Tumours with teeth, hair, bone, brain tissue and Nectar cards are probably the most horrific thing to be extracted from the human body with the possible exception of parasitic invaders. I think these lil' chaps qualify as "awesome science" haha.

I like Stamets. I've read several of his books and even though some of his ideas are a little 'far out' (like mushrooms being sentient organisms) I think that he's pushing in the right direction and clearly has some very interesting ideas.

This TED youtube channel that posted this is great! Lots of interesting stuff.

Don't tell me you just took that thing about global warming causing tsunamis seriously. I'm not religious, but if there was a thing I wanted to brand as a death sin...
