Ripley's Believe It or Not has been presenting the incredible and the unusual in illustrated form since Robert Ripley's first "Champs and Chumps" comic published on Dec. 19, 1918. Currently, B.I.O.N. is illustrated by John Graziano, who has been working as an artist and illustrator since 1983, when he received a certificate in illustration from the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts. He has designed trading card sets and a portrait series based on the 1960s cult TV show "Dark Shadows." John has also created comic strips for "Scream Queens" magazine, designed t-shirts graphics and created storyboards and concept drawings for Hollywood films. Researcher Lucas Stram has worked since 2004 as the voice behind the cartoon, reviewing potential stories, filtering through the hundreds of weekly submissions and putting together the stories for John to bring to life. New submissions are always welcome. Just click here.

Interesting story, Gweedo. Apparently he lost his arms by attempting to make a bomb.

Reading the stories, they explain that the farmers used bombs to kill or stun the fish, which rise to the surface, making it easier to collect them in masses, so he is no terrorist.
I’ll bet the second hand was a lot easier to build than the first, since he then had a usable hand.

He had others do it of course but under his directions.

The treatment builds on that by copying and pasting HIV-resistant genes into a cell. There are two different methods currently being employed: scientists at Sangamo BioSciences in Richmond, California modified the CCR5 receptor so that it resembles the naturally resistant one. The company is currently conducting a trial on their method with AIDS patients.
The Stanford researchers found a perhaps even stronger method. They honed in on an undamaged section of the CCR5 receptor and inserted three genes that boost a person’s immune resistance against HIV, preventing HIV’s entryway via the CCR5 and CXCR4 receptors.
