I am trying to get this circulated on MySpace. I was trying to think of ways to get the word out, and some of my friends repost anything and everything, and some have 100000000000 friends, so I figured it'd be a great way to get people to join. Added the team 33 for the cause! 
Anyone on MySpace should post a similar bulletin. It might get some great returns!
---- Here's what I posted: ---
I know everyone here has a computer, why not put it to a good use when you're not using it? You can download a small program that runs in the background. It's called Folding@Home, run by Stanford University. It simulates how proteins fold and the mistakes that cause certain diseases. So, why not put your computer to work and help us find a cure? Oh yea, help out a friend and put in Team 33 (We're #1!!). You can do anonomously, or with your name.
Download the program here: <a href="http://folding.stanford.edu/">Folding@Home</a>

Help us out? Repost if you think that saving lives is good!

Stanford's goal: to understand protein folding, protein aggregation, and related diseases
What are proteins and why do they "fold"? Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out their biochemical function, they remarkably assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, remains a mystery. Moreover, perhaps not surprisingly, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious effects, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, and Parkinson's disease.
What does Folding@Home do? Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. Stanford uses novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. This has allowed us to simulate folding for the first time, and to now direct Stanford's approach to examine folding related disease.
How can you help? You can help Stanford's project by downloading and running their client software. Stanford's algorithms are designed such that for every computer that joins the project, Stanford gets a commensurate increase in simulation speed.
