Blog number ninety-nine July 12, 2007
Went with Teresa to the dentist, while there I was reading an article in the National Geographic. It was about regeneration of tissues. Supposedly scientists had caused a chicken to regenerate the tip of a wing.
The last sentence in the article went something like wasn't it wonderful that we are now able to regenerate blood, veins, all the organs. And then the very last sentence of the whole article contained two words. They were, "Except lips."
Why, of ALL the organs, were lips exempted? And why, in this "scientific" article in a "scientific" magazine, was not the exemption elaborated upon? Explained? Huh?
Do I expect too much? Is that it?
