No,no, no! MS brings no innovation. Kinect is a cool product, but you have to be careful and not mention it in the same sentence as MS or you get cognitive dissonance-induced universal explosion. Or just an angry/. crowd, whichever is worse.
What you refer to is called Foreign Body Reaction which is pretty much how you described it: a reaction that encapsulates the foreign body so it is effectively "outside" of the body (i.e. separated from it). I am not sure this is related to what causes blood to clot outside of blood vessels.
I wonder if it really was rejection or just an infection. A Google searched showed every site using the term "rejection", but since they just copy-paste from one another, I don't take it as evidence. Rejection is an immune reaction against an implanted tissue/organ. It is usually against certain proteins on cells, so it is a bit strange to have a rejection to a few screws in the head. OTOH, any foreign body can harbor bacteria and cause in infection - which would cause "near-constant pain". But I guess "reject" sounds cooler, facts be damned.
The summary look like curing cancer is a matter of very simple solution. I doubt this.
A small story: The king summoned all of his scientists and told them he had a great idea how to beat the kingdom's sea-ferring enemies. "I suggest," he said "that when our enemies come with their ships, we lower the sea level by a few meters. This way all their ships will crush on the sea floor. When we raise the sea level again, all of their soldiers will drawn and we will win." All the scientists said it was a great idea, but how the hell do you lower the sea level by a few meters? "I don't know," replied the king "I think of the ideas, it is your job to make them work".
Variations on this quote have been attributed to Martin Luther, although Bartlett's Familiar Quotations names Johann Heinrich Voss (1751–1826) as a more likely source.
Or, it is fun. You know, a thing you do with no tangible benefit, just for... yeah, fun! I, in general, don't like sports (i.e. watching sports). I come from Israel where people go gaga over soccer; I can't stand that game. 90 minutes of boredom. Basketball I mainly watch when an Israeli teams plays on the Euroleague, but that's it. The only sport I do enjoy watching is (American) Football. After you learn the basic rules, you find out it is an interesting game with lots of teamwork, something that cannot be said on most other sports. So, yes, I am going to sit at home at 2AM and watch the game on Monday (Sunday in the US). But don't let me stop your trolling. You were saying?
I believe you refer to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a genetic disease cause by a mutation in the gene for one of the structural proteins in the muscle. They kids having this disease do have bulky-looking muscles, but it is not really muscle tissue but actually fatty tissue and the phenomenon is called pseudohypertrophy (hypertrophy is when a tissue gains mass; pseudo- - you get the gist of it).
Environmental vegetarians would look at the impact compared to crop growing and make a rational decision.
I hope they make a rational decision. God knows many times these organisations choose an ideological path, and don't let logic and evidence stand in their way.
But it would be nice to see the excuses they come up with to resolve the cognitive dissonance. I mean, will they be honest and say "there is no ethical problem with eating vat meat, but I personally don't like the taste," or will they find some stupid excuse why it is also not ethical to eat vat meat. Could be an interesting social experiment.

And the best part, I heard a quote that "the army leadership will do its best to organize democratic elections". Army? Democracy? Hilarious!

No, no, no, he meant: "After he went and fuck in bathroom, shortly after he could be forgiven for thinking he was seeing double."
There is no spoon.

Thanks, didn't know that.
I know a good repository.
Now that you mention it, I think I have this book. Probably forgot this story. And I do remember him bragging about the shortest story he wrote.
Thanks, but now I can't read it. Spoiler :)

Say it with me people, the "food crisis" is a political (and to a lesser extent, economical) problem, not a scientific problem.
"The 'food crisis' is a political..." Sorry, you should come up with better tag-line. Not catchy enough.
