Scientists from the University of Queensland in Australia have discovered (http://www.uq.edu.au/news/node/115345) that mantis shrimp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantis_shrimp) have an incredibly useful ability - the marine creatures are able to see a variety of cancers inside our bodies. And they've now replicated that ability in a camera that could eventually be put into a smartphone.

So if you might have anal cancer, they use the shrimp to make the final determination?

Pass, imo.

I've never shoved a mantis shrimp up in me so I'm not sure.

Who was the first person to allow science to experiment on him/her with this shrimp?

LOL. You're quite the idiot sometimes. You spend hours thinking and posting in your internet battle with Chump or xmas or whatever all that shit was. But on something potentially world changing, you spend a few seconds pondering sticking it up your ass.

I spend tens of seconds thinking of replies to xmas or Avante's threads about me.

K, in your opinion how will this discovery potentially change the world?

No. My parents smoked so much when I was young that I've always hated the smell. Traveling in the car from Texas to Florida with two smokers. And cracking the window a half inch for me. Dad would sit and smoke at the fucking dinner table. It's the single reason why I didn't experiment with pot until my 20s.

You may want to get yourself a mantis shrimp for the lungs.

According to science all life evolved from a warm soup so at one time we were all a Mantis Shrimp.

Anyone who went to public school or read a biology/science book was also.

I dunno mouse. It's pretty easy to imagine how you evolved from a simple organism.

It's called human DNA and there is nothing simple about it.

The truth is the debate was over years ago. It's just a few Darwin supporters like yourself that just can't seem to comprehend it.

first off it's not my debate to win or lose and it was science themselves that proved themselves wrong when they discovered the highly complex mathamaticle code deep in the DNA.

That was the nail in the Darwin coffin.

Second: I don't debate subjects to "win or lose" it's not a spots competition I just post the facts expose the lies and if I can educate some misguided person like yourself along the way it's all good.

I know your to stubborn and have to much pride to act knowledge defeat but at least you didn't have an immature meltdown like Brazil and resort to some outdated immature insult to express the pain you Darwin supporters must feel on a daily basis as Science learns more about life.

I disagree. I see no evolution at all.
