This is a fact that, although not many may want to linger on, is somewhat understandable and unsurprising. However, perhaps a more surprising factoid is that mitochondria of our very cells are believed to have arised from endocytic bacteria which developed an advanced relationship with our cells early in evolution.

Many would have watched the countdown on the news, eagerly awaiting the excuse to get out the expensive champagne once again, but is the recession really over, as everyone has said?

Even after watching the manifestos and watching news, the main three still seem very similar, with the same old spin on issues and almost identical policies, in some scenarios. by James Street Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:38:23 +0000 f35e3161f8c8bb89de8bccacf508b386 http://www.suttonguardian.co.uk/news/yourneighbourhood/5046383.Terry_Saga_Rumbles_On/?ref=rss To even those with no interest in football, the John Terry saga will not have escaped anybody’s attention over the last fortnight. The (former) England captain is no stranger to negative tabloid press, but the recent scandal has cost him both his job and a respect among football fans. Many were shocked, not by the defender’s actual act, but his attempt to be granted a super injunction to prevent the story from ever being reported. Pundits and journalists seem are split as to what should have happened to Terry. All have their opinions on what this has done to England’s World Cup chances, which player should be captain and what will happen when Terry and Wayne Bridge inevitably play together again. In my opinion though, I believe Terry should have retained the England captaincy and in addition, I think in South Africa the Chelsea player will b wearing the captain’s armband. I am not trying to defend what Terry did; far from it; but the captain should be picked on purely football reasons and promoting Rio Ferdinand to captain and Steven Gerrard to vice-captain appears hypocritical. Both players have hardly been model professionals, with Ferdinand currently on a four-match ban for serious foul play and previously suffering from an eight-month ban for skipping a random drugs test. In addition, just last year Gerrard was arrested for and later cleared from GBH charges after assaulting a member of the public at a night club for allegedly not playing Phil Collins.
