Saeri Kiritami made a life-size sculpture of herself from one million grains of rice. Rx Scientists at Shanghai University, China, have discovered that collagen rich fibers from the tilapia fish boost skin growth on wounds faster than normal bandages. In 1935, golf pro Alex Ednie demonstrated the power of a new rubber golf ball by driving it straight through a 500 page phone book.

Excellent, once they can clone that tissue it will be having living bandages for use. I wonder if human tissue can aid in wound repair speed?

Tilapia fish? Isn’t that redundant? As opposed to tilapia dog? Tilapia tree? Tilapia processed cheese food?
