Help us help mankind!
We run folding@home.

Do you want to help Stanford find cures for diseases like Alzheimers, Mad cow disease etc.?

Then FOLDING@HOME is something you should consider!
Stanford needs your help, and so does team AOA.

As Robbie Burns would say...

Some hae meat and cannae eat Some would eat that
want it
But we hae meat and we can eat Sae let the Lord be thankit.

We have the ability to do something about our futures now, its a no brainer in my opinion.

Well we can hardly keep ONE planet in good shape as it is, how do you think it would be if we had TWO planets to take care of?

(Yes, I know the moon isn't a planet in itself)

Besides, a DC project called "Colonizing-The-Moon At Home" just doesn't cling as well as "Folding at home"does! LOL

Thats old school! I think turning the moon into a landfill is the next big thing.

DC would be real easy since most of us already participate in "Trash the Earth @ Home". It would be a seemless transition to "Trash the Moon @ Home". Not much challenge there so do something challenging like Fold @ Home. afterall, the life you save maybe your own.

A phrase that has signature potential, perhaps?

I think I picked that up along the way but can't recall when or where.

It would probably make an excellent sig especially for those who have no idea what folding is, might prompt them to look into it. Maybe when put in terms like that the fenceriders might fall our direction also.
