All this time we've been going to the doctor's office, telling we need X-rays because our bones are visibly poking our skin, wishing that we could have bypassed the good ole Doc's prodding and poking because it doesn't take a medical degree to clearly see that something is very wrong. Unfortunately, X-ray machines are expensive, big, very dangerous, and people get paid like $40/hr just to read the x-rays, so it must be hard? It is easier just to home-remedy something like a headache or sore throat. I mean almost everyone has ibuprofen or whiskey sitting around.
But now we can make our own x-rays!!! (Kids: please do not try this at home - unless you really want to and have a vacuum). Apparently clear sticky tape can make its own x-rays. I've never done it, but the article says the if clear sticky tape is pulled off the roll fast enough it produces a spark of light. Well, if the tape is in a vacuum and is unrolled really quickly, it can produce enough x-rays to make the bones of the hand visible, when the hand is outside of the vacuum. That's a lot of potential home cancer/radiation poisoning making right there!
In other news:
It's raining in Philly.
The Phillies couldn't win last night because of the rain and postponment.
Skinheads are trying to kill Obama.
Philly/America hasn't gotten any safer.
People are still making fun of Sarah Palin.
Sounds about par for the course!
Happy Tuesday.
