7303 – ORBITAL MIND CONTROL LASERS !!

http://www.cell.com/content/article/fulltext?uid=PIIS0092867405001157

In a story in the current issue of Cell, scientists report that they can control fruit-flies remotely — by shooting lasers at their neurons. Cool enough, but then they tore the heads off a few flies, and found they were still able to stimulate the remaining neurons — and even induce them to fly. That’s right: Remote-controlled headless zombie flies. Do not miss the video of the headless flies in action, which looks like a freaky outtake from The Ring.

7301 – Friddy-frid.

Didn’t make it to the Tiki party last night, but next week is a distinct possibility. I’m in tonight, too – EN has a guest over so I’m taking call, and breaking in Oona at the same time.


It was very difficult leaving the bed this morning. Ol’ Newtie was especially snugglesome, and the hen house doesn’t seem so appealing as hiding under the covers.


Preemptive for Mother’s Day – Mr. T Singing “Mother – Treat her right” in shorts that really should be longer.

speaking of videos – 622 music videos. Beastie boys is a guilty pleasure. Body Movin’ and Intergalactic? Please. I’m going to be saying “Another Dimension” over and over again all morning, now.

Also… that freaky America video Sammy showed me earlier.. has been remixed into something else. [edit – ack, has it been /.’ed?]


Hey, I might get to take Danny with me on Saturday to the club. 2 more cards towards the goal.


I’m for everyone of us… Stand for everyone of us, I save with a mighty hand, Every man, every woman Every child…. I’m a mighty Flash…

Moment of Lyric:

And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die
