    That would be a real blessing if it works out. Here's hoping for the best.

    Here's hoping PETA doesn't find out ticks were tortured for their saliva.

    This kind of stuff always amazes me. Who would ever think to do research on tick saliva?

    Oh, don't act like you were never tempted. Every guy wants to play with tick saliva at some point.

    i would guess they were doing research to test its anti-coagulant properties.

    Ok, I did, but it was just one time. It was college and I was drunk.

    They weren't tortured. They were waterboarded. Big difference.

    Scientists who know that evolution gives strange results. The people whom idiots like Rush Limbaugh laugh at. The people who fight for funding when short sighted Bill O'Reilly calls it ridiculous and says who the hell cares about tick saliva?

    Did anyone learn anything from I Am Legend? A cure for cancer will cause humans to turn into super-strong, hairless vampires. Duh.

    I learned that they can really butcher an original movie that was only semi-decent to begin with.

    Which one, Omega Man, I Am Omega, or The Last Man on Earth? The franchise has had four shitty iterations.

    Last Man had Vincent Price. It's super campy but very true to the Matheson novel. The other is a b-horror with Mark Dacascos and is thoroughly awful.

    it's ridiculous to suggest that they were just testing all sorts of random things because "evolution gives strange results". it's perfectly reasonable for them to be testing tick saliva to see if it could help with things like blood clots.
