  1. Hi-Fidelity for me - awesome film, closely followed by Sixteen Candles which is an 80s classic.

     

    is it really that highly regarded? know that Pretty in Pink was 1 the 80s film to watch but 16 candles?

     

    thought the classics were supposed to be 16. Say Anything..., Stand By Me and The Sure Thing (more of which will come in future threads)

     

  2. "Ultraviolet" is only silly and trashy, silly and trashy I can handle. Utter c**p I have no time for, same with 'technically incompetent', which is what that "Omen" remake is.

  6. I prefer animals

     

    That is my perogative

     

    There are no starving kids in this country and if I donated my money to Africa it would end up funding Mercedes' and palaces for corrupt dictators and their cronies not helping the starving

     

    When I die every penny I have will be going to designated dogs homes, donkey sanctuaries and charities that help endangered species

     

    But are you doing things now?

    Devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) is a fatal disease of the Tasmanian Devil. First seen in 1999, the disease has ravaged Tasmania's wild devils, and estimates of the impact range from 20% to as much as a 50% decline in the devil population with over 65% of the State affected.[1][2] Affected high-density populations suffer up to 100% mortality in 12–18 months.[3] The disease has mainly been concentrated in the State’s eastern half, although in early 2005, three cases were confirmed in South Tasmania.[citation needed]

     

    DFTD begins as lesions and lumps around the mouth. The lesions and lumps develop into cancerous tumours that spread from the face to the entire body. The tumours interfere with feeding, and the affected animal may starve to death.

     

    Using cultures of the cancerous tissue to study the condition, researchers have identified the cancer as neuroendocrine in nature, and all cancer cells have identical chromosomal rearrangements.[4] A virus was initially thought to be the cause of DFTD, but no evidence of such a virus could be detected in the cancer cells. The cancer cells themselves are an infective agent, with transmission of the disease occurring by biting, feeding on the same material, and aggressive mating. Final confirmation of this came when researcher Anne-Maree Pearse and colleagues found an infected animal that had a chromosomal abnormality in its non-tumourous cells that did not appear in its tumour cells, proving that the tumour cells could not be descended from the animal's own cells.[5][6][7] Pearse believes that this may prove vital to the survival of the devils. Since June 2005, three females have been found that are partially resistant to DFTD.[8]

     

    The DFTD cells have a similar karotype to cancer cells from canine transmissible venereal tumor, a cancer of dogs that is transmitted between animals by physical contact.[4]
