Oh I've been around here this whole time. Who said anything about a low UID??

I can't think of any other potential reason you'd think I'd care about your opinion, as you haven't provided one.

You're awfully vain thinking I was aiming my comment only to you. I was just expressing my opinion.

Another example of the typical way you pedantically ignore criticism and divert to anything else. I've seen it for so long it's just become a cliché around here.

If you've actually been around here then you've seen sfcat do it again and again. If not, then you have nothing of value to say here. Sorry, I'm not impressed by a low UID.

Lithium (like almost all elements) is usually only created in a star near the very end of its life (not just supernovas but all stars).

False. Lithium, being one of the lightest elements, is made long before the end of a star's life. Iron would fit that description, not Lithium.

It is the very heaviest elements that are only created in supernova.

You know that now, since you looked it up after recently claiming that Lithium could only be made in a supernova. Go pretend to know something else somewhere else. You've been misrepresenting yourself as knowing something of value around here for too long.

Zombie Pigs First, Hibernating Soldiers Next 193

ColdWetDog writes "Wired is running a story on DARPA's effort to stave off battlefield casualties by turning injured soldiers into zombies by injecting them with a cocktail of one chemical or another (details to be announced). From the article, 'Dr. Fossum predicts that each soldier will carry a syringe into combat zones or remote areas, and medic teams will be equipped with several. A single injection will minimize metabolic needs, de-animating injured troops by shutting down brain and heart function. Once treatment can be carried out, they'll be "re-animated" and — hopefully — as good as new.' If it doesn't pan out we can at least get zombie bacon and spam."
