Glad I'm not in the US!

oh, wait...

I'm not sure in what parallel universe you live, but in my part of europe there sure is overtime, and we are surely not getting paid for it. It's even explicit in the contracts that we do not get paid for overtime.

That was 15 years ago, kinda proving my point

That was kinda the reason its a model system for 30 years.

The news here is not the zebrafish. This has been a model system for decades. The news is the origin of the stem cells. Calling zebrafish 'transparent fish' basically means the submitter has no clue or insults the audiences intelligence.

At the time Elvis Presley died in 1977, he had 150 impersonators in the US. Now, according to calculations I spotted in a Sunday newspaper colour supplement recently, there are 85,000. Intriguingly, that means one in every 3,400 Americans is an Elvis impersonator. More disturbingly, if Elvis impersonators continue multiplying at the same rate, they will account for a third of the worldâ(TM)s population by 2019.
