Cell Phone Swim
That's right! My cell phone took a turn for the worst and,
while turning, fell right into a swimming pool, where the chlorine tore it apart and sent it to the BIG wireless company in
the sky! I'm sort of mad that this happened, but this is just an example of the fact that I need more medication for me mental retardation!!!
It all happened at a (pool) party I went to. When we all got into the pool, I took my shirt, shoes, socks, watch, hat, and
wristbands off and got in the pool. After about ten to fifteen minutes of happily swimming, I reached into my pocket to discover
that, in the process of stripping, I had forgotten to empty my pockets!!! Which leaves me wondering... If Korea is a third-world
country, why does this Korean man have a cell phone (although very low tech), but I don't? (Korean Man w/Cell Phone Top

A Hybrid Hamburger (Bottom Right)
ST. LOUIS - What's a health-conscious burger lover to do? The real thing tends to have too many
calories and too much fat, but meatless burgers seem to lack the flavor and consistency of real beef.
St. Louis-based Solae LLC has come up with a solution, a patent-pending invention called SoleCina that involves
both the process and the ingredients to produce either a "hybrid" meat — part soy, part real meat — or a completely
meatless food that tastes like chicken, beef, pork or turkey.
The company said both versions taste — and feel to the mouth — much like real meat, but are much
healthier. For example, a hybrid burger dubbed the "Better Burger" by Solae has two-third the calories and half the fat and
saturated fat as a burger of comparable size.
SoleCina has been in the works for a decade. Details were introduced this week at a gathering of food scientists and technologists
in Orlando, Fla.
Solae is a $1 billion food innovation company that specializes in soy protein — the company has more than a 50 percent
share of the world's isolated soy protein food ingredient market. It makes soy-based ingredients found in hundreds of grocery
store products, including food bars, beverages, snacks and meatless alternatives.
Solae is not saying which manufacturers will use the technology, but products using SoleCina are expected to be on the
market by the end of the year.

Doctor Removes Light Bulb From Anus
MULTAN, Pakistan (Reuters) - Fateh Mohammad, a prison inmate in Pakistan, says he woke up last weekend
with a glass lightbulb in his anus.
Wednesday night, doctors brought Mohammad's misery to an end after a one-and-a-half hour operation
to remove the object.
"Thanks Allah, now I feel comfort. Today, I had my breakfast. I was just drinking water, nothing else,"
Mohammad, a grey-beared man in his mid-40s, told Reuters from a hospital bed in the southern central city of Multan.
"We had to take it out intact," said Dr. Farrukh Aftab at Nishtar Hospital. "Had it been broken inside,
it would be a very very complicated situation."
Mohammad, who is serving a four-year sentence for making liquor, prohibited for Muslims, said he was shocked when he was
first told the cause of his discomfort. He swears he didn't know the bulb was there.
"When I woke up I felt a pain in my lower abdomen, but later in hospital, they told me this," Mohammad said.
"I don't know who did this to me. Police or other prisoners."
The doctor treating Mohammad said he'd never encountered anything like it before, and doubted the felon's story that someone
had drugged him and inserted the bulb while he was comatose.
