They found this mole in Africa that is immune to pain, and is cold blooded. They say that this may lead to new solutions for chronic pain medicines, among many other things. Its really interesting, check it out.

  1. I wonder where they got the idea to test its pain receptors
  2. Did they ask the mole how it was feeling after being poked?

Something that's immune to pain? That's pretty weird. I've of some people who are resistant to pain with a nervous condition, but something immune to pain normally is crazy.

It would need to be immune to pain if it ever had to look at itself or another one of those things...



Gross!

lmao its a damned pity they haven't got genetic modifcation in humans working yet, because those genes would come in handy for me tomorrow, I'm milling two massive Samoans :(

P.S Milling is a traditional introduction to the regiment, everyone goes through it and its sort of like a boxing match to prove you have balls. Generally you get matched with someone bigger than you, but the only people even close to these two in physical bulk are each other, and they are brothers. No fear in beating each other up, so no point, and we figured better one cripple than two, shortly after that I got the short straw. Fail?

...Reminds me of that Jet Li movie... Anyone know what I'm talking about? He's immune to fight and never really knows when he's hurt or anything. The people he fights too are immune and just keep fighting until their body can't physically move anymore. Pretty cool.

I don't think it would be that hard to make humans not feel pain. Can't you just remove something from a part of the brain that senses feeling? Although then you wouldn't be able to feel ANYTHING.
