Well, AFAIK people have been fiddling with myoblasts for at least 15 years, so I'm assuming that the novelty is in the particulars of the method, rather than the deed itself.

Yes, they used some helper cells, whose name I can't recall right now.

[Il Palazzo]

Apparently, some scientists managed to grew working muscle cells. Tested on mice, would contract and regenerate normally.

Scientists have created "Working Muscles". The mutant muscles were tested by repeatedly contracting the regenerating mice. PETA paramilitaries are already picketing the lab.
Authors could not be reached to comment on the impact the additional workforce may have on the already skyrocketing unemployment, but an anonymous professional involved in the discovery told us it would most likely take what jobs are left after the Poles and Albanians flooded our country.
The future for honest, hard-working Brits looks grim indeed.

I wouldn't put it past the Daily Fail to actually post such an article

Are they fucking serious or is this some kind of joke?
I call Poe's law.

I think it's satire from Il Pallazzo.

[Knit tie]

That's obviously satire.

[scrdest]

It is satire.

You forget, it IS the daily mail.

They'd probably shoot their own mothers if they thought it would make a headline.

Yes, I was joking about the first part, hence the smiley.

No. I simply googled it whole and in parts and found no references to the article. Simple as that.

Sense of bad humour.

Do you have it!?

I used to. It was surgically removed ten years ago, I still have the scar.

NASA detects ocean inside Saturn Moon, potential home for extraterrestrial microbes

"...but water is not the only factor that makes Enceladus such a promising habitat. The water is in contact with the moon's rocky core, so elements useful for life, such as phosphorus, sulfur and potassium, will leach into the ocean."

I'm certain there is life there. Life just tend to fill every niche.

Explain the lack of space whales to me then.

[Mech#4]

I would guess there is life there, squiggly little microbes or those underwater vent worm thingies. Life's rather tough, and since life appeared in water on Earth, in water on another planet or moon seems reasonable. There's also Europa for under ice seas isn't there?
