| I heard about the discovery (classification, really) of the proto-hominid fossil, but I didn't realize (a) the fossil has been in circulation, in two parts, since the 80's, and (b) the fossil includes not only a complete skeleton, but a fleshcast, including digestive tract. The full report (with links to full-size images) is over here. |

Presenting: PediSedate, a combination headset/anesthesia delivery device for use with kids, who may be scared of anesthetic procedures. Plug the audio into an audio jack (the site mentions Gameboy by name), plug the 'snorkel' into the gas, and away you go. Setting aside the obvious use of the clipart as photoshop fodder, I'm guessing this technology will be standard on airlines, and optional on SUVs/minivans, within five years. |
