The 6 Weirdest, Scariest Processed Foods

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:04:33 GMT

clipped by: venushugstress
clipper's remarks: What's in your lunch?

1. Spray-Can 'Easy Cheese

containing lots of unhealthy crap, such as the stain-removing chemical trisodium phosphate and a healthy dose of canola oil that keeps the cheese from solidifying.

2. Oreo Cookie Death Filling

is basically sugar-flavored Crisco.

it even inspired an ill-fated lawsuit in California a few years back

3. Condensed Soups

contains a heart-stopping 890 mg of sodium, or roughly 37 percent of your daily recommended sodium intake.

4. Spam

derived primarily from pork shoulder meat (seriously) and combined with water, sugar, sodium nitrate (of course) and copious amounts of salt.

5. Artificially Flavored Blueberry Bits

ingredients include sugar, dextrose, soybean oil, soy protein, salt, citric acid, cellulose gum, artificial flavor, malic acid, Red 40 Lake, Blue 2 Lake and…that’s it.

Kraft’s Avocado-Free Guacamole

modified food starch, coconut and soybean oils, corn syrup, food coloring…in other words, you’re eating green-colored oil.

Man controlled robotic hand with thoughts

ROME — An Italian who lost his left forearm in a car crash was successfully linked to a robotic hand, allowing him to feel sensations in the artificial limb and control it with his thoughts, scientists said Wednesday.

During a one-month experiment conducted last year, 26-year-old Pierpaolo Petruzziello felt like his lost arm had grown back again, although he was only controlling a robotic hand that was not even attached to his body.

The challenge for scientists now will be to create a system that can connect a patient's nervous system and a prosthetic limb for years, not just a month.

While the "LifeHand" experiment lasted only a month, this was the longest time electrodes had remained connected to a human nervous system in such an experiment, said Silvestro Micera, one of the engineers on the team. Similar, shorter-term experiments in 2004-2005 hooked up amputees to a less-advanced robotic arm with a pliers-shaped end, and patients were only able to make basic movements, he said.

clipper's remarks: This is a cool site!

I don't care if you think you're not pretty
To my eyes you're the lights of the city
It doesn't matter if you get sad
I can just hold you til things aren't so bad
It doesn't matter if you're far away
Because we get closer every day
I don't care if you think you're not smart
You were pretty genius when you captured my heart
It doesn't matter if you get scared
I get scared too, maybe that's why we're paired
It doesn't matter what flaws you have
I'll love you just as I always have
<3

A Dog, a Cat & a Rat, WOW!

clipper's remarks: Animals never cease to amaze me.

Clip Source: treebeard31.wordpress.com

This is a video of a homeless guy in Santa Barbara and his pets. You can see these guys every week working State St. for donations.

The animals, as you can see, are pretty well fed, and they are a family.

The man who owns them rigged a harness up for his cat so she wouldn’t have to walk so much (like the dog and himself). At some juncture the rat came along, and as no one wanted to eat anyone else, the rat started riding with the cat and often, on the cat! The dog will stand all day and let you talk to him and admire his altruistic, we are one, personality for a few chin scratches.

The Mayor of Santa Barbara filmed this clip and sent it out as a Christmas card.

Frozen tidalwaves in the Antarctic

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 05:59:20 GMT

clipped by: venushugstress
clipper's remarks: The water froze the instant the wave broke through the ice. That's what it is like in Antarctica. Water freezes the instant it comes in contact with the air. The temperature of the water is
already some degrees below freezing. Just look at how the wave froze in midair?

realistic baby dolls out of lumps of clay

clipped by: venushugstress
clipper's remarks: These dolls are so delicate it's hard to believe they started out as lumps of clay. People's talents amazes me!

Clip Source: treebeard31.wordpress.com

Camille Allen -British Columbia, Canada makes baby dolls out of clay…would you believe it…? She learned this art of creating realistic miniature dolls of baby infants from her husband’s grandmother just over 5 years ago….

Starting from detailed photographs and a lump of professional clay such as Cernit or Prosculpt., sculpting a lifesize or miniature baby begins. It takes many, many hours of patient concentration to form a realistic baby and finish with fine details - including wrinkles and fingernails...she says.
