Lots of stuff for you, this time around....
PC beats doctor in scan tests: "Experts taught a standard computer how to diagnose Alzheimer's from brain scans, and got a 96% success rate. The accuracy of diagnosis from standard scans, blood tests and interviews carried out by a clinician is 85%."
Hugs From a Lion: Awwww! So frigging cute (thanks,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
superbrad)!
How the West Was Won: Some people survived being scalped.
Who Watches the Doctors?: It sounds like a cheap-ass horror movie, but it's not fiction. "A woman goes into her local hospital for routine minor surgery to remove a tiny lesion on her labia. But just before the anaesthetic is administered, her doctor leans over her - out of earshot of the operating theatre staff. 'I’m going to take your clitoris too,' he whispers."
Ex-Homecoming Queen Beats Sister With Fake Leg In Trailer: Oh dear. I'm overwhelmed by schadenfreude. How positively deliciously trailer-trashy horrible.
B.C. inventor wants to put pop bottle rocket into orbit: Well, I guess it's an alternative to landfill.
‘Human pelican’ guilty of drink driving: Oh lordy.
Raelians Rocket From Clones to Clitorises: Huzzah! Now that's what I call good charity work.
Ultrasound nails location of the elusive G spot: "For the first time it is possible to determine by a simple, rapid and inexpensive method if a woman has a G spot or not."
2 Horse Died After Colliding, Not Because of Foul Play: The title should instead be, dead because of horseplay, not foul play. Or maybe that's just my opinion....
Police Told Daughter To Stop Calling Before Murder-Suicide: "A Central Florida woman whose 17-year-old daughter was killed in a murder-suicide apparently committed by her ex-boyfriend said the teen was told by police to stop calling for help or she'd be arrested." Grr...
Tournament of blood: The sheer horror of horse-fighting: Terrible, yes. But I can't help but relive all my adolescent readings of Black Stallion and Island Stallion novels.
Tattoo implants go awry: Breast implants on a leg?
Barbed Wire Hula Hoop: NSFW. Ow ow ow. OW (thanks,warren_ellis)!
Electronic tattoo display runs on blood: I almost sorta kinda want one of these.
Dubai is Nuts!: Can someone please explain to me what the hell is going on over there?
Bad air blamed for hundreds of deaths: This is where I live. Marvelous (thanks,snowy_kathryn).
Blue Planet: An Underwater Lake: So beautiful. So cool.

Oh wait.

Date: 2008-02-22 06:33 pm (UTC)From:survivors, but there's little out there. I know of
one guy who played dead while they scalped him, got
up and grabbed his scalp after the Indians left,
walked back to town, and charged people money to look
at his scalp floating in a bucket. I've also heard
from my father that if the topknot of muscle at the
crown of the head is cut, that people's faces sag like
hound dogs. But that's about all I know. That link was
fairly unsatisfactory.
There are too many self-serving and juvenile jokes to
make about the G-spot detector. I will stop here.
As for the horse fighting, that article *really* fails
to mention that horses *do* actually fight like that
in the wild -- just usually not to the death/barbecue.
If the air where *you* live is horrible, I wonder how
bad it is where *I* live.
