DIY Tracheotomy…
Could you take a knife to your throat and cut? Not sure I could, but this man has done so, not once but twice. And in doing so, has become his own savior. Seems his throat swelled up to the point where he could not breathe and afraid that the emergency services would not […]

Sexbolt Saturday: Put Down the Viagra if You’re Shooting for Baby

See, while standbys like Viagra, Levitra and Cialias are great for bringing willy to attention, it seems this class […]

Bodybuilding and Steriods - Are They for Real?

Check out these pictures over at Life in the Fast Lane.
You will not believe your eyes.
My first thought when I saw them was ‘they can’t be for real’ but apparently they are…
My second thought - how in the world would they ever find clothes that fit…
My third thought - why in the world would they […]

Ready, Aim…Pee.

Most of us use the toilet, well, to put it delicately, to relieve the body of no longer needed products.
But for two Belgian beer fans, that’s simply not enough. Seems that they think you should be able to relieve yourself and shot aliens or slalom down ski slopes at the same time.

Obesity and Global Warming: One Man’s Personal View.

Okay, so enough with what the scientists are saying about ‘obesity and global warming’. I want to hear what the man on the street blogosphere has to say about it all.
Luckily, I’ve found just the man.
Israel over at Fatman Unleashed was ahead of the game on this one. He weighed in on the subject last month with this […]

We’ve been talking quite a bit about the intriguing topic of longevity lately. And if living to a ripe old age is on your “To Do” list, you may want to consider gaining a higher education.
So, does that mean those with a college degree will live longer than their less-educated counterparts? Perhaps.

Harnessing Human Energy - A Green Microgym.

Could this be the wave of the future - human-powered energy-generating gyms.
I have a hard enough time getting to any gym. But maybe I’d be more enthusiatic if I knew that my sweat (and tears) was able to generate enough electricity to power a music system or DVD player.
There’s a guy in Seattle who is working […]

Doctors Playing God? The ‘Live and Let Die’ List.

‘To treat or not to treat’ in the event of a widespread pandemic or disaster is a question that has always haunted health professionals.
Now a group of physicians think that they might have the answer on how to deal this this issue. A task force drawn from universities, medical groups, the military and government agencies […]

A Visit to the Anatomical Theatre.

Some people photograph landscapes. Others like cityscapes. And still others like to photograph wildlife. But New York based photographer Joanna Ebenstein likes to photograph medical artifacts.
