quote:

Though some scientists state[9] that radical life extension and delaying or stopping aging are achievable, there are still no international or national programs focused on stopping aging or on radical life extension. There are political forces advocating for and against immortality. In 2012 in Russia, and then in the United States, Israel, and the Netherlands, the pro-immortality "longevity" political parties were launched. They aim to provide political support to anti-aging and radical life extension research and technologies and want to ensure the fastest possible—and at the same time, as least disruptive as possible—societal transition to radical life extension, life without aging, and ultimately, immortality. They aim to make it possible to provide access to such technologies to the majority of people alive today.[10]
According to a poll by the Levada Center, 9% of Russians want to live forever.[11]

i lived in china for a while and once we went to this cantonese place and the big deal was that they were serving squilla that day. some kind of mini lobster looking thing, or a big crayfish. it tasted pretty decent but i had never heard of a squilla so i looked it up that night and it turned out it was a mantis shrimp. mantis shrimp

- have the most complex eye in the entire animal kingdom, which has 10,000 sub facets and 16 different types of photoreceptor (humans have 2) and so can see infrared, ultraviolet, polarization of light and various colors that don't exist for humans, in a nearly 360 degree field
- incidentally its eyeball polarization filters are more efficient than anything humans have been able to manufacture, and function over a far wider bandwidth
- have claws that they can attack with so hard (10,000g acceleration) that it induces sonoluminescent cavitation in the water, causing dissolved oxygen to come out of solution in a microbubble which then collapses, generating temperatures of 7,000 degrees and a burst of light. they use this to stun nearby fish and crack aquarium glass to escape from captivity
- and then there's the damage they can cause with the razor sharp claw itself, which they have been observed swinging at passing fish, slicing them cleanly in half with one blow
- they also mate for life, which can be 20 or 30 years, and the husband and wife will take turns taking care of a clutch of eggs and defending the babies from other sea critters
- though it is a sea creature, it has been observed traveling on land by bending its body into a wheel shape and springing forwards, rolling from one tide pool to another



needless to say i felt like a real piece of poo poo for eating one of those

yeah but i have a mantis shrimp as a friend on facebook and he endorsed bobby jindal. chow down

DVDs for the U.S. market now sometimes have three forms of English subtitles: SDH subtitles; English subtitles, helpful for viewers who are Hearing and whose first language may not be English (although they are usually an exact transcript and not edited into Simple English); and closed caption data that is decoded by the end-user's closed caption decoder. Most anime releases in the U.S. only include as subtitles translations of the original material; therefore, SDH subtitles of English dubs ("dubtitles") are uncommon. [9][10]

The "Chappists" propose a revolution based not on violence or bomb-throwing, but on dressing with panache, drinking fine beverages and behaving with courtesy, especially to those from whom courtesy is not forthcoming. They have organised protests against modern art installations and bland corporations such as Gap, Starbucks, Nike and specifically Abercrombie and Fitchs presence on Savile Row[1], in addition to bland cities.[2] Contributors have included Miss Martindale and Michael "Atters" Attree.
