First Images of a Heart Injected with Liquid Metal

The image there at the top of the page is awesome. A pig's heart, but still. What I wonder is if the pig lived. The scientists think it would be safe for humans. But did it live the first time? The article doesn't say.

Most traditional Christmas songs are really depressing. The tempo is slow and draggy. A lot of the lyrics talk about missing loved ones. Right now I'm listening to Josh Groban singing The Christmas Song. He's got a great voice, but if this was in another key it would be a funeral dirge.

In the most batshit crazy story you'll read today, Archie Comics CEO is being sued by employees for gender discrimination. She allegedly refers to male employees as penis rather than their names and hired Hell's Angels to intimidate them.

Fucking bananas.

The plot for the next season of Sons of Anarchy stealth leaked?

Greatest Christmas song of all time:

 

[Shakey]

Silberkleit contends that the case should be tossed out because white males are not 'a protected class'

 

[GasBandit]

She allegedly refers to male employees as penis rather than their names

"How are you today, Penis?"

"Oh, please, Ma'am, no need to be so formal. Call me Dick."

If none of the employees in question had the above retort, they don't deserve to work in comics.

Wow. Sounds like she went insane.

Injecting gallium into the bloodstream is not recommended at this time.

Well there goes Saturday night's plans...

 

[Eriol]

The article says, "An even bigger question is whether liquid metal can be used to image living tissue, perhaps even in humans." suggesting that so far they've only imaged dead tissue at the moment.

Injecting gallium into the bloodstream is not recommended at this time.

Good catch. Thanks for finding that line. I missed it obviously.

Here's my favorite, for many reasons:

Very very very scary Solstice.

For a white elephant gift exchange tonight, I found a giant Reece's peanut butter cup pack (literally half-pound peanut butter cups). I am wrapping it in 1 Direction wrapping paper just to throw people off.

Included a quarter for scale.

 

[Emrys]

That's not a Reese's peanut butter cup. That's a space station!

 

[WasabiPoptart]

I saw that monster along with a few other giant candies. I think one was a one pound Snickers bar.

 

[David]

"Hope you enjoy these half pound candies!
Just be careful you don't get diabetes!
I'm hoping you don't have nut allergies
'Cause that would be... so-oh...
That would be so terrible!

That would be unbearable!"

Edit: Finished writing it as a note to include in the gift:

Is this enough
Of Reese's cups?
Are you on any diet I'm messing up?
I did the math,
You're gonna laugh.
This whole damn pack has two thousand caloric wrath!

Nobody really needs that much sugar...
Yet here we are giving you-oo...

Baby I Hope you enjoy these half pound candies!
Just be careful you don't get diabetes!
I'm hoping you don't have nut allergies
'Cause that would be... so-oh...
That would be so terrible!

That would be unbearable!

I saw the 1# Snickers for sale at a truck stop.
The "serving suggestion" on the wrapper suggests that you freeze them, then slice them to serve at parties, like some kind of caramel/nougat paté.

Snickers slices on toast points are always a hit.

My mother-in-law sent us a bag of the squares in that flavor and another bag of the caramel ones. Big cellophane bags, not the usual bag the squares come in. I need to give them away before I do something I'll regret.

...like give them to your kids?

 

[WasabiPoptart]

...like give them to your kids?

Yeah...my kids wouldn't eat more than one. Actually, I can hear my son asking if he has to eat it or if he could have something else instead. They're not big candy eaters.

Now ice cream is a whole other story. I shove the bowls at them and move away as fast as I can because I might lose a hand.

I thought I was the only one with strange children. Not big on candy or cake but love Ice Cream/Pudding/Pie .

Cake and cookies are favorites for my kids along with the ice cream. I think my daughter only eats the cake for the icing though. Can't say I blame her. lol

I'd rather put those in brownies.

I swear the little growls and snorts and grunts my dachshund makes as she burrows under my heavy blanket are the most hilarious thing I hear every day. I should try to record it one of these days.

I love confusing people. Someone walked in the front door of the office and yelled "[first name]! are you here?"

"NOPE."

"MOMMY?!?!"
"She's not home!"

For @Dave ? Nay, for @Gusto ? Nay, for @Wasabi Poptart verily!
