Tell me if you heard this one:
A natural killer (NK) cell and an Okinawan sea sponge walk into a Japanese brewery....

Marine Sponge Leads Researchers To Immune System Regulator
University Of Chicago Medical Center
Date: 2004-12-07
A Japanese brewery, an Okinawan sea sponge, and some clever detective work have enabled an international research team based at the University of Chicago to solve a biological mystery, and the solution suggests a novel way to boost the body's defenses against cancer.
Discovered less than 10 years ago, natural killer (NK) T cells are unusual because they target lipids, often bound to carbohydrates, rather than proteins....

LIPIDS, mmmmm.

BEWARE! KILLER LIPIDS!

The only substance known to fully activate NKT cells through these receptors was the glycosphingolipid derived from an Okinawan sea sponge Agelas mauritianus. In the 1990s, researchers at the Kirin Brewery in Japan found this molecule alpha-Galactosyl-ceramide, by performing a pharmaceutical screen for natural compounds with anti-tumor activity. While this compound exhibited potent anti-cancer activity in vivo, there was no clue about the mechanism of action until researchers discovered that it was recognized by NKT cells.

So with all this research WHY THE FUCK CAN'T THEY PRODUCE A FIRST RATE BEER!!!!

Time is real. We are the illusion.
I don't think you are that much older than I am ....even though I'm more than twice your age, once with blue hair and blond eyes.
