    They *did* say carriers which is plural. I doubt that is what they meant though.

    Lobsters as well.

    Anyhow, I seem to recall a study that indicated that animals (including humans) all pretty much got the same number of heartbeats baring illness. The theory they postulated was that small animals, like mice, have a very high heart rate where turtle hearts are much slower beating. I have not looked into this further and the theory is to my own. It was on talk radio so it was quite likely on NPR as that is what I tend to listen to. I can not speak to the validity, I am not an expert in the field. It made me "meh" when I heard it.

    That is a standard finding. It is called grandfathering and, I am not sure, I believe it is assumed to be the default unless otherwise specified. However, I have seen both grandfather and non-grandfathering clauses written into laws.

    I am reminded of a horrible joke. It is not my own and it is horrible.

    Nine out of ten people enjoy gang-rape.

    See? Horrible.

    Anyhow, no. Just no. We can not go around harvesting heads - unless the person is dead or something and we treat it like current practices for organ donating. I am pretty sure we *should not* just go around growing clones for this either. I am not sure where the line is drawn but I suspect it will be drawn before that.

    Also, keep in mind that this is some guy in China. This may not even be real. I trust no science (including medicine) coming out of China until after it has been well verified. It is not that I do not like them, it is that there is a history of fake results being disseminated.

    What if you care, already know, and just do not want to read more proselytizing? Your "tone" indicates that it probably is. I think you will find the majority care, to some extent, but most do not consider it a major concern. I *do* pay attention to it as my karma is mildly important to me. However I needn't be preached at. Today is Sunday, I did not go to church.

    This is one of the main reasons I have difficulty accepting it as a science. That does not mean that it is not a science, just that it is full of speculation and assumptions. It is trial and error with little success. It is, even worse, very immature.

    By default you are paying more than the "value" of an item. Otherwise they would not take the time to sell it. Now, value is what the person/business thinks the item is worth. Economics is not hard at the basic level. Should we jail the owner of your favorite local shop?
