Something I saw after our retreat

Yesterday, we went home from our retreat. Because it was far, we stopped over at the gas station where there are restaurants. Beside our bus was a tour bus (I'm guessing they were Chinese or Japanese). My friend and I went to Mcdonalds. After buying, we went back. On the way back, I noticed the tour bus parked beside ours. I thought I was just imagining it, but as I looked at it closer, I wasn't imagining it after all. Written on the bus was APTX!!!! I was so surprised, I only remembered that I should have taken a picture of it when we left. It's too bad, really. LOL XDDDDDDDDD

Nevermind, just sharing hahahahahahahahahaha ><

On a Side note. Maybe some of the things Detective Conan are based on real things. Looking APTX up on the web and found this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APTX

A Short part of the page

Aprataxin, also known as APTX, is a human gene.[1]

This gene encodes a member of the histidine triad (HIT) superfamily, some of which have nucleotide-binding and diadenosine polyphosphate hydrolase activities. The encoded protein may play a role in single-stranded DNA repair. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ataxia-ocular apraxia. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene, however, the full length nature of some variants has not been determined.[1

Could this be the possible youthinizer that is behind the BO. Could the BO be Real?

Later

Well of course it's taken from a real things. That's why Haibara was able to say long explanations about APTX ^^  ;)

No, I think it's Apoptoxin, from "Apoptosis", one of the common PCDs (Programmed Cell Deaths). It's what the drug does anyway - killing cells rapidly. Apoptosis is considered advantageous to humans though :P

This is what I heard

->the 4869 from APTX4869 really refers to sherlock holmes, pronounced as 'shiyaroku' in japanese  (4-shi 8-ha (short for hachi) 6-ro (short for roku) and 9-ku (or kyu))
