would you kiss a HIV-infected patient? someone whom you don't even know. would you?

not in any lives of mine. even if science proven that AIDS virus will not transmitted through physical contact. bet the celebrities will wash their lips with dettol, rinse with sulphuric acid and lasered their skin with UV-rays. not that i am scastic or biased against such patients. but you gotta be responsible for your own body. remember prevention is better than cure.

another discovery( see article below) found along shores northeast from our land. * clap clap...* new discovery means new hope means another unexplored medicine field. hopefully...maybe medicine for the virus mentioned above. *sigh*

Dozens of new species of marine life found


(picture not related to Strait Times article.)

MANILA - An intensive study of marine life off a small island in the central Philippines has possibly yielded dozens of new species of crabs, shrimp and other sea creatures.

Senior Professor Philippe Bouchet of France's Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle said the six-week study off the shores of Panglao town in Bohol had found numerous species possibly not recorded before.

The Panglao Marine Diversity Project 2004 study brought together 60 scientists from 17 countries, armed with diving, dredging and trawling equipment.

Prof Bouchet said many of the new species of crabs, nudibranchs and microshells they found were very small, with some only 1mm long.

Among the largest of the new species is a crab whose shell is so well camouflaged that observers thought it was just a rock, he said. -- AFP
