Thank you Jeesuss for having me born today!

Cop this. Stanford researchers have created working heart cells from skin cells. Here's the video. And I'm reading this only 5 minutes after talking to my neighbour Nick, who wants me to look after Mister Bilson, his new kitten while he gets a procedure that maps a collapsed disc. After that he'll get a plastic disc inserted from the stomach, and grafted bone from his femur to get the body to accept the plastic disc as his.

At 64 I can actually expect a new heart from skin cells when my ticker runs out of steam. All I'll need is a cool million or so....
