Subject: Mmm, blood

I was reading New Scientist and came across this article on a new artificial
blood, currently in the very preliminary stages:

New artificial blood shows promise
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99994760

I notice that the new formula has a couple of interesting properties: first, it
seems that it is actually *better* at oxygenation than the real thing. I always
wondered how Nick could function with only on heartbeat every 10 minutes; now I
know that it's possible that vampire blood (which we already know has other
amazing properties) is actually better than human blood. Second, this artificial
blood substitute contains polyethylene glycol (PEG); used as anti-freeze, and
for preserving green wood
(http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.asp?SID=&ccurrency=1&page=20080&category=1,1
90,42942), PEG also made the news back in 1985, when it was discovered that
winemakers were using small amounts of it to sweeten wine.

So much for that nasty taste of iron filings from previous blood substitutes...

Your very humble & most obedient servant,

Subject: FK Moment

I was listening to one of those guided relaxation meditation CDs, and
when I heard cows mooing amidst the background sound, I nearly burst
out laughing.

For some bizarre reason, I was picturing Nick trying to get cow blood
the old fashioned way, and suddenly looking startled because he was
hearing the same thing I was, the guided instructions.

Somehow, I don't think that's the effect that was intended.
