Stem cell hamburger

SCIENTISTS are on the verge of growing artificial meat in laboratories without the need for animal slaughter, according to a report cited today by The Herald Sun -- with one expert predicting a stem cell sausage might be just six months away.

Is this another small step toward.......soylent green?  

I think I will stick to the sweet mysteries of life  from my butcher 

If this is what we will be eating in the future I am glad that ive reached the winter of my life.Wobbly

There was a report on the Box complaining about a herd of Fallow deer.  The report was over when the quick photographer caught the comment of a well-dressed middle-aged woman onlooker, who leaned to the camera to say "I think that venison is so tasty".  She was right, for those were plump young deer.

I grinned and thought good for you madam, like you I believe that prime Aussie venison rightly belongs to the people and should grace the family dinner table as game rather than lay rotting in the fields, poisoned by 1080 carrots dropped from helicopters hired by environment departments.

It was a reminder that it is only the vegetarian and animal liberation lobby (so often the same professional protesters) that is responsible for the wasteful research to produce 'meat' in a test tube and these extremists will eventually reject that too because of its animal origin.  Meanwhile the same professional protesters do not object to animals like deer being declared as pests by environment departments and sentenced to helicopter culls and awful lingering deaths from Aussie 1080 poison.  The reasonable, practical and very cheap alternative is control through licensed and regulated conservation hunting which many Australians and migrants share as traditions.  Venison sausage anyone?

Ok I know I am thick, but wheni read these posts in emailswhich I can't seem to stop coming there a    &nbsp   in places in the email ,,but it is not there when I read them here WHat does it mean?anyone knoW??

Only when you grow into a frog will you be told the secret.

Shucks, here is a stab at it:

- Easy edit and spell check could help.

- Default for email that is 'opt in' not 'opt out' would be a blessing, solving your problem. 

- However you do remove the tick for emails, yes?  Or is that 'forget to do'?

I have also questioned this nbsp garbage Taddy somewhere else and have been hoping someone can fill me in.I have tried several times to stop the emails but nothing seems to work grrrrrrrrrr wobbly

Below is a copy andPaste of an email as it appears in my email with this &nbspn   3 times in one email never seen this before and only from this site  What the duece is it 

 

 

Back in the days when the throat and heaps of back and shoulders were seen as very sexy - by Hollywood anyhow.  Must have been lots of work for physiotherapists from all of those romantic scenes where the woman's head was tilted so far back for snogging and the hairpin back bend for the completion of the kiss.  Contortionists.  The days of throat cam and back cam.

Tadpole,

That is no mystery. It is a post from another thread, which in fact you have contributed to and you are quoting here.  It is from the "When the mind is willing" thread.  The system could allow a deleted post to be emailed.

I asked in a post above in this thread whether you remove the tick in the emal box after posting to a thread if you don't want emails.  It seems that would stop posts you don't want to receive and it works for me.  You must scroll to the bottom of the thread to do it.  I think that Deanna may have mentioned it before.

Just asking again, do you do that?

&nbsp is a space in html language.

It should not show in the email

Gee I put in an ampersand and it actually worked.

Tadpole,

It might help to keep the queries and compliants about the operation of the site to the "Your Meeting PLace" thread (under Hot Topics) if you want admin to see them.  Admin wouldn't have the time to read all threads.

Opps sorry wrote the last email about &nbsp before I got to these ..Tups
