anyone that owns a PS3 and does not do the Folding at Home should be shot! It's searching for a cure for cancer. You dont have to even be playing the system for it to do it, you just set it up, unhook it from the tv but let it stay plugged to a power outlet, then finish what you were doing.

DO FOLDING AT HOME PEOPLE!!!!

 

 being shot is going a lil to far ... i do it every now and then , but where r the cure results damn it !!!

edit : wouldnt be something if the cure of cancer came from the result of folding at home!!!! just think of the publicity the ps3 would get !!! it would be a god!!

 

you can go to the college official site to check up on there progress. My issue is it is for a really good cause and it does not take much out of each persons time. I do not do it every day, but I do do it at least once every two weeks. At least I do it.

And if the PS3 is the cause for the cure for cancer i would just shit myself. That would be so facking awsome you have no idea! Next time I get into a fanboy argument I would just say "MY SYSTEM CURES CANCER!!! WHAT DOES YOURS DO?" lmao

there is no comeback for that....

 

Unless the other consoles come up with a way for their console to cure AIDs then you couldn't come back to that =P

HAVE YOU THE BRAIN WORMS?!?!?!?!

No other system could do that..............FOOOL!

Lol jk, dont take me seriously......OR DO

 

*sniff* *sniff*.... I miss that show so much.....
