Great white sharks have 41 chromosomes; human beings have just 23.
Now that the shark’s genome’s been cracked, we’re finding things that could be
Useful to humans if they could be added, like resiliency against cancer.
They also have “regenerative abilities,” which could be either question or answer.
They say they’re reviewing the genome for future, drugs that they may create.
Gene-splicing success would create superhumans; this should be up for debate.
Men, can you do over 40 pushups? If you can then you’re likely okay.
You likely won’t have heart disease; your heart muscles are not in decay.
You’re “96 percent less likely to have” a ticker that’s prone to disease,
Than guys who can’t do even ten when they try, who likely spend more time at ease.
It’s more of a test, rather than challenge; it’s a gauge of one’s fitness score.
It tells us if we’re in need of activity, and if our life is worthy of more.
If something claims to cause a “delay in your brain,” it’s scary enough to decline
Suggestions we look - it’s just an illusion; “delaying” the brain just doesn’t seem fine.
It may be a poor choice of words to explain, what we see with back and forth moves,
And delaying refers to the illusion of movement; it seems kind of like record grooves.
Our friend Penderis should find this of interest; he creates illusionary art to behold.
Illusions can also be used in deception, as a useful tool keeping people controlled.
Queen is performing at the Oscar Awards, and in five days it will take place.
This could be enough to stir up some interest, and avoid a show ratings disgrace.
We’re even thinking it might be worthwhile, just to hear Brian May’s guitar licks.
We don’t know what Adam Lambert sounds like, or if he does magical tricks.
Vulture says the performing’s odd; Bohemian Rhapsody’s not up for best song.
But it’s definitely the best they could conceive, to move massive boredom along.

Men can be super humans if we find a way to boost our brain capacity so that it can perform better than it is right now. the other way is to study these white Sharks and Aldabra Tortoise in Seychelles to find out why it is able to live longer than 200 years. Extraction of each of the genes can be tricky and complex given that we are mammals, the others are Fish and reptiles. Samuel - Uganda

A very insightful comment Samuel. I personally find the thought of genetic engineering to produce humans with "super powers" so to speak, is a very frightening concept. If they were able to do it in any way, it would be wrong, IMO. But there haven't been any restrictions so far to stop them from transferring genes of animals to plants, for example, so I don't think transferring from one animal species to another is impossible.

I don't think there is too much too be concerned about with the gene manipulation etc. It will come when the world is ready surely, or they will fuck it up so badly that like being gay it will take 100s of years for it to even be accepted. The illusion is cool , a delay does make sense. As I was reading it I just figured the mind is going WTF

My main concern is with different entities in different countries all trying this stuff out, like the Chinese guy recently who edited genes of a baby. That kind of stuff can go on without anyone even knowing they're doing it, and we could conceivably end up with actual monsters roaming the earth, even if it takes a generation or two before the monstrous being is born, due to gene editing done today. Or it could be a monster that will develop from a baby born now. No one should be touching this stuff, but they are, and that's what's scary. I think the way it's being handled, fucking it up is almost guaranteed. 50 years from now there could be super-strong, super-fast and super-deadly mutants running around. I feel it's a real possibility.
I saw another version of that same illusion this morning while looking for today's stories in the news. It had color on the rings, same result though. Thanks for the tips!

Guess that is just how it goes, they are too busy trying to control the crypto markets to be concerned with human experiments. Priorities at least haha
