In what has to be a strong contender for creepiest news of the week, researchers at Stanford University have found that a transfusion of blood from young mice makes the brains of older mice sharper and more effective.


The research is not only ghoulish, but totally galling, meaning that not only vampires but also dictator Kim Jong Il – who was long rumored to receive blood transfusions from young virgins, because hey, what’s even the point of being a tyrannical dictator if you’re not going to be a little batshit loony about it sometimes –may have had a point about the life restoring qualities of other people’s blood.

This is creepy and cool.

I have to say, I might have passed it by except for the Kim Jong Il sentence. That made me laugh.

Heh, this is the reason we atheists eat babies.

...and yet, if I'm not terribly mistaken, Kim Jong Il is quite dead, is he not?

Hey, Kimmy, how's that blood transfusion thing workin' out for you these days?
