Q-Tip sales skyrocket, but ...
Excellent. When do they get to, like, cancer?

Dude! They got to cancer like 15 years ago. Rb, p53, BRCA1, these were all identified long ago. Hell, there's whole CLASSES of genes identified as "oncogenes" or "tumor suppressor genes". Give biologists a break. Yeah, there's no cure for cancer, yet. But the understanding of it has come a long way, especially the genetics behind it.

Well, you know, it's like, SCIENCE, you know, not like, cooking hamburgers or something. I mean, you might be studying something and find out something about the thing you're studying, you know, and maybe then it has an application that, well, you kinda didn't really, like EXPECT, so, well, I think you oughta just go back to restating the obvious, like, well, that Michelle Malkin doesn't give a rat's ass about, like, FACTS or anything, if you know what I mean, and leave the science to us.

Easy. Easy. It was just a joke, science guys.

Mutant earwax genes. I hope I don't kiss the wrong pods or I might become a mutant earwax gene alien.

HA! I knew that was Saurabh commenting before I saw his name. I am so smart.
Of course, I can't help with either earwax OR cancer.
