Mouse/Cylon hybrid discovered in North Carolina12 o'clock, May 10, 2006Okay, that’s not what they say, but the inference is clear to anyone who’s watched Battlestar Galactica season two. Three years ago, Wake Forest researchers discovered a mouse that could not get cancer no matter how hard they tried to give it the disease. Now, they said white blood cells from that mouse's descendants were injected into ordinary mice with cancer and their disease was completely wiped out. (Via Jeremy. I have to confess to a certain chagrin at seeing what I thought was the show’s single hokiest bit of technobabble replicated in the lab. . . .) |

Apparently a grizzly/polar bear hybrid in the Canadian arctic has just been shot by an american hunter. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4766217.stm |
I didn't make the connection yesterday. Heh. That's really funny. I'm sure Ron Moore is doing a little dance right now.
