Apparently the recent news about making mice immortal isn't new:
They've already done this with dolphins. It involves feeding them seagulls. Unfortunately, the lead scientist was arrested when he stepped across a lion sleeping in the doorway to the lab, after catching a few seagulls.
The charge: transporting gulls across a staid lion for immortal porpoises.

Brief thought
Nov. 29th, 2010 04:40 pmI wonder if falling house prices are bad for the economy in a way I haven't heard mentioned - because they put people off from moving somewhere for a new job, because they can't sell their property without losing money.
Free-flowing workers are good for an economy, surely having the better-off ones stuck in one place must be bad for it.

(I tried the book, got about 50 pages in, and decided that there were going to be an awful lot of unpleasant people, connected in complicated ways, doing morally dubious things, and my brain wasn't going to be able to hold it all together well enough to actually enjoy it.)
