Scientists claim sperm 'first'

[edesignuk]

Scientists in Newcastle claim to have created human sperm in the laboratory in what they say is a world first.

The researchers believe the work could eventually help men with fertility problems to conceive.

But other experts say they are not convinced that fully developed sperm have been created.

Writing in the journal Stem Cells and Development, the Newcastle team say it will be at least five years before the technique is perfected.

They began with stem cell lines derived from human embryos donated following IVF treatment.

That is just weird. I want to know what the kid would look like.

Useless? Never. Women still need men to hammer nails into things, and grill.

And change a tire and open the mayonaise jar.

And change a tire and open the mayonaise jar.

Have you tried feeding e pineapples?
I've heard that may help...

And kill spiders!

Don't kill them, just take them outside!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Don't kill them, just take them outside!

No, they need to be killed. It's the only way the others learn.

Plus, we have to find a use for the frankly obsolete e.

And he could be a tree in the backround for a local play! Wouldn't you like that E?

Just take him outside too. He can tell the spiders to not go in your house...

I'd rather not have him lurking outside my house, if it's all the same. There's property prices to consider, you know.

Apparently the new sperm comes in chocolate or strawberry.

My wife makes me kill them because she's afraid they'll make their way back into the house, so that should help. Of course it doesn't help when I lightly tickle the back of her leg when we're in bed.

 

[GoCubsGo]

I want men more than I want their sperm.

I could go so many nasty ways with this.

*twiddles thumbs and whistles*

 

[BoyBach]

And kill spiders!

And cue Jaffa Cake running out the door, gibbering.

 

[Unspoken Demise]

This now reminds me of the great battle between Lime Cat and Clock Spider.

*ponders iGary's thoughts*

 

[iGary]

They can use it for the Oozinator.

I think many women already consider us completely useless. *shrugs*
