At long last, we can have blood spurting out of fresh sword wounds the way Japanese animators intended.

Don't make stupid comments if you did't even read the article. The point of digg is to link to news, not for you morons to read the description.

(in French)"Hey guys, what do you wanna do today?""Eh, I dunno, don't have any cash.""Well, I have a million dollar research grant* from the government to blow.""Holy s**t! A million bucks?... Let's put tails on blood cells and race them! Then we'll publish an article in Nature and make up some lameass excuse that no actual scientist would ever believe to justify the cost! The press and all the know-it-all science fanboys will eat it up AND my blood cells will kick your blood cells' asses!""Awesome! I call the microscope!"*no, I don't know how much it cost. But a million dollars is, given the nature of wasteful scientific spending nowadays, a lowball figure.
