<being slaughtered isn't a bad thing after all......>
:
Crazie: Moooo.. but i still miss Farmer Fred. where has he gone to? haix.. are we all going to die here??? how i wish i was slaughtered by Farmer Fred last time!! At least he could eat my meat!
Farmer Fred: oh great! with that nano thing, i can test my family and my cows for the disease.
Doctor: of course u should. make sure that your family members are safe first because there is no treatment, no cure, and it's 100% fatal.
Farmer Fred: Ahhhhhh...
Doctor: And don't assume that cooking of the beef makes it safe. That's absolutely wrong because the prion protein can still survive under extremely high temperatures, so cooking will not protect anyone from this abnormal prion protein.
Farmer Fred: Ahhhhh... i should'nt have ate my cows!!!

Yoyo every one, Nano nanny is here to stay! Nano nanny will save the day today!
Dear farmer fred, you no longer have to worry about contracting Mad Cow disease from your cows, because Nanowerks (http://www.nanowerk.com/news/newsid=4730.php/ ) introduces to Moodbridge farm...
the smallest detecter of Mad cow disease!
This wonderful nano-sensor will be able to sense the prion proteins that cause Mad Cow Disease in the bloodstream of both cows and human, to identify Mad Cow disease. This is essential because the incubation period is too long to detect, and when the symptoms show, it is usually too late.Prions are infectious proteins that can cause deadly nerve-damaging diseases such as Mad Cow Disease in cattle, scrapie in sheep, and a human form of Mad Cow Disease called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.
What's more, this amazing sensor is able to detect record-LOW levels of the deadly prion proteins.
CHIM-CHIM mechanism behind this: The sensor detects binding of prion proteins by detecting frequency changes of a micromechanical oscillator. The device includes a silicon sensor, which resembles a tiny tuning fork, that changes vibrational resonant frequency when prions bind. Its vibration patterns are then measured by a special detector. In experimental trials, the sensor detected prions at concentrations as low as 2 nanograms per millilitre, the smallest levels measured to date!!!
What more can you ask for, when conventional tests are designed to detect the proteins only upon autopsy? That is sooo time-consuming and unreliable lah.
AND THE WORLD IS SAVED, thanks to NANO NANNY(:
