@ Curtis	:	(05 March - 04:43 PM) Scientists dig up giant virus more than 30,000 years old in Siberia
@ Curtis	:	(26 February - 11:25 PM) back at the job
@ caters	:	(22 February - 07:26 PM) yes but I have been told that it is visible to the naked eye and is the largest cell in the body.
@ bob1	:	(22 February - 12:46 PM) @caters - you are unlikely to see any of your eggs unless you are looking very closely at all the shed endometrium
@ caters	:	(22 February - 08:59 AM) I mean if the egg dissolves if not fertilized that means no pregnancy possible unless you know the exact ovulation date and I know for a fact that thats not true
@ caters	:	(22 February - 08:58 AM) and they may say that an unfertilized egg cell is visible to the naked eye but it is close to the 1/1000th of an inch probably even smaller than that and I honestly have never seen any of my eggs after ovulation. I also don't beleive that the egg dissolves if it is not fertilized but rather lodges into the uterus and comes out the next time the woman is on her period.
@ caters	:	(22 February - 08:54 AM) that would have another hurdle that pregnancy outside the womb. That is the amount of fluids and nutrients it needs each day.
@ hobglobin	:	(21 February - 01:51 PM) perhaps it helps then to develop back to an embryo
@ Trof	:	(21 February - 12:40 PM) I think nonetheless, it is amazing to be getting close to having the skills of a cell
@ hobglobin	:	(21 February - 12:07 PM) yes that's the point and the hurdle caters has to overcome...
@ Trof	:	(21 February - 11:46 AM) In the beginning, nobody had those
@ hobglobin	:	(21 February - 07:06 AM) yes, with an existing "infrastructure" (membranes, organelles, ribosomes, enzymes, established control and supply mechanisms and whatever)
@ Trof	:	(21 February - 03:35 AM) Just divide AFTER they had to build everything in double from scratch
@ hobglobin	:	(19 February - 09:25 AM) But "today's" cells don't start from scratch (i.e. with a heap of amino acids, lipds and nucleotides) but just divide...
@ phage434	:	(18 February - 03:54 PM) Cells have been doing it a lot longer than caters has.
@ Trof	:	(18 February - 11:49 AM) I'd say, cells are doing that all the time.
@ hobglobin	:	(17 February - 09:40 AM) I'd say...isn't that Impossible with today's methods
@ caters	:	(15 February - 12:08 PM) I am making a cell from its molecular components. Isn't that Awesome
@ caters	:	(15 February - 11:51 AM) hi guys
@ casandra	:	(28 January - 08:45 PM) Happy Birthday Lost, wherever you may be...
