Powder that stunts 'Nonsense Mutations'

PTC124 is a simple powder developed, which could be available in two years time. It supposedly treats nonsense mutations in our DNA that causes diseases such as cystic fibrosis, and muscular distrophy.

'The drug allows the body to make the lost protein.'

The mind beyond the brain

Quote from Youtube: 

"We have been brought up to believe that the mind is located inside the head. But there are good reasons for thinking that this view is too limited. Recent experimental results show that people can influence others at a distance just by looking at them, even if they look from behind and if all sensory clues are eliminated. And people's intentions can be detected by animals from miles away. The commonest kind of non-local interaction mental influence occurs in connection with telephone calls, where most people have had the experience of thinking of someone shortly before they ring. Controlled, randomized tests on telephone telepathy have given highly significant positive results. Research techniques have now been automated and experiments on telepathy are now being conducted through the internet and cell phones, enabling widespread participation. "

Super Human Black Men from Space

Well, I haven't taken a long deep drag from the crazy pipe in quite some time, so I figured sharing is caring....

This is Prophet Yahweh; and he made recent news this past week for proclaiming that starting today (September 11, 2008) to November 11, 2008 he will be summoning UFOS to be filmed for his YouTube channel (Which he calls UFO TV NEWS). He says that on his prayer signal, he will summon a UFO that will hover over the skies of Las Vegas for three days - after which, they will land and will address the world. He also stated that they are super-human black men that will be wearing golden crowns (...and probably huge golden chains and shiny jewel encrusted grills, heh.) 

I can only hope that Yahweh and his aliens are nothing like the Logonians in Star Trek: Next Generation... whom met with our race, and really only wanted our white women. hahaha.
