The world's smallest cartoon strip was created in March 2014 by German artists and scientists who etched a 12 panel comic onto a single strand of human hair! Since March 2014, it has been illegal for joggers to run in groups in Burundi. Zebrafish, found in Asia, can repeatedly regenerate its tail, limbs, spinal cord, and even its heart!

The German comic strip must’ve been very tedious to make. As for the zebrafish, when does it really expire if it regenerates its heart? As for jogging in a group in Burundi, are they afraid of pickpocketing or something?

Well, pass that comic strip around the room so everyone can read it.

Is anyone doing research on the zebrafish to find out whyit can do that and if it can help humans who have lost limbs??

I wonder what history Burundi has with marauding joggers.
sheepdawg about 10 years ago
Yes, there has been ongoing research on zebrafish regeneration since 1955. There have been nearly 23,000 publications on this topic.

Unfortunately zebra-fish can’t unflush themselves. Or is that fortunately, as once you’ve got ‘em they won’t ever go away.

What does that have to do with what I said?I never said anything about riding! Your comment does not make any sense to me!!

Yeah, that was a great idea about the comic strip etched in the hair. Now if I can just find that funny one last month.
