Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the numbers-games dept.

dptalia writes "Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have announced that they have engineered a strain of the AIDS virus that fights AIDS. This strain of AIDS works like a vaccine and improved the immune system of the test subjects. After three years on this new therapy, no side effects have been observed."

    Have you ever seen a Presidential debate?

    Nature has already done it.

  2. or Popes! by DogFacedJo · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Like the highlander, and perhaps siamese fighting fish, there can be only one Pope.

        Look to the history of the anti-popes: the poor losers in the pope-Pope debates. As fortunes (and armies) shift some popes have been deemed anti-popes after a time as pope, only to be re-pope'd after they (or a friend) regained the papacy. History has been ambivalent about certain popes - switching between pope* and anti-pope as many as six times over centuries of historical debate.

        Personally, I've always been afraid my Pope will dash himself senseless against the mirror.

        PS: I certainly wouldn't be one to criticise the Holy See's position on AIDS. Considering what they'll do to each other, I am truly terrified of the treatments for mere lay-people.

      * er - the one I am thinking about is still under serious consideration for a re-instatement. This would mean that it should be capitalized: 'switching between Pope and anti-pope'.
