Anthony Youn says that smoking after a breast lift can make y our nipples fall off. This sound like humor, but he says he’s seen in happen. It has something to do with blood flow restrictions from carbon monoxide from the smokes. He adds an anecdote from his book, “In Stitches”. Yet imagine if ones nipple did fall off. A nipple slip ala Janet Jackson. No harm, no foul. Babies might not like it, but that’s the best outlook possible. Be careful of the smoke. (CNN – Anthony Youn)

The scientists got enough bone marrow from a Mammoth part found preserved in permafrost. They intend to insert the cell into an elephant egg and see what happens from there. It sounds like great science, but imagine the problems. A) You have just created a mammoth. This beast might kill everything in it’s path one day. This can’t lead to anything good. B) Imagine the elephant who’s giving birth to a mammoth. Elephants are already smart with great memories. The mother elephant will be pissed off. It’s like a human giving birth to an ape thanks to modern science. Not cool and it sounds like it can’t lead to much good in the end except for us to see a pseudo real mammoth. (Google – mammoth)
