My class is doing this play and i got a SMALL part. Only 4 wrds. And 4 the final song we are doing a GREASE song. I like the songs, they're catchy. My favorite is Allosandro Volta, and the play is pretty funny.

 Using newly developed voltage-sensitive nanoparticles, researchers have found that the previously unknown electric fields inside of cells are as strong, or stronger, as those produced in lightning bolts. Previously, it has only been possible to measure electric fields across cell membranes, not within the main bulk of cells, so scientists didn't even know cells had an internal electric field.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2007/12/its-electrifyin.html"><P>This discovery is a surprising twist for cell researchers. Scientists
don't know what causes these incredibly strong fields or why they' are
there. But now using new nanotools, such as voltage-sensitive dyes,
they can start to measure them at least. Researchers believe they may
be able to learn more about disease states, such as cancer, by studying
these minute, but powerful electric fields.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/824355B4-5ED6-4C0A-B33E-C9D935C325C9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
