When they make a pregnancy simulator for men that makes the wearer simultaneously vomit and cry and then stand up and demand a coconut popsicle, then I will call it "High-Tech".

This is just a glorified camelbak that moves.

It really is a shame that everyone reads/loves Slaughterhouse-Five and that it is Vonnegut's most famous work. In all honesty it was my least favorite of his books.

My mother, who grew up in the 60s and 70s, read Vonnegut all the time and still claims Cat's Cradle is her favorite (it is my husband's favorite as well). When she loaned me all her old first editions to read, she didn't even bother with Slaughterhouse-Five until I protested, wanting to at least know what everyone loved about it. Not great in my opinion.

My favorite will always be Sirens of Titan. Though not a fav of Vonnegut himself, it is such a fun and entertaining read. It carries many of the same themes as SH5; war, humanity, space & time travel, etc. I wish schools would assign it instead of SH5. (My high school pummeled the crap out of us with WWII books and assignments - and after having to do a speech on how the gas chambers worked, I promptly decided ever to research it again.)

My father works with a man who is also an EMT in Chicago. He has undergone 2 back surgeries and is now forced to work from home on a computer instead of out in the field with my Dad because of his injuries from lifting obese people. He complained that over the last 20 years its been getting worse. He loved being an EMT but had to give it up because of his injuries.

That conversation got my Dad thinking and my father has lost over 100 lbs (down to 180 lbs!) in the last year or so. It prompted my mom to lose 60 (down to 135 lbs!). They know they are in their 50s and not on meds at all. The idea that, if necessary, they could be hurting the people trying to potentially save their lives made my mother physically sick and it prompted them to take action. It has even prompted me to lose the 30 stubborn pounds I've carried around for years.

Obese people should be ashamed of this new ambulance. Why are we all forced to accommodate others who have no self control?

People do this all the time, it is not a new concept. It is called Mail Art Exchange. Artists exchange with each other, friends, kids. I had an exchange going with myself and a bunch of my art school friends, until we all got to busy to continue.

Yea, that's crazy. I agree with the above. Maybe women prefer clean shaven over a five o'clock shadow. Maybe longer hair over shorter. Maybe the guy on the rights face is more symmetrical than the guy on the left. The guy on the right has softer features but a more defined chin then the rounder faced smug looking guy on the left. Tone has nothing to do with those two.
