Happy Mothers Day
Insight into the world of Spud, a fifty something who tries to get on with life but thinks held back by wife and five kids. He needs to get a grip of the real world.

College Graduates
College Grads
A graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does it work?"
A graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How does it work?"
A graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much it cost?"
A graduate with a liberal arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"

Men may be carrying in their testicles an almost limitless supply of spare part cells for treating disease and injury, research has suggested.(Mark Henderson writes.)
Scientists in Germany have successfully isolated a new kind of stem cell from the testes of adult mice that can grow into a full range of tissue types,offering a possible alternative to embryonic stem (ES) cells for medical therapies.
If the findings are repeated in people, it could become possible to harvest the cells from testicles and grow them into specialised tissues for treating conditions such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease and paralysis.
As the cells would come from the patient's own body, they would be a precise genetic match and would not risk rejection. This source of tissue would thus remove any need for therapeutic cloning.
The study will be published next week in Nature.

Am I going mad ..I hope so
How do you make yourself attractive to the opposite sex? Easy. Get yourself a mental illness. That seems to be the suggestion of Jeremy Taylor, a former mental healthcare trust Chief executive. Writing in Health Service Journal (March 2) Taylor explains how mental illness "has, at last, become sexy"."The press tells us that people with mental illness tend to be more successful in attracting sexual partners.This has to be a breakthrough in understanding future demographics.With average fecundity, the mentally ill will produce more offspring than 'the sane'."

Longer life means more creams
Stanford, California:
The average life expectancy for people living in most industrial nations could reach 100 within 25 years, according to a Stanford University researcher. Sripad Tuljapurkar cited advances in anti-ageing technology and medicine.(AP)
Mrs Spud is on her way to Superdrug for her anti-ageing technology right at this moment..

God help us
Has Blair taken on his own crusade, send British troops around the world to force the word of our democracy on people. This 'war on terror' has killed thousands of innocent people and still does not seem near to a end.
His comments on Parkinson about God will be his judge, should he not be worried about the blood of all those innocent people on his hands.
Squirm your way out of that with lies and spin if you can.
