"Lifesaver Bottle" Filters Viruses Out of Water
gihan_ripper writes "British inventor Michael Pritchard has developed a small self-contained filter system that instantly cleans water, removing all particles larger than 15nm. He said that he was inspired after seeing the effects of Hurricane Katrina and the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004; people had to wait for many days to get fresh water and many died from drinking contaminated water. The filter is so effective that it can purify dirty river water and even fecal matter. His bottle will shortly be available for sale from Lifesaver Systems at an expected cost of £190 (approx. $385)."
Until it can turn my pee into water, I don't see the usefulness.
Day 1
Mommy, I am only 8 inches long, but I have all my organs. I love the sound of your voice. Every time I hear it, I wave my arms and legs. The sound of your heart beat is my favorite lullaby.
Day 2
Mommy, today I learned how to suck my thumb. If you could see me, you could definitely tell that I am a baby. I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though. It is so nice and warm in here.
Day 3
You know what Mommy, I'm a girl!! I hope that makes you happy. I always want you to be happy. I don't like it when you cry. You sound so sad. It makes me sad too, and I cry with you even though you can't hear me.
Day 4
Mommy, my hair is starting to grow. It is very short and fine, but I will have a lot of it. I spend a lot of my time exercising. I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes, and stretch my arms and legs. I am becoming quite good at it too.
Day 5
You went to the doctor today. Mommy, he lied to you. He said that I'm not a baby. I am a baby Mommy, your baby. I think and feel. Mommy, what's abortion?
Day 6
I can hear that doctor again. I don't like him. He seems cold and heartless. Something is intruding my home. The doctor called it a needle. Mommy what is it? It burns! Please make him stop! I can't get away from it! Mommy!! HELP me!! No . . .
Day 7
Mommy, I am okay. I am in Jesus's arms. he is holding me. He told me about abortion. Why didn't you want me Mommy?
One more heart that was stopped. Two more eyes that will never see. Two more hands that will never touch. Two more legs that will never run. One more mouth that will never speak.
REPOST THIS IF U HATE ABORTION
We buy first aid kits because we *do* expect to get hurt, sooner or later. We usually *don't* buy first aid kits until *after* we've been hurt at least once, because until it happens to us when we're unprepared, we don't worry about it. (how many college freshmen have a first aid kit in their dorm room, that wasn't given to them by their parents? In my experience: zero)
Do you know anybody who paid more for a car to get air bags? I don't. The cars just come that way now. You can't buy a car without them.
Insurance for your house is *required* by the bank that holds your mortgage. Same as fire and theft insurance for a car that you're still making payments on. The bank won't let you not buy that insurance.
If you don't expect to die, you're a fool. It happens to all of us. When to buy life insurance is determined by how much extra cash you have lying around, and how soon you expect to kick off. I'm 37 and living paycheck to paycheck. I don't buy life insurance.
Care to make any other sarcastic comments that have no merit?
Nothing to see here. Move along.
The problems in Katrina were caused by BLACKS. Just BLACKS doing what BLACKS always do- swaggering around aimlessly, looking for victims to rob, rape, and shoot. Then they blame whitey.
See? That's exactly what happened with Katrina. Blacks were too stupid and arrogant to leave. Then they blamed whitey. See the pattern? That's the hell on earth that Amerika is heading too, mighty fast...
