I'm Dying To Try This Out

From http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/06/29/zombie_dogs/ and http://www.safar.pitt.edu/

US scientists have succeeded in reviving the dogs after three hours of clinical death, paving the way for trials on humans within years.

Pittsburgh's Safar Centre for Resuscitation Research has developed a technique in which subject's veins are drained of blood and filled with an ice-cold salt solution.

The animals are considered scientifically dead, as they stop breathing and have no heartbeat or brain activity.

But three hours later, their blood is replaced and the zombie dogs are brought back to life with an electric shock.

Isn't it just so negative to be pointing out problems? Mike, those google ads sit over the last centimetre or so of your writing on my screen. Any modifications you could make to alleviate this misery would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, mate.

OK.. that's just freaky. It's worse than Sixth Day... no way would I want one of our pets (or PEOPLE!!!) raised from the dead. I mean, what about brain damage... ack.

Suzette: sorry. I will tweak out the design.
Cheryl: Have you met our cat, Max? Brain damage would improve his reasoning. Every cat for that matter could do with some time out in the land of the dead... (oooOOOOooo).

A-Morning Cancelled... again

A-Morning From A-Channel or A-TV or whatever it will be after the next takeover has been canceled effective IMMEDIATELY. The A-Morning crew would crow over how many episodes they had ("This is Episode 120, Eric!"). I thought that they were feeling that Wile-E.-Coyote-off-the-cliff sensation too. When the last owner of the channel had to cut back they nailed the morning show. Then a new owner rolled out a morning show in markets like Victoria. They dusted off the format and started doing the show again. Monday morning, I popped into a Thrifty's where Maggie Cox was wrapping up her live spot. There she was amid more lights than a Hollywood premier and more cables than a Frankenstein movie. All of her gear and personal effects filled a shopping buggy. I felt a little bit of pity. When I see the same people in front of the camera at 6AM and 5PM and 11PM, I think: "Where is Labour Relations? How can these people be forced to pepper a 17 hour day with three newscasts?"
