Lung Cancer Cookies by Cakehead Loves Evil.
The surprising part of this piece is that the whole thing is edible, down to the cigarette butts and ash. The detail and vividness it invokes gives it an extra sense of surrealism. The question of course is not so much are you willing to eat it, but do you think it will taste good? That is food for thought.

I am super happy to go into anesthesia. One of our professional publications had an article on alien abduction. It related to sleep paralysis. Anesthesia is such a broad field. I could specialize in knowledge of the vocal cords or of consciousness. Isn’t that neat?
I’m in love with these kind of old style TV science demonstrations.
We’re in love with this gif.

In this case it was the owner. Ok, bad joke. :P

Its funny. People love watching active user graphs on social media sites, but as we have seen no one has been able to really cash in on their users. They can attract them, and investors throw money with the hopes it will translate to advertising dollars. Look look we have even more users than last quarter! Even if this graph was still rising, it has no correlation to profits. I do not get it. Right now sites are sitting on mines of data/users that are only worth anything as long as investors place value in them. Everyone is still just holding onto the promise.

Significant growth of osteopathic medical education:
Nearly 4,200 medical students graduated this year from one of the nation’s 26 Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, compared with just 2,536 graduates a decade ago.
However, the number of residency positions has remained the same, and in many specialties has decreased. The AOA is trying to shunt students into their unfilled primary care residency positions. This becomes a potential problem when schools boast to prospective students who are told osteopaths practice in every specialty. What they are not told is some of these specialties only offer a handful of positions. Increasing class sizes and opening new schools has the potential to breed resentment among students, and not a desired enthusiasm for primary care.
