Scientists Unlock Reasons Cancer Spreads

* * Beatles-Beatles writes "Instead of a cell just breaking off from a tumor and traveling through the bloodstream to another organ where it forms a secondary tumour, or metastasis, researchers in the United States have shown that the cancer sends out envoys to prepare the new site."

    From the post:
    "researchers in the United States have shown.."

    From TFA:
    "LONDON - Scientists have discovered.."

    Is this just national pride gone mad, stealing other nations' work? Or is this just another case of there being 42 different "london"s or "oxford"s in the USA? Start inventing some names of your own!

    Beatles-Beatles is the solid, undeniable, irrefutable proof that the Slashdot editor system is broken. While great submissions are tossed daily, Beatles-Beatles is allowed to continue to abuse his articles on Slashdot to increase his Google PageRank.

    Uhm... It's not his article, is it? And I actually found it pretty interesting, so how's that for 'abuse'? Wouldn't have read this article if it wasn't posted here so what's the real problem, apart from the link behind his username??

    Right, because finding out how cancer spreads is not important or anything... now if we found out that cancer somehow used a Microsoft product to spread its way through the body... THAT would be a story!

    Spend 300 fucking billion dollars on it, like you do on bombing Iraqi families, and you'll damn sure cure 90% of all cancers.

    That's a shame. A 22 year old referring to anyone as a "little shit" probably isn't worth saving. I guess that's why they spent more money on developing Viagra, eh?
