Joe Landolina may have invented a cure for bleeding.

Wow, for a minute I thought this might have come from government spending, but then I realized that this project would have ranked far lower than studoes in “lesbian fat women,” and other worthless liberal cr*p projects out there.

Oh well, we know where all the creativity and intelligence is - and it ain’t in D.C. or Hollywood.

Can Stars Wars’ “bacta gel” be far behind? In patches or as total immersion it healed everything. Wouldn’t that be wonderful!

Whenever I read about things like this, I wonder how many great minds have fell prey to the abortionist.
