They cloned it from Kepler's blood taken from a mosquito fossilized in amber, obviously. DNA on a chip. Makes perfect sense. Kepler's laws of planetary motion probably add a significant boost to pipeline performance. And what better way to integrate that functionality than by cloning Kepler himself, and regrowing his brain on a chip! I was wondering how long it would take to grow a brain on a chip, after they successfully created a gut on a chip

In Italy:

Following France and Germany, last year the Italian Agriculture Ministry suspended the use of a class of pesticides, nicotine-based neonicotinoids, as a "precautionary measure." The compelling results - restored bee populations - prompted the government to uphold the ban. Yesterday, copies of the film 'Nicotine Bees' were delivered to the US Congress explaining the pesticide's connection to Colony Collapse Disorder. Despite the evidence, why does CCD remain a 'mystery' in the US?

Anybody who feels comfortable providing extremely intrusive access to personal information will likely not even think twice about providing strangers access to company confidential data, and should not be hired.

Anybody who feels uncomfortable providing extremely intrusive access to personal information, but dumb will likely not even think twice about spamming the fuck out of Facebook with a shit load of useless sock puppet profiles that lead nowhere.
