Jon.. I think it was supposed to be a joke. As a scientist myself I've been vaguely chuckling at the plasmids in Bioshock, while also silently cursing that it'll make it more difficult to Google genuine plasmids. (Although I doubt any in bioshock will be called pRep1 for example.) While I have never used plasmids to blow things up, I have used them to make things glow under UV light, which is at least slightly exciting. Pst… Jon.. I think it was supposed to be a joke.

Scientology isn't a science, it's a religion! Reading a storybook doesn't make you a scientist! Jon “Real live scientist (my friend Teresa) who has a Doctorate in Scientology”
