Another piece of useless information

The same blue food dye found in M&Ms and Gatorade could be used to reduce damage caused by spine injuries, offering a better chance of recovery, according to new research.

Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center found that when they injected the compound Brilliant Blue G (BBG) into rats suffering spinal cord injuries, the rodents were able to walk again, albeit with a limp.

The only side effect was that the treated mice temporarily turned blue.

I guess if it's walk like a smurf or not, I'd rock the funky smurf hat.

Oh wow we could make temporary true blue chickens.

Wonder if by mixing the colors, purplechicken could get real purple chickens for awhile.
