clipper's remarks: Say "sulfhaemoglobinaemia" three times, fast! ---

Surgeons operating on a 42-year-old Canadian man got a shock when they discovered dark-green blood coursing through his arteries, like Star Trek's Mr Spock.

Stunned, the medical team immediately sent his blood for analysis. The test revealed the blood discolouration was caused by sulfhaemoglobinaemia, which occurs when a sulphur atom gets incorporated into the oxygen-carrying haemoglobin protein in blood.

Doctors suspected that the patient's migraine medication caused the condition. "It is possible that our patient’s arguably excessive intake of sumatriptan, which contains a sulfonamide group, caused his sulfhaemoglobinaemia," they say.

The centre of the Bible, and more importantly, the central truth of the Bible

The chapters in the Bible are not part of the original scriptures, but this exercise is still interesting.
Psalm 117	Is the shortest chapter in the Bible
Psalm 119	Is the longest chapter in the Bible
Psalm 118	This chapter is at the centre of the Bible
There are 594	chapters in the Bible before Psalm 118
There are 594	chapters in the Bible after Psalm 118
1188 chapters.	This number can be split 118-8 or Psalm 118:8

Isn't it odd how this little word exercise worked out, or was God in the center of it all? I think He was and still is today! Should this central verse not have a fairly important message? It does.
Psalm 118:8	"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. "

Quadriplegic Man Dies in Jail for First Time Marijuana Charge

Washington, DC: A 27-year-old quadriplegic man sentenced to serve ten days in a Washington, DC jail on charges that he possessed a minor amount of marijuana died while in custody last week due to inadequate health care, including prison officials' failure to provide him with a ventilator.

The victim, Jonathan Magbie, had been paralyzed from the neck down since the age of four, was unable to breath on his own, and required nursing care 20 hours a day.

Magbie was sentenced to spend ten days in jail on September 20, 2004 after pleading guilty to one charge of marijuana possession. Though prosecutors had recommended probation, the judge in the case ordered Magbie to serve jail time - noting that the defendant had told pre-sentence investigators that he would continue using marijuana because it made him feel better.
