How do we all know the phrase "The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell." like was it a famous book that coined the phrase or something? I really need to know.

"Powerhouse of the Cell" is an article about mitochondria published in Scientific American in 1957. A Google Books Ngram search shows that the phrase gained popularity in published works around this time but it may have already been in use among a smaller community starting in the early 1940's.

It's not the first time a user has had a mimicker: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=33648

Also, yay! The "Users" section finally shows users' states and divisions!
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.

If we give it an indefinite amount of time and a computer, it could code the most advanced forum site ever.
(however, scientific theory ignores a basic fact even high schoolers know - that an indefinite amount of time does not readily exist to experiment with
