you is to monitor levels actually monitors all connected computers, (including USB).
Then when you throw out or recycle the old cartridge, the government collects the information stored on that chip.-4wd (November 28, 2012, 07:25 PM)

Hello Folks!
How about an idea to pioneer for the 'Animated' screenshots?
Consumers, & in general Public are going more aggrieved day by day from their respective Governments & Corporates....!
Writing an email that incorporates an 'Animated' sceenshot(like a Booo..with an animated Thumbs Down) would help transverse the very expression, & hence an Outcome!
Also, along with the regular 'Clipart Objects', do introduce an 'Emoticon section' as well for yours Screenshot Captor.-saurabhdua (November 28, 2012, 06:30 AM)

Interestingly enough, "transformation" happens with organisms engineered to produce the BT toxin (GMOs), and they infect the flora in your stomach, cause YOU to produce the BT toxin thereafter. So, after eating Monsatan's corn, you are effectively slowly killing yourself.-Renegade (November 26, 2012, 09:53 PM)
do you have any more info or reference for that?
(not hassling you for links :p just curious)-tomos (November 27, 2012, 07:04 AM)
I'm sure you can find more out there. ...
These shocking results raise the frightening possibility that eating Bt corn might actually turn your intestinal flora into a sort of "living pesticide factory"… essentially manufacturing Bt-toxin from within your digestive system on a continuing basis.
If this hypothesis is correct, is it then also possible that the Bt-toxin might damage the integrity of your digestive tract in the same way it damages insects? Remember, the toxin actually ruptures the stomach of insects, causing them to die. The biotech industry has insisted that the Bt-toxin doesn't bind or interact with the intestinal walls of mammals (which would include humans). But again, there are peer-reviewed published research showing that Bt-toxin does bind with mouse small intestines and with intestinal tissue from rhesus monkeys.
Bt-Toxin Linked to Allergies, Auto-Immune Disease, and More
If Bt genes are indeed capable of colonizing the bacteria living in the human digestive tract, scientists believe it could reasonably result in:
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Autoimmune diseases
- Food allergies
- Childhood learning disorders
And lo and behold, all of these health problems are indeed on the rise… The discovery of Bt-toxin in human blood is not proof positive of this link, but it certainly raises a warning flag. And there's plenty of other evidence showing that the Bt-toxin produced in GM corn and cotton plants is toxic to humans and mammals and triggers immune system responses. For example, in government-sponsored research in Italy , mice fed Monsanto's Bt corn showed a wide range of immune responses, such as:
Elevated IgE and IgG antibodies, which are typically associated with allergies and infections
An increase in cytokines, which are associated with allergic and inflammatory responses. The specific cytokines (interleukins) that were found to be elevated are also higher in humans who suffer from a wide range of disorders, from arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, to MS and cancer
Elevated T cells (gamma delta), which are increased in people with asthma, and in children with food allergies, juvenile arthritis, and connective tissue diseases.
Rats fed another of Monsanto's Bt corn varieties called MON 863, also experienced an activation of their immune systems, showing higher numbers of basophils, lymphocytes, and white blood cells. These can indicate possible allergies, infections, toxins, and various disease states including cancer. There were also signs of liver- and kidney toxicity.
...
When the results of the study emerged, the funding from the pro-GMO UK government mysteriously dried up, so they were not able to see if the same type of gene transfer happens with Bt genes from, say, corn chips. If it does, it means that eating Bt corn might turn our intestinal flora into living pesticide factories—continually manufacturing Bt-toxin from within our digestive systems.
I don't know of a test that can confirm that this is happening, but the Canada study may be showing the results—where Bt-toxins are found in the blood of a very high percentage of people.
It seems we're lucky that the following sort of situation is not extremely common (yet?):

About using vinegar and baking soda for a drain cleaner. That old formula is pretty much an old wives tale. The only thing those two together do is make a bunch of fizz. It don't create any kind of acid to eat away the crap found in drains. Don't believe me, put some baking soda in your hand, then pour on some vinegar and watch the fizz show. No burned hand, just a bunch of fizzing..... It does feel funny fizzing in your hand though.-Tinman57 (November 26, 2012, 08:20 PM)
