Hmm. That's a tough question. I have a great fondness for bears. At this point I can only state tartigrade ≠ bear.

That's just ridiculous.

EDIT: The planet/stars perspective pics, that is.

I have the stars hanging on my wall. Mind bending.

Goes well with your race car bedframe, huh?

I put a bit of a faith in a coordination effect.

ie, we generally agree that purple is close to blue and yellow is close to orange, and all the gradients between.

Dude Has 75 Percent of His Skull Replaced By 3D-Printed Replica

A man has had the first ever 3D-printed skull-replacement fitted, swapping out a whole 75 per cent of the bone in his head for a man-made replacement.

The unnamed man, from the US, first had his skull scanned to create a digital replica, before the large replacement plate was printed out. It has specially designed textures and holes in the polyetherketoneketone structure to encourage the growth of cells and bone, and the technique could prove invaluable in replacement of other bone-damaged bits.

Oxford Performance Materials, the company behind the implant, thinks that there's no reason these 3D-printed bone replacements couldn't be used to repair other damaged areas, like limbs. Is this the start of the body-part replacement trend? Will we soon be upgrading our skeletons, Wolverine style? Who knows, but at least you know if you break your nut you'll now be able to just print out a replacement.

This thing looks like a bad sewing job from middle school home economics.

This is important. Spread the word guys....

It's in every bit of humidity and rain and dust you take in...

If it's accurate that would require a 2nd scotch and a phone call...

It's nose looks like a shower head.

If high school/college sciences classes were taught by guys like that I don't think the US would be so behind academically.
