The technique they used can be applied to a wide range of applications. In particular, it will be possible to build other biosensors “that react specifically with other biological chemicals, environmental agents or even microbes, as well as to create pasta.
The enzymes of the pasta are perfectly suited to conditions in which you can generate layer by layer of lasagne like material out of anything – even people.
After several employees went missing during an understock of these tasty pastas, the police investigated and discovered a soylent green like scene.
When the president of the company was interviewed, he was quoted as saying, “The idea was brilliant. Almost 7 billion people in the world, how could you not use them to create pasta? Don’t give me that disgusted look. You’re next. And that microphone as well.” Shortly afterwards, the president went missing.

Sirius writes: Urban Dictionary has recently announced that they will be adding new root language information to each of their entrees.
“Many of the people who view our site would be shot in public if they were to use some of the words that we have in our library. With knowledge as to where these words were derived, we can avoid potential lawsuits, and help inform the public of how to use these words more properly.”
The root languages will include ‘Gangsta’, ‘Asian’, ‘Nerd’, ‘Internet’, ‘C++’, ‘Children based TV shows not limited to Teletubies’, and ‘Pre 16-Bit Era’.
“Often times, you will encounter words such as H4X0RZ, and it would be much simpler to know that you are only allowed to say this on the internet. Another example would be “ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US” will provoke unwanted hostility when used in public.”
Urban Dictionary also is considering adding a translator for difficult phrases such as ‘ROFLMAO GG NUBL3T GOT PWN3D!!!11!!1@NOSPAM@NOSPAM@NO_SPAM111!!!!’ into a much more understandable ‘You Suck’.
