My old bohemoth car did a better moonwalk than that car.

That's because that car didn't do a moonwalk. But seriously, my van can do the rump shaker. We're waiting for a rap star to sign it for a video.

Headline in Daily Utah Chronicle:

"U of U women vulnerable as UVSC comes to town"


The article, I came to find out, is talking about the U women's basketball team.  But that's not what the headline makes it sound like.  I think it's hilarious.

Oops.  I meant to post that on the quotes thread.  Ah well...   I'm too lazy to move it.

Further up the treatment-development pipeline is a temporary blood replacement. The magic ingredient comes in a tiny bottle, which is filled with small bubbles just 2 microns across. The bubbles in this dodecafluoropentane emulsion swell to double size when they get in the lungs. Once they flow to the rest of the body, the bubbles distribute oxygen more efficiently than normal red blood cells, Vandre said. Forty cubic centimeters -- just 8 teaspoons -- would be as good at delivering oxygen as all of the blood flowing inside a person.

"We've taken mice, drained out all of their blood, and replaced it with a saline solution and this," Vandre said. "They walk around like nothing's happened."

At least for a half hour or so. That's when the bubbles begin to lose their fizz, and the mouse needs its blood back.


Way cool.

It's fake, in case you were wondering. Still amusing though.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
