They are seeking funding for Phase 2 of the project: Sh*** for Brains |

oldfarthenry ![]() Nnnyyyesss - I believe this is a cunning ploy instigated by the light beer industry. |

Just hope they don't mix up your cells with some parasite's cells then implant that into your brain. This must be the origin of Brain Slugs. |

I have been told my whole life I was pissin my brain away. Now I have scientific proof. |

This could be a great result. Imagine a wee machine connected to the hampton that processed your pish as you drank and then installed shiny new brain cells into the places where the alcohol had destroyed them. Science is awesome. |

So you drink the beer, it goes up in your brain and makes you happy, but it's not allowed to stay very long so it takes its new friends the brain cells with it when you pee it out. |

So - did that only work with rats, or did they take human urine, make neurons, then inject them into rats? The article is ambiguous. |

i would rather think the zombies were going to eat my brains than this |

Carn: So you drink the beer, it goes up in your brain and makes you happy, but it's not allowed to stay very long so it takes its new friends the brain cells with it when you pee it out. Came to propose this hypothesis.. Who knew pissing away brain cells was literal . |

It does explain the Politics tab, though. |

It's a hell of a lot better than killing fetuses. Feta? Fetii ? |

Still less gross than Romans using urine for dry cleaning. Only because it meant the whole society wore urine dry cleaned garments. |

Oh don't get all pissy about it, subby. |

If I'm brain damaged and you can replace huge swaths of damaged neurons, I really won't care where they came from. |

| id10ts So, our brains signals would be transmitted via Urons? |

Proof that heavy drinkers are pissing their brains away. |

That would explain my daughter's boyfriend... actually, calling him piss for brains insults perfectly good piss... |

| trappedspirit
Exactly. They are taking a Urine cell and turning it into a brain cell. That's what is going on there. |

That's some whiz-bang science. |

Scienticians are just working on the "shiat-for-brains" hypothesis |

The lead researcher (i.e. last author): Stem-cell biologist Duanqing Pei is named "Pei." I'm seriously the first to mention this?? |

Wait... if pee contains cells then those cells could be infected with a virus, right? Then why does everyone seem to say that urine is sterile? |

Looks like Costner was onto something in Waterworld... |

Since 'pei' is pronounced 'pay', I'm surprised anyone mentioned it. I think Laz is making a comment about the commercialization of science. As in "We just figured out how to turn piss into brains now we're gonna git Pei(d)" |
