Fill ‘Er Up With Human Fat – Forbes.com

How a Beverly Hills doctor powered his SUV using his patients’ spare tires.

Liposuctioning unwanted blubber out of pampered Los Angelenos may not seem like a dream job, but it has its perks. Free fuel is one of them.

For a time, Beverly Hills doctor Craig Alan Bittner turned the fat he removed from patients into biodiesel that fueled his Ford SUV and his girlfriend’s Lincoln Navigator.

Pretty ingenious if you ask me.

Google’s Top 10 Search Term’s of ‘08

without comments

Oh if it weren’t for Big Brother, we just wouldn’t know!

‘Sarah Palin’ Was ‘08 Fastest-Rising Search Term | Newsweek Technology | Newsweek.com

It’s the end of the world as we know it: As if failing
banks and a rising jobless rate weren’t enough to worry about, the
Large Hadron Collider, a particle accelerator lying under the
Franco-Swiss border, has inspired bigger fears. Doomsday-inclined
scientists say the apparatus, 17 miles in circumference, could
accidentally produce black holes or hypothetical particles known as
strangelets, either of which would destroy the earth. (It was switched
on in early September, to no disastrous effect.) Such science-fiction
outcomes helped make “particle accelerator” or “Large Hadron Collider”
one of the fastest-rising search terms in New Zealand, Austria and
other countries. The French and Swiss, despite sitting on top of the
device, were strangely unworried.

Classic…

Another in jail for cussing | Cincinnati Enquirer | Cincinnati.Com

As Koenig and Brautigam turned to walk away from the judge, Brautigam called Koenig “a (bleeping) liar.”

“He used the famous F-word,” Koenig said. “(Ruehlman) asked Mr. Brautigam if he said that.”

Brautigam admitted he had and had directed it at Koenig.

Ruehlman cited Brautigam for contempt and sent him to jail for six months.

“I had to give him six months because I gave the other guy (on Wednesday) six months,” Ruehlman said.

What the Fuck is this world coming too… Lets waste more tax payers money on something stupid. 6 months! come on…… If you want to throw him in jail overnight fine make your point… but fucking 6 months….. retarded

The walls that line human coronary arteries have been imaged for the first time in 3-D, a team of researchers says. Such images will allow cardiologists to see inside patients’ arteries more clearly and check for areas of inflammation or plaque deposits that can cause a heart attack.

Yet another reason not to play online poker

without comments

‘60 Minutes’ report: How online gamblers unmasked cheaters | Digital Media – CNET News

And as Witteles found out, it wasn’t, at least on a popular Internet site called “Absolute Poker.” His suspicions were first aroused in a high stakes game of Texas Hold ‘Em, against what he thought was an incompetent, and lucky, amateur using the screen name “Grey Cat.”

“This Grey Cat person was new. And at first, he seemed like a live one. He seemed terrible,” Witteles remembers. “He seemed to play crazy. It seemed like he was giving his money away. Except the only thing was, he wasn’t losing. He was playing in a style that was sure to lose, but he was killing the game day after day.”

While Witteles was losing $15,000 to the apparent novice, other high stakes players began to notice improbable and endless winning streaks on Absolute Poker’s sister site, “Ultimate Bet.”

“What I saw did not make any sense,” he remembers. “This account was simply winning too much money for the type of game that he was playing. And he was doing it by never having the worst hand. When the other person was bluffing, he would always go all in. When the other person had some kind of made hand, he would always fold.”

Ravitch says it was like he knew what everybody’s cards were.
