    Default Lab rats have it made..

    Every time we read about a new breakthrough in health it seems like it's the lab rats that get the benefits. We never hear about these things translating over for humans.

    Here's another one, but don't hold your breath.

    The War on Aging: Could buckyballs let us live to 150?

    Any high school science student could probably tell you what Buckminsterfullerine is: A molecule made up of sixty carbon atoms, bonded together in a spherical shape. The naturally occurring substance is a scientific curiosity, with potential applications ranging from cancer treatment to creating body armor. But could a teaspoon or two a day allow us to live to 150 years of age? New research into the organic compound suggests that it indeed might be a real weapon in the war against aging.

    I think if we ever get to heaven we are going to find that rats have a special place there too.

    And since God made so many of them stars must be pretty special too.

    They're killed: some benefit.

    Why do I suspect this'll soon skip lab rats & go right into "attrition?"
