MIT engineers anti-cancer smart bomb
by seattleniceguy inmit has produced a nano-drug which can target tumor cells, be absorbed by them, then cut off their blood supply and deliver chemo-therapy, while leaving healthy cells unscathed.
this looks very promising.
lab tests on mice increased life expectancy by over 100% compared to current best known treatment.

Witnesses sit next to me at the theater last night
by seattleniceguy inhad a bizzare experience last night.
i went to see the movie mr. and mrs. smith (which, by the way, was pretty decent).
my girlfriend and i showed up about 20 minutes before the show started, so we picked out some seats and then each went to the restroom in turn while the other watched the seats.

Consolidated Guerilla Apostasy Tactics for 2005 District Conventions
by seattleniceguy inwe've had several very interesting threads going on about how those of us who are still on the inside can work to open the eyes of the witnesses at the district conventions this summer.
since people have been making scattered suggestions on scattered threads, i thought we should start a consolidated thread here that lays all the options out on the table for those that want to be a part of it.
here are the ideas that have stood out in my mind so far (please add any that i have missed): .

Fly 2.4 billion light years in 2 minutes
by seattleniceguy inresearchers at the max planck institute have wrapped up the largest supercomputer simulation ever to study the growth of galaxies and black holes.
using 25 terabytes of data, and crunching it for a month, they have produced, among other things, a computer animation that allows you to fly 2.4 billion light years through the universe in about two minutes.. the bright spots in the movies are galaxies.
seeing this movie makes it seem highly dubious that we are the only life in the universe.. the article contains links to three movies.

New single-molecule transistors work at room temperature
by seattleniceguy injust when you thought the ipod was pretty cool, we may soon have devices using one-molecule-wide transistors.
researchers at the national institute for nanotechnology have demonstrated the ability to switch the charge on a single molecule to impede or allow current flow in surrounding molecules.
flipping the gate requires one electron, as opposed to the one million required in current technology.

Why do you post here?
by seattleniceguy infor me, it's mainly the money and the women, i suppose.. no, but seriously, i was thinking the other day about why i post here.
in september it will be two years since i left the organization.
i don't much care for doctrinal debates anymore, and i usually pass on threads that are concerned with he-said-she-said kind of stuff inside the organization.

JW love in action: JWs fail to inform me when roommate of two years dies
by seattleniceguy inwhen i was a witness, i shared a house with an elder/pioneer named herb.
herb was in his eighties, and he had paid off his two-bedroom house long ago, so he would offer the extra bedroom to local brothers.
it was a good deal, and herb got some company at the house, so everyone benefited.. for being in his eighties, herb was exceptionally fit.
