    "Researchers aren't entirely sure just how the whole process works, but they have observed the resulting damage of nanoparticles signaling a hit on DNA."

    Winner of the Scary Sentence of the Week competition. Science itself cannot comprehend the danger posed by nanoparticles shredding you to pieces while you sleep!

    "I'm just gonna stick to being a bit scared that I'll get a package of fish if I upset any nanoparticles anyway."

    Also watch out for horse heads in your bed.

    @madog: You should read some of Ray Kurzweil's stuff, according to him, and the mass amounts of evidence he's compiled in technology growth, we'll have this type of stuff in the next 40 years. The catch is you just have to stay alive long enough to enjoy it. He seems to think that after scientists finally perfect nanomachines(which isn't too far off) technology will advance like crazy.

    But does it also give one a rugged American tough-guy accent, and the ability to do a fancy song and dance number with Beyonce while remaining endearingly masculine?

    or

    [www.amazon.com]

    I'd consider the last option, because like Showgirls, it's a movie you need to watch over and over, and lend to friends because it's so.....There are no words.

    Also, a little known fact. The Timmy/Jimmy fight from South Park was taken scene for scene from They Live.
