   Its really interesting to note how patterns of neuronal activity of a Monkey can be studied and findings can be implied in paralysis patient

   Yeah, it's interesting. Unfortunately it's very interesting.b It's too bad they need to cut open the monkey's head to monitor the firing and then kill him when they are done with the experiment. They treat them like they aren't even living thinking beings... like they are just disposable commodities.
   
   The findings are great but if we were disposing of human primates in this way, people would think very differently about the worth of such research. The cost should not be life.

   The Bible says once Israel comes into being that a generation, 70 years, would not "pass" until all the signs of Christs' return takes place. These include, eclipses, grand earthquakes, 100 lb hail--megacryometeors--a star falling into our ocean--Sedna, our waters turning to blood, becoming bitter--wormwood--and Christ return- shining brighter than the sun with a celestial city the size of America coming out of the heavens on a cloud, with fire going before him. "The stars will go black"--supernova, the moon turn "red"--lunar eclipses and our sun to go "dark"-- "before that great and notable day". Get to know the invisible Jesus now before its too late, you will meet him face to face in all his glory=light-- & power=fire. The Bible says God is light and their is no darkness in Him at all. The black hole model can not work. See GRB060614. Israel is 60 years old. Revelations predicts a final 7 years for Earth after we see these celestial signs. The seas will be on fire, the heavens melt.

   AnnyeD,
   
   Cretin, learn how to spell. Those predictions expired 2008-33+4-30 years ago; the destruction of the temple at Jerusalem was even also later than GIiberish said. The profesy is dead.

   -c- is itself one of many misspellings and misspeakings sanctioned by the standard muttish ye call "English", whereas English has been dead for 1000 years after the Norman Conquest, whereafter ye thrive on a mushroom-zombi-lik slauhtering of English, Latin, and Hellènic, and every other foreign tongu, wherein wrong becomes wriht and wriht wrong. Muttish-speakkrs live in a blind, deaf, dumb, and numb spot where they cannot see their own bullshit.

   As another exempl, you used a gerund (misspelling) and then the object, which is gibberish, or mishmash of two nouns, but you can't think to frame the proper (English) infinitive or prospective case.

   No matter how hard you try, you still don't seem smart to me. Sorry.
   
   Language evolves just like most things. Just FYI.
