  Mar 18 2012: Wtf at you guys dragging it down with your negative comments. None of you ought to be permitted to be beamed up star trek style cause you are downers (which you secretly want since you're nerds). Sorry this didn't excite you but I happen to think what this comely young gentleman has done is very interesting cool and awesome. What have you done lately? Not something that dope assuredly. Scientists don't have to innately be horrible orators, that's silly. Hate on haters.
