Oddly enough, I just read this in Scientific American the other day: Quote: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=regrowing-human-limbs&print=true One of the most encouraging signs that human limb regeneration is a feasible goal is the fact that our fingertips already have an intrinsic ability to regenerate. This observation was made first in young children more than 30 years ago, but since then similar findings have been reported in teenagers and even adults. Fostering regeneration in a fingertip amputation injury is apparently as simple as cleaning the wound and covering it with a simple dressing. If allowed to heal naturally, the fingertip restores its contour, fingerprint and sensation and undergoes a varying degree of lengthening. The success of this conservative treatment of fingertip amputation injuries has been documented in medical journals thousands of times. Interestingly, the alternative protocol for such injuries typically included operating to suture a skin flap over the amputation wound, a “treatment” that we now know will inhibit regeneration even in the salamander because it interferes with formation of the wound epidermis. The profound message in these reports is that human beings have inherent regenerative capabilities that, sadly, have been suppressed by some of our own traditional medical practices. So if you ever cut off a fingertip, now you know what to do. _________________ Classical guitar cover of "Combinations": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkIpDhvbd2o |

Cell phones and worker safety don't mix. The same with cell phones and driving. No cell phone equals greater mental acuity and fewer accidents. Turn off your phone Weston. Hopefully Weston's supervisor gave him a stern admonishment. _________________

sawzalls (SP) always make me think of when I had a plumbing job on fire island with my friend, me and my friend were digging a trench from the water main to some other pipe so we could lay pipe down, but there were lots of roots, so we called our boss and asked if he could deliver us a sawzall so we could cut the roots because it was SUCH a pain in the ass, so he comes by and gives us the sawzall that we later learned was without a battery. edit: just realized that was a "you had to be there" story. disregard. edit 2: also realized how many homo-erotic innuendos are in that story. haha. also disregard. |

Most people would not have said anything about said innuendos if you didn't mention it. That being said, I think I found about four of them. |

i am going to have to wear a glove on my left hand only. And tell people, "You should see the other guy!" This was the best line tho: Weston wrote: right when it happened i looked at my boss and said "give me some whiskey and a match!" Hah, that Weston is such a cut-up....  That was such a good line, I am going to have to use that the next time I injure myself at work. And I like your signature! 
I'm glad you like that quote. Ha, yeah.  You put in words what I consider a fundamental difference between those of us who 'get' their music and those who don't, so I thought it fitting to use as my sig. _________________ http://www.twitter.com/drstrangeblog http://www.last.fm/user/getinline I can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read. |

Weston looks pretty happy in Sherri's latest journal post-- Just wondering about Wes' thumb... it's been about two months since that nasty Sawzall accident. Does anybody know how it healed up? Hope it's OK!! _________________ Dan and daughter, Samantha - We Love Eisley! |
