Doctor Invents 'Zero Gravity' Radiation Suit 83

DrFrasierCrane writes "You think you feel weighed down when your dentist lays that lead apron on you to take X-rays: how about the doctors who deal with radiation treatments and have to wear those aprons all day long? A Dallas, Texas, doctor has created a 'zero gravity' radiation suit for just that problem. From the article: 'Physicians are supposed to wear a lead apron during those procedures. It is back-breakingly heavy and doesn't cover the body completely. The zero gravity suit eliminates the weight and the exposed openings.'"

I wouldnt stand on that soap box in this economy buddy... Maybe if the movie industry didnt spend so much on special effects which jack up the price of movies... I mean come on! Yeah I like the transformers, but GD Micheal Bay! You can make great movies without a crazy budget!! I miss Stanley Kubrick, I was happy to pay for his movies! But if you want me to keep paying $12 every time an excuse for a director spends hundreds of thousands on yet another explosion/bullet time sequence... You can go f*ck yourself. Im voting Pirate.

Lets stand up to the government! What could they do if we organized and stopped paying taxes until we fix the problems that are making this beautiful land a shi**y place to live. The government has far too much power. If I were him I'd demand to be deported to a country that doesn't suck republican nuts... When are we gonna have another civil war? I say we start a country wide militia and tell the federal government to shape up or get knocked down. That is IF they haven't already put something in the water to keep us submissive.

Secrets of Schizophrenia and Depression "Unlocked" 334

Oracle Goddess writes "According to the US National Institute for Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland, scientists have discovered a remarkable similarity between the genetic faults behind both schizophrenia and manic depression in a breakthrough that is expected to open the way to new treatments for two of the most common mental illnesses, affecting millions of people. Previously schizophrenia and depression were assumed to be two separate conditions, but the new research shows for the first time that both have a common genetic basis that leads people to develop one or the other of the two illnesses."
