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.

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).

Why Etsy Sucks

*** DISCLAIMER: I tried and left Etsy some time ago. The recent experiences speak not to Etsy, but to the dynamics and shortcomings of Etsy's model *** I fight crickets. Crickets are that sound you hear when nothing else happens. Comedians hear it when they suck. I hear it when I put something out there and no one notices it. For example, over a year ago, I began re-imagining lawn ornaments as zombies. I dislike lawn ornaments, so I thought it was a befitting response to give the critters an undead patina . In the last year, I sold one, gave one away and then a month or so ago, I got a request to send out another one-- for cash! I mailed it. Supposedly, the address was incorrect, so it meandered back. Canada Post wanted to charge me to send the item, and they wanted to charge me to get it back. I sent it under a rate to be delivered in 5 business days. It took 15 business days to wander back. I was able to argue into not paying to get back what Canada Post failed to deliver. I hea...
