Velocity of an Unladen Swallow

A tip of the hat to DrQu+xum at MCiOS:Hyperlink Game for this link. Finally we can rest. We can sleep without waking up in the middle of the night, shouting “But how fast?! How fast do they travel?! Tell me!” Because now Jonathan Corum has estimated the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow.

New body parts

I actually watched the news yesterday, and for once I saw something that almsot made me jump up and down from joy. A new insulin device for diabetic. A small round disc with enough insulin for three months that they insert into the body of the diabetic. The diabetic can control the injection with a remote control at any time a day without much hassle.

It has a little bit more miles to go of course, it was a bit bulky and not invisable when hidden in the body, but still. It works and it helps the lives of those affected. Together with the implants that make blind people see, news such as this is fun. Human engineering is turning out to really be human engineering. I can’t help to wonder what’s next.
