Some guys identify a second gene associated with life extension effects of calorie restriction. This doesn't mean much except that they will probably be able to duplicate the effect without starving people.
I can't wait to see what happens when all this stuff is fully decoded. I predict: 1) they WILL solve aging completely within most of our lifetimes, 2) there will be an attempt to limit the distribution in order to keep the world's population down, and 3) we will see the bloodiest wars ever as a direct or indirect result (I'm guessing direct).
Not to be negative or anything.

Words can change the way things smell.
Apparently the mere suggestion of a word can change the connotation of smells from "unpleasant" to "pleasant". This suggests that smells are basically agnostic and that we're trained to recognize whether they're "good" or "bad".
No word on whether subliminal suggestions can make a pussy smell good. All you girls could try an experiment, though. Next time he's down there say stuff like "buy a Mustang GT" or "you can have the whole garage for a workshop and I'll park the car in the driveway". If it leads to more pussy eating, you might just find that you don't mind walking through the snow to get to the car.

Study: Training improves attention in kids.
A new study from the University of Oregon shows that a short training course can improve the attention skills of little kids.
It's kind of like some parents have been saying for years: "Don't drug our kids, teach them."
Don't forget to join the campaign to change school district terminology from "Little Johnny appears to have improved attention on the medication," to "Little Johnny displays behavior similar to the focus-trance of a meth addict".

More naked PETA girls.
As idiotic as PETA is, you just gotta love their campaign of getting naked in public.

Netherlands gets things way, way wrong.
Despite their shining party town Amsterdam, the Dutch have something seriously wrong with their heads.

Fwd: New avenues to exploit animals: Cows Generate Electricity!
In a crushing blow to PETA, researcher generates electricity from cows.
Ok, I admit to being misleading here, it's bacteria from cow shit that's due to be exploited. Perhaps they'll rename themselves "SHITA".

Plant Superiority
As has been suggested before, I hold plants in higher regard than most humans. I offer proof: they can repair their own sunburns.
When added to the existence of beer (made from plants of course), the evidence is compelling.

Advances in mindwipe technology: memory-related drug cravings.
Basic science on the nature of memory and brain reward mechanisms provide for important clues on how to design the perfect mindwipe procedure for our nation's criminals. Soon, we'll be able to change them all into the people we'd have them be and they'll like it!
These guys will be invited to join my administration after the revolution.
Treatment to block memory-related drug cravings
[...] a study led by John F. Marshall, a researcher in UCI's Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, shows that memory for places associated with cocaine use can be strikingly altered by inactivating a specific protein called ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) in the brains of animals. [...]

telecrapper
No, not remote crapping, but an answering machine that intercepts telemarketers and holds virtual conversations with them.
Although this is a great idea, I have a feeling that it will escalate the war of technology and we'll soon face computerized telemarketers that can't be distinguished from human ones. This puts the entire telemarketer job market at risk! We need a LAW or SOMETHING!
Seriously, though, I predict that we really don't need spam on our telephone system.
From Make:
"Are you tired of answering the phone only to find a telemarketer on the other end and wish you could make them as angry as you feel? Now you can build your own answering system that carries on a virtual conversation with the telemarketer and drives them nuts. The Telecrapper 2000 (TC2K) is a computerized system designed to both intercept incoming Telemarketing calls on the first ring, and then carry on a virtual conversation with the telemarketer. The site also features phone calls the device has carried out with telemarketers. Thanks Jay! Link. "
