Okay, this is old news, but new news to me. I missed it before.

Nintendo does not want to get its Pokemon character linked to a gene that is said to cause cancer. It puts legal pressure to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York to change its funny name for the gene into something else.

I know that cancer is something very serious, but Nintendo shows an absolute lack of sense of humour. Secondly I think it is an absolute honour giving the name of something this stupid, like a comic game character – like Pokemon, to something this important.

But who am I?!
