SO, I was surfing the web like I always do when I'm bored and I bumped into an interesting article about SLOWING AGING. Seriously what kind of Sci-fi bullcrap is this right? WRONG. The basic idea of this reversal process involves the regeneration of mitochondria in your body's cells. Basically, by doing so, the cells stay active, preventing disease to eat away at your old dying withering body. Hence by keeping mitochondria active, cells stay active, each strand of DNA stays healthy, and you in theory, won't ever die. If you come to think about it, this is kinda like Resident Evil, which is really freaky to think about. Imagining myself becoming a zombie...man that would be a downer. Anyways, the link to the full article is as follows:

Moving on, apparently biologists have found that a solar-powered sea slug actually "stole" the genes for photosynthesis from the algae it consumes. Unfortunately for us humans, we can not ever gain the ability to steal these genes because all we do is "chew all that stuff up". There goes my dream to become the first human-bird hybrid. Oh well.
ANYWAYS, my theory on human evolution goes as follows. Slug eat slug. Slug become huge. Slug eat monkey who drown in sea. Slug get out of cold wet ocean onto warm embracing land. Slug-monkey eat chimp. Tadaaa and here we are now. Awesome huh? Are ancestors are most likely slugs.

Well no question of the day today, I'll just let you people sleep. Have a good night peeps.

Video Pick Monday 12/01/2009
Watch this dancer bust out his amazing moves. His name is Hitoride Dekirumon and you should definitely search out more of his stuff on youtube as I find the combination between his dance and music hilarious. Not only is it hilarious, it is also very well put together. Again, definitely worth the watch.
WHAT? DEATH? FEAR? 12/01/2009
Hi, and welcome to Daily Trivial News, your number one source for the most random occurrences around the globe. I am the host of the Daily Trivial News, George. Feel free to email your thoughts and complaints to bathinghippo@gmail.com. SPAM mail will be deleted and dealt with accordingly so please keep it clean.
So here are our top stories of the day (including the passed few days):
So apparently F.E.A.R 2 is causing a big uproar by sending briefcases to random people across the country, telling them to locate the nearest safe locker and opening their given locker. This is kinda creepy for two reasons. First, where the hell did they get the adresses of all these people. And two, what could be in the silver briefcase. Anyways, the answer will be revealed on December 5th, four days from now, so I am definitely looking forward to seeing what this is all about. This is a pretty ingenious ad campaign if you ask me though. Definitely intrigued by it if not completely confused.
A Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death on Black Friday as a wave of people rushed into the store. True this is a terrible thing to happen to an innocent employee, but come on. Seriously. How hard is it to stay the hell out of the way of a pack of hungry humans. They were obviously going to come in and standing right where the entrance exists was probably a very dumb thing to do on his part. Wal-Mart being the douchebag that they are, decided, "hell it's not our fault that this guy died" and are not offering any sort of compensation for the family. Fine, maybe Wal-Mart doesn't have anything involving a trample-led death in their contract with their employees, but wouldn't it be respectful on their part to provide some sort of compensation? I mean seriously just because the security is not part of the company does not mean this guy is not under their care as well.
So here's a question to all you readers. Do you think that Wal-Mart should take charge of this situation rather than finding a way out of it? E-mail responses at bathinghippo@gmail.com or post a comment here.
Till tomorrow, thank you for reading.
