  • hackwrench, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The title makes it sound that administering the protein may avert blindness, but the article seems to suggest that blocking the protein might be what to do.

If any of you know anything about Washington State University you would know this story was fake if anybody claimed to achieve ANYTHING there, aside from getting plastered and crapping their pants.
