University of Florida News"GAINESVILLE, Fla. --- A University of Florida scientist has grown a living “brain” that can fly a simulated plane, giving scientists a novel way to observe how brain cells function as a network. The “brain” -- a collection of 25,000 living neurons, or nerve cells, taken from a rat’s brain and cultured inside a glass dish -- gives scientists a unique real-time window into the brain at the cellular level. By watching the brain cells interact, scientists hope to understand what causes neural disorders such as epilepsy and to determine noninvasive ways to intervene." woah!

Glad to see that idiodic short-sighted seperatism is not limited to Alberta...

More like the "I'm federalist as long as the country votes as I wish" espoused by (BC resident) Springer. I have a feeling though, that this Texas separatism has even less widespread appeal than Alberta separatism. I found "You won't have any TV as the Space Center in Houston will cut off your communications" to be particularly funny. Surely they of all people would understand that satellites are a mere convenience and Americans could always wear tinfoil hats instead.
