One more way to harness the intriguing side of Mother Nature. Who-da thunk?

I like scorpions, but this seems a little strange.:screwy:

Well, I guess if it can kill people, then should beable to kill cancer.:hey:
But seriously, I am all for anything that will help bring the end to cancer or any other disease.:thumbsup:

Totally agree.
Plus, as weird as she is, what's the betting, somewhere in her arsenal, Mother Nature has a cure for everything, we just ain't found it yet. :)

Or had... at the rate at which we're destroying species (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/story/0,,1665972,00.html) we might have missed the cure. :(

As much as I am a defender of animal species and the environment in general, I can't argue that point.

Speaking of weird science, this is one of my favorites of all time. I wish my parents had the foresight to make me a "spider-man".
