HOW IS THE INTERNET RESPONDING TO A LOOMING PANDEMIC

This is going on in China today.

A tribute to medical workers in Wuhan.

Nurses from different parts of China cut each other’s hair in preparation for deployment to Wuhan, the epicenter of the Novel Coronavirus outbreak.

Dr. Liang Wudong who treated hundreds of Novel Coronavirus patients in Wuhan got infected and became the first doctor to die from 2019-nCoV.

PEOPLE NOT LIKE THE REST OF US

Because if I was omnipresent and all-powerful that's what I would do...prove I had a sense of humor.

What is the subject of all these photographs?

I lost my virginity to a girl who wore a dress like that before I defiled her for like 2 minutes. 

Here's a hint...

Photos are from a gallery of prom photos of Ukrainian teenagers.
Why so much shoelessness?

I knew a guy who collected his toe jam in a little decorative bottle.

BAD PEOPLE

If you can't manipulate your child without violence then you should just put it up for adoption.

Corey Curnutt (25) and Savannah Grillot (29) of Visalia, California were arrested on four counts of assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy charges. The married couple was accused of planting "bait bikes" in front of their house, and when someone tried to take the bikes, the couple would run outside wielding aluminum baseball bats and beat the would-be thieves. They recorded the incidents and posted them on YouTube. Neighbors complained that there would be blood all over the sidewalk and street.

In-Flight Surgery Using Fork, Knife, Coat Hanger, and Cognac

 When the flight attendant asks the passengers, "Is there a doctor on board?" you may be in for an adventure. Do you respond if you're a veterinarian or a psychiatrist? It might depend on the emergency. For a 1995 case, two doctors, Angus Wallace and Tom Wong were flying British Airways from Hong Kong to London and realized that a woman who had fallen before takeoff was in worse shape than they initially knew. A fractured rib had punctured her lung, causing a pneumothorax. The air leaking into her chest cavity could kill her during descent, so an emergency landing was not an option.

With the limited medical equipment on board, Wallace and Wong had to improvise heavily. The medical kit had lidocaine – a local anesthetic – but the catheter in the kit was designed only for urinary catheterization and was too soft for use as a chest tube. The doctors fashioned a trocar from a metal clothes hanger to stiffen the catheter and a check valve from a bottle of water with holes poked in the cap. They sterilized their equipment in Courvoisier cognac and began surgery by making an incision in the patient's chest, but with no surgical clamps available, Wong had to hold the incision open with a knife and fork while Wallace inserted the catheter. The whole surgery lasted about ten minutes; the doctors successfully released the trapped air from the patient's chest, and she spent the rest of the flight uneventfully eating and watching in-flight movies.

Do you think it has stayed in one family all that time?

Somebody make one of those and let me know if it really works as advertised.

Drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it's impossible to say if it's bad or not.

GET LEARNT

Once upon a time, way way before the innovation of agriculture, a group of early humans sat down for a meal inside a cave which is located today on the border of South Africa and Swaziland. The main course was cooked over an open fire.

Some of the meal, however, was charred and beyond eating. It was lost in the ashes, and it remained there in the same place for nearly 200,000 years. Scientists were able to find out what food this group of early humans cooked.
Previously it was known that starchy foods made for good eating in Middle Stone Age Africa, based on findings of plant matter at the Klasies River Cave to the southwest. The new paper, published in the journal Science, analyzed finds from Border Cave, as it’s known, and was able to identify that a starchy foodstuff was eaten there as well—underground stems called rhizomes, from the genus Hypoxis, a plant group that includes what is known today as yellow star or African potato. This pushes back the date of the earliest cooked starches by some 50,000 years, to about 170,000 years ago.

Border Cave also holds a large collection of wooden digging sticks, leading researchers to hypothesize that they were used to harvest the meal. “It seems likely that wooden digging sticks were used to dig the rhizomes from the ground,” says Lyn Wadley, an archaeologist at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa and lead author of the new paper. “The plants are gregarious so quite a few could be harvested from a single place.”

New Aging Study Extended Worm Lifespan By 500 Percent

Aging is a process all of us have to go through until our deaths. But can we slow it down? Scientists were able to prove that we can slow down aging, at least in these worms. By tweaking a couple of cellular pathways, they have extended the lifespan of these worms by a staggering 500 percent.
C. elegans is a humble little worm that often finds itself at the heart of aging studies. That’s because it shares many cellular pathways with humans, and it typically lives for three or four weeks, meaning any changes to that lifespan are quickly apparent and easy to measure.
In plenty of past studies, scientists have managed to use drugs or genetic engineering to increase the lifespan of C. elegans by 50 or 100 percent. If directly applied to the average human lifespan of about 80 years, that would be like living to between 120 and 160 years. But in the new study, the team unexpectedly made the worms live five times longer than usual – the human equivalent of which would be 400 years.
This is not a guarantee that this will translate to humans. However, it should be able to give scientists “a new avenue to explore in developing anti-aging techniques.”

ART AND THE ARTY

My first criteria when appraising art is whether I've seen it before.  I want new and different. This meets that criteria...but it's still not art.
