Title: Tugs - 1k Milestone
Post by: TeaLeaf on September 16, 2003, 03:37:01 PM
With his 20th WU, Tugs bust through the 1000 points barrier and is now sitting pretty (ok, well just sitting then) with 1027 points  :D

Please all join me in congratulating the fifth member of the exclusive '1k Klub'

Way to go Tugs!

...from Tugs sitting on them or from nasty diseases? :norty:

The answer to the former is difficult to say, as so far all of the people Tugs has sat on have not survived for a post-squish interview.  Don't worry though, I'll sit you next to him at the LAN and then you can ask him yourself  :cheers:

As to the latter, hmmmm..... this is also a difficult question as it is still early days, but I think I can safely say that the answer will be 'a lot'.  You can read more about it by looking at the Stanford website - a substantial amount of important data has already come out of this published research that is taking us ever closer to understanding the molecular dynamics of the medical problems being studied.  When you understand the bio-mechanics of the systems, you can then look to replicate those systems and introduce novel properties into those molecule structures that solve or negate the original illness.  That is the goal of folding......knowledge is power, unless of course Tugs is sitting on you, in which case knowledge fo this fact simply confirms that you are powerless.  :P
