Everybody's Got AIDS
by Ryan Sproull
Interestingly, AIDS is also Aids in the Oxford Dictionary. No, that’s not interesting. That’s boring. And frustrating.
Anyway, gangsta geneticists from the South Sweden Massif are a step closer to a vaccine for HIV. How’d they do it? Oh, just took a gene from the HIV virus and transferred it into a bacterium, which then passed it on to a MOTHERFUCKING PLANT, which started producing the BITCHIN’ HIV-IDENTIFYING PROTEIN, and which they then FED TO GODDAM MICE and the mice started PRODUCING ANTIBODIES, HOMES.
In other news, studies have shown that making science stories a little more gangsta increases their palatability.
Back to the original news, the plan is to feed the world the HIV vaccine in fucking carrots. Holy shit. Life is cool.
I wonder how much those carrots will cost.
