Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 12, 2020

Is the guy’s name “Bob”

I’m guessing that he wasn’t a direct descendant.

Those are extremely happy Wiley bears!

“We dead yet?” “Yah, we dead this time.”

Who else but Wiley bears would put a hollowed-out log by the edge of a cliff with instructions?

Actually, it looks more like he designed the first snow scoop. But he did deliver himself to the bears ice-packed.

Ah. I suppose that guy was named “Bob”, right? Though I had thought that was the name of the guy without arms or legs who was very popular with folks who went fishing…

Look! Bearasarus Rex!

This guy is Pierre of the North’s Uncle.

So this is #11 for sailing off a snowy drop. Yawn!

Alas, his bark was much less than their bite.

Sunday comics + Wiley’s Bears = Great Sunday Morning.

YAY!!!! WILEY BEARS!!! YAY!!!!!!

Must be a bare-bones subscription to Ancestry…

Also the precursor of just in time delivery.

Jamaican me crazy ;)

Good thing great Grandpa Bob procreated before he created.

I see Wiley bears don`t hibernate.

Thanks for the robust laugh.

So why didn’t the toboggan fill up with snow. Seem to me the front would be a scoop.

R&D is always the toughest part for inventors.

Who was holding his beer?

Google: He took a DNA test in search of his birth father and found a daughter instead

Somehow, that explains a lot about him.

The bears had the Cavedash app.

I’d say this explains a lot about Eddie, but…

Super today. Reads like some of my life.

LOL…………. Too funny, Wiley.

If delivery takes over 30 minutes, the order is free?

Shouldn’t the bears be hibernating, this time of year?

There used to be a site dedicated to giving evidence that Bob really isn’t a half bad name, unless it is paired with other names, like Billy, John, and Joe, etc.

The really Bad part about the DNA corporations is the part in the fine Print where you give them full title to your DNA on the off chance you may have something in you that is Medically Useful.

Like Henrietta Lacks, for instance, whose Cancer Cells have earned more than a Billion Dollars for various Research labs without paying her or her family a single Penny or even asking for Permission to use her tissues for research.

by 1954, Jonas Salk was using HeLa (Henrietta Lacks) cells in his research to develop the polio vaccine To test his new vaccine, the cells were mass-produced in the first-ever cell production factory. Additionally, Chester M. Southam, a leading virologist, injected HeLa cells into cancer patients, prison inmates, and healthy individuals in order to observe whether cancer could be transmitted as well as to examine if one could become immune to cancer by developing an acquired immune response.

HeLa cells were in high demand and put into mass production. They were mailed to scientists around the globe for “research into cancer, AIDS, the effects of radiation and toxic substances, gene mapping, and countless other scientific pursuits”.

HeLa cells were the first human cells successfully cloned in 1955, and have since been used to test human sensitivity to tape, glue, cosmetics, and many other products.

Since the 1950s, scientists have grown as much as 50 million metric tons of her cells, and there are almost 11,000 patents involving HeLa cells.

What a wonderful surprise for ’em bears. Bon Appetit!
