from his own stem cells

    People do not recycle, efficaciously, scientifically, without getting all peculiar about godstuff.That very stuff invented by them to keep them from moving forward.
    Weird, people are.

  7. I, too, wondered how they are keeping him a live while it grows. I wonder how long it will take. Amazing.

  10. Dave, everytime I leave you a comment, I get an error message in my mailbox. Even when I email you directly to tell you so.

  13. That was so subtle it was very powerful. "In situ": such imagery and abstraction from that. Great.

    Apparently they have given him a "bald" pipe while they grow his stem cells on it. - I'm not sure if that helps me to understand or not!

    That is both tremendously inspiring and sadly true, I find. Thanks for your contribution.

    Much thanks for that.
    AH! That old thing again! I keep getting that. Be assured, I still get the message, though. Are you mailing me at
    davidalexking@googlemail.com ? If you are you should not be getting the problem. Sorry about that.

    Mmm the thought I've been having is that if so many of society's ills can b e reduced to 17 syllables, how many should it take to solve them?
