Artificial Flesh

Cells from infant foreskins, used to grow human skin in vats of bovine collagen. About a month too early for an April Fool’s joke… so it must be true. Says a sales rep for the Canton, Massachusetts company, Organogenesis:

“People think I’m joking when I say we grow human skin, until I whip out a dish
of it from my briefcase,

“Skin’s a fun tissue to work with.”

Attack of The Bizarre E-mail

Somebody sent me this a couple of months ago, and I’ve been loath to delete it. It’s verbatim, but I’ve tidied up the formatting a bit :-) Utterly bizarre: somebody sending e-mail to me to ask permission to send me e-mail.

Note that this crime against manners, spelling, grammar, punctuation and intelligence was perpetrated with the help of some product called Extractor Pro Bulk E-Mail Software. I want to know where I can get hold of the Amateur version.
