Apparently you can teach old dogs new tricks. Injections of a naturally occuring hormone can reverse the effects of osteoporosis. Fortunately, I'm not old enough to need it, but it is comforting to know that as I age, science ain't always bad for me. This is a concise photorepresentation of the discovery.

Cool-o. I still stand by my theory that if I live long enough I'll get science to create me a Mecca-suit for my brain, and this will allow me to live FOREVER! heh.

But, yes, it's is comforting, I imagine millions and millions of people would need this, it's not easy living your life knowing that small pac-mans are eating away at your bones.
