Letter: Letters : Added bladder

Published 11 October 1997

From Richard Miller

St Neots, Cambridgeshire

I was struck by the proposal in the Feedback competition
(13 September) that
bladder walls genetically engineered to be “more elastic” would be an
improvement.

While I don’t doubt that a reinforced detrusor muscle would be advantageous,
I can’t help but be amused by the fact that this article and three full-page
advertisements for beer appeared in the same issue. Are we to read anything into
this chance coincidence, or is this a case for the 6X files?

Issue no. 2103 published 11 October 1997
