Yeah Rakishi is right. (literally about the stone age thing) Nearly every plant that comes out of the USA, including the thousands of tonns we simply give away all over the world is genetically altered. It saves money and allows farmers to use less pesticides and makes more produce per plant. There is a relationship between genitic altering and crossbreeding. It alters DNA. Its the same damn thing. One is done by scientists the other by the machinery of the plant. The entire world eats "frankedfood" with no ill effects. Except europe of course because you morons believe the bad science mumbo-jumbo that started this ignorant belief in Europe. Wierd how you guys are the only "seeing" the effects of genetically altered food. I smell the same crap happening again with nano-technology.

Neutrino Mass Confirmed 318

biohack writes "BBC News reports that results from the MINOS experiment have confirmed that neutrinos have mass. To look for neutrino oscillations, scientists created muon neutrinos in a particle accelerator at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab). After passing through a particle detector at Fermilab, a high intensity beam of neutrinos travelled to another particle detector 724km (450 miles) away in a disused mine in Soudan, US. The set up established that fewer particles were being detected at the Soudan site than had been sent from Fermilab, which confirmed that some neutrinos changed their flavor on the way - an effect called neutrino flavor oscillation, which requires them to have mass. 'To put it simply, if they are heavy, it means that there is a lot more mass in the Universe than we thought there was,' said Professor Jenny Thomas from University College London."
