A woman who forgot to put on her seat belt, or close her sun roof during a tornado, was sucked out of her car and deposited three hundred feet away.

Growing New Organs
They took a bladder biopsy from each patient and isolated muscle cells and special bladder cells called urothelial cells, which they grew in the lab.
The cells were then placed onto a specially designed bladder-shaped scaffold and left to grow for seven to eight weeks.
The researchers surgically attached the engineered bladder to the patient’s own bladder and followed progress for up to five years.
They’re working on hearts as well. This sort of thing seems inevitable to me, and it’s exciting that it seems to be coming along very quickly, because I (curiously, like everyone I know) am not getting any younger.

Note To Self
Do not use a live 40-mm round as a paperweight:
Part of a teacher’s hand was blown off when a 40 millimeter round the instructor used as a paperweight on his desk exploded in his classroom.
Robert Colla struck the round with an object Tuesday afternoon while teaching 20 to 25 students at the Ventura Adult Education Center.
What was the class, training to become the village idiot?

Another note to self: do not use a 40 mm round as a flyswatter.
