Great Balls of Health

It’s for your own good

A man’s testicles might be a source of stem cells to help him fight serious diseases, US scientists have shown.

They extracted early-stage sperm cells from mice, then turned them into cells capable of becoming different tissues.

Writing in Nature, the Weill Cornell Medical College team said their work might lead to treatments for illnesses such as Alzheimer’s and diabetes.

However, some doubt has been expressed on the willingness of men to undergo the procedure to extract the cells.

You must be really fuckin' bored. You've changed the picture in this post twice, and now in your Star post. I need to give you that present!

I'll do it!! After my vasectomy it couldn't be that bad. Trust me, you haven't lived until you have experienced the smell of your own nuts burning.

Hey, is that internet teen porn sensation Brandi Belle? It looks like her, and she has the same bored expression Brandi always has when she's jacking off some loser's junk.

"Got my balls on your mind?" might now be a triple entendre?

@2, where did you get that burning nuts vasectomy? That doesn't sound like the procedure in the Dr. Snip pamphlet.

It was on the Eastside. The Dr's name was Narender Sude, which I always thought was funny, because it is (sort of) an anagram of Surrender Nude, which is just what I did. It is not like they dipped my balls in lighter fluid or anything but they do soder the "strings" when they have finished with the knots. I was too drugged out to notice until I smelled burning and saw a small puff of smoke.

Real progress will be when they can develop stem cells from fully mature sperm. I have a few of those they can borrow, no problem.

"...like a star on a cold night, hers is a sex with no heat."

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Actually, that cold star bit may not be too far off the mark, as it looks like they're having sex on the Enterprise.

Or a filthy trailer. Trailerprise. Filthy, filthy trailerprise.
