Curing Cancer? I don't think so.

Ahh, first post on Christmas day... I hear someone moving downstairs but I'm not going to look into it. It might be Santa.

I love this: A 1.2-Megaton Anti-Cancer Missile was unveiled recently and has been proven effective in destroying 100% of all cancer cells within a 35 mile radius. It has been tested vigorously and is guaranteed to completely and effectively wipe out cancer cells. Oh, and almost forgot to mention this little tidbit: "The only side-effects is that it also incinerates all life within a 35 mile radius." This actually caught my attention because, like so many other Americans recently, I flocked to the movie theaters recently to see a screening of "I am Legend," a movie about a dystopian future where a cancer "cure" created by bioengineering a virus mutated and became some sort of evil vampire/zombie creating virus that infects 99% of humans and turns a good bit of them into "nightwalkers," nightmarish things that hate sunlight and have some sort of mindset to kill anything they see that happens to move and isn't another one of them. *gasp* Sorry for the long sentence, but I just had to make the point that this movie isn't really anything new, its just the old being looked at from a different perspective (in this case, Will Smith's). The movie gets interesting when you find out that Will Smith, or should I say, "Robert Neville," is somehow a Colonel in the army and some sort of bioengineer at the same time. Of course, he does have his trusty dog Sam to keep him company in the otherwise desolate New York City where the only semblance of life are manikins which Robert enjoys talking to. The movie wasn't terrible, however: Set design was amazing (they somehow managed to clear out large sections of Manhattan and fill them with cars), and you actually become attached to the dog. It also is jacked up on suspense, terror, and zombie vampires, if you're into that sort of thing. Regardless, its worth seeing if you have spare time (you better be done with Christmas shopping by now). And no I'm not telling you the ending.
