Aliens have hacked @brb ’s account

 

The site threw a wobbly. Suppose I better go and look what caused it.

 

Nah missed that

 

Before it catches fire, or gets beamed up to an alien craft orbiting Saturn, yes.

 

I'm always impressed with scientific advances in medical treatment and some like these are like 'wow!' moments.

Scientists successfully alter donor kidney blood type.

Scientists have successfully altered the blood type of three donor kidneys - a breakthrough that could increase the supply of kidneys available for transplant, particularly for ethnic minority groups who are less likely to find a match.

A kidney from someone with an A blood type cannot be transplanted to someone with a B blood type, nor the other way around.


But changing the blood type to the universal O will allow more transplants to take place, as this can be used for people with any blood type.

University of Cambridge researchers used a normothermic perfusion machine - a device which connects with a human kidney to pass oxygenated blood through the organ to better preserve it for future use - to flush blood infused with an enzyme through the deceased donor kidney.

The enzyme removed the blood type markers that line the blood vessels of the kidney, which led to the organ being converted to O type.

Not really the sort of medical advance us AB blood types will be celebrating. Our potential kidney transplant chance will presumably just have got smaller.

 

It's so the Lizard Aliens can drink all types of blood, @aberdude to confirm.

Oh cool.

Thanks for posting that, looks a mean fuker

In other news

 

I had to find what that looked like

Both those videos are quality. Whale shark is considered friendly to humans. Swims in relatively shallow waters close to the surface and people often swim with them.

 

Nah **** that imagine it swallowed you like that while swimming

 

true

Just don't swim with it near any fish.

 

Im not one for sea swimming anyway, waist height maybe and thats me. Too many dangers

 

Mate you've got to do some scuba diving, it's fcking incredible. And you can see the fish around you. I've done it in warm waters.

Not saying swim out into the English Channel from Brighton beach or off out into the Irish sea off Blackpool pier... fck that ****
