Wasting Away Again In Bacteriaville
Scientists have managed to make glowing bacteria and they actually have made pretty pictures with it in petri dishes. I believe this is the future of neon lighting in really skeezy bars. Why pay for the flourescent light when you can just colorize the bacteria that’s already hanging out at your bar and use it to promote your business? It’s five o’clock somewhere you partying bacteria.
For more fun glowing creature pictures, visit National Geographic.

Do teh interwbz maek u smartz?

Pot and prozac do not do this. Nothing legal in the US does this.
Personally, I think more “drugs” should be legal, as a person should be able to do whatever they want to their body. But when it comes to something like this, where it can have major benefits for the person taking it and they don’t hurt anyone by taking it, why the hell isn’t it legal?
