We are really so different that peace is impossible between us?

Watch upcoming D-9. District 9 is a different kind of Alien movie. Where it was no longer about how human fought against invading Alien, and miraculously gained final victory. It is instead, about Alien seeking refuge among us, and how it ended.

World first synthetic Human sperm. Next, world first synthetic baby from it.

Professor Karim Nayernia and his team at New castle may have a break through. To grow human sperm from embryonic stem cells alone. The Synthetic sperm swims with head and tail, with some of the biological characteristics of real sperm. However, a change in the law would require, because the use of such in-vitro derived (IVD) sperm for reproduction was banned in Britain by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act last year.

From Times Online,

"Professor Nayernia said the IVD sperm have key traits of real sperm, including a haploid nucleus that has 23 chromosomes, instead of the 46 found in non-reproductive cells. “These cells are haploid, they have tails and a head, and they swim,” he said. “The only cells in the body that are like that are sperm.”"

This solved a millennium question of whether the chicken or the egg exist first. But science would only be possible if there is already a law exist in the nature.

The Ninety-Nine, Super Hereos created based on Islamic Culture and Religion

Ok. I am a bit late on this. THE-99 was features in almost all the MSM before I got to know. According to Wikipedia, Although Dr. Naif Al-Mutawa, founder and CEO of Teshkeel Media Group, created it based on Islamic concept, but it aims to promote universal virtue. Each heroes character in it has no Religion affiliations. The concept of The 99 is based on the 99 attributes of Allah.

In year 2011, an average person can afford to pay 200K for space travel

The world first spaceport will be build in New Mexico, quote from Coolest Gadget,

"So it should be two years before the average person will be able to fly into space as a tourist. By “average person”, I mean anyone who has $200,000 to spare. Yeah, I didn’t think this whole tourist space travel thing would be cheap, either."

How to make 200USD in cash before I leave this world? That is the question.

Koibian crying robot, if only happiness can be programme

If one day, a machine can feel as human do, and Darwin evolution is proven to be true, then is there a point for human to carry on living? Every culture and philosophy would be meaningless because they don't carry any eternal value. Human need only to live upon their own animal instinct and material desire. Truly the end of mankind, that is.

Descendants of Mongolian

A friend of mine asked me a old question (I am really interested in) on FaceBook, which sparks me to dig the web again. These are some of mine findings.

A Mongolian spot/mark(蒙古斑), which appears on many baby buttock during birth, few carry it till grown up, most will not have it when or around five. The interesting part I read is in Wikipedia. It says,

"Mongolian spots are most prevalent among Mongols, Turks, and other Asian groups, such as the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans. Nearly all East Asian infants are born with one or more Mongolian spots. It is also common if only one of the parents is East Asian. Among East African infants it is found at rates between 90-95% and 85-90% of Native American infants."

Dr Greene said on his site,

"Mongolian spots are nothing more than dense collections of melanocytes, the skin cells which contain melanin, the normal pigment of the skin. When the melanocytes are close to the surface, they look deep brown."

If your family carries at least one Asian Heritage, most likely you have it, or seen it. If this means you carry the blood of Mongolian, I think 85% of the world came from a same blood.

This Genetic blue mark, also has some spiritual/religious legend. On Media Thinker's 2003 post,

"The Mongols say they are the mark left by the spirit who slaps the baby to life. Chinese believe that if you are reluctant to be reincarnated, the King of Hell prods and kicks you until you agree to go. The more spots, the more reluctant you were to be reborn."

Intriguing?

If you would like to find out more, I recommend a visit to Alive in Kyoto's post - Mongolian Blue Spot. More than a dozen comment there. Commenter barb raise an interesting question there:

"Does anyone know if there is biblical side to the mongolian spot?"

Tell me here if you find out more..
