But Is It Art? – Tumor Dolls
From the Newscientist.com (can you tell I love that site?), scientists have created a doll shaped… thing out of collagen and tumor cells.
I’m guessing this won’t be the next blockbuster gift next Christmas. “Um, Jenny sweetheart, maybe you shouldn’t play with that…”

Mmm, put some buttons on that little guy and he’d make a yummy cookie.

I know several dorks who would appreciate one! Where can I get one? And do they have to be fed, require a tempurature controlled environment, and are they radioactive?

Ugh!
All this, and now someone referring to Alzheimers as “diabetes of the brain”.
Ugh!

Someone said: “Everything is ART if an ‘artist’ said: THIS IS AN ART!”, but it will not bring any food to your table, nor either make you famous.
My art are paintings, only!

stick a brain cell in its head and we have a new friend. seriously though, no, it isn’t art. i am an artist and i said it. but i still want one. externally, of course.

not art, but maybe an artist? actually, he’s got something going on with that left hand… looks kinda like a thumb-ish appendage, maybe a hitchhiker?
silliness aside, it’s incredible and yeah, that’s a cool, cool site!

Maybe we can build buildings out of these cancer cells in the future…OR…maybe we could destroy buildings with them! Look out Iran! Tehran versus the blob!
