How i figure it is that people tend to watch tv and movies about things that interest them, but they are too slack to go out and do themselves. Sport for example, how many of the soccer world cup fans actually play soccer at a professional level? Not a lot, most dont even play at an amatuer level or at all, because it is too much effort.
Games however take little effort to play. The majority of people (people that are cripple or lost all their limbs in a tragic soccer-goal-post-falling-over-accident) can play them, and somewhat effectively too. And when you know how to play it well, it gets less interesting, because you are a constant critic of it. If you were watching the world cup CS:S clan tournament, and someone made a blunder (picked a god-awful camping spot and got knifed) you would just be thinking to yourself "what an idiot, you should have gone somewhere else". Not as much fun when you pick out the faults, is it?
It would be interesting to watch videogame competitions, and bet over them. PATENT PENDING....
I don't know about you, but i make the arduous trip to the other hemisphere, by foot, just to get my cold beer and not be sacrilegious. I am also a firm believer that these kittens were not genetically modified from any other kitten, but rather an individual creation by the oh so marvelous spaghetti monster. Ramen.
If an MRI is _needed_ they will pbly do what they do to the people with the old steel plates and pins, just take them out and put them back in after the MRI.
No, but i tend to buy 2 when i first buy a console, as opposed to none. However my $800 will last longer with either a xbox 360 or the wii. I love my dreamcast to death, and i still drag it out every now and then, I just like to play new games as well. My computer isnt great, but it does what i want it to, believe it or not, i use a 17" CRT with 1024*768 resolution, which isnt particuarily great, but it makes my source code look just as good as a 24" widescreen LCD monitor with a massive resolution.
Sure the PS3 costs $600, but add a couple of games on top of that, another controller or 2, then it starts to add up. Then again, havent you heard of a http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=hyperbolehyperbole?
I know 1 person with a HDTV, not only do tehy cost a ridiculous amount, IMO they make TV look bad because of the faults in the original recording, which are blurred out in low definition. I probably won't buy one until the price comes crashing down, and the old technology is phased out. God bless CRT.

The blood cell stem cells develop in the bone marrow, they shouldn't be present in the blood until they have matured, this is usually because of the white blood cells. Some defects in the immature white blood cells cause them to attack the body, and they are destroyed before they cause any harm, but if they made their way into the blood, all hell would break loose. Your immune system would be attacking you. So bone marrow stem cells in the heart is quite an odd anomoly.
Supprisingly a heart can beat outside of the body, quite effectively too.
The SA and AV nodes have a pacemaker feature that makes a heart beat at a constant rate of about 100 bpm (for SA control, 60~ for AV control), and this is not controlled by the CNS. However parasympathetic innervation of the heart slows the heart rate to about 70 bpm. This is why heart transplant patients have a high heart rate constantly, because they have no para/sympathetic control of the heart. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_pacemaker/
Anyways if a good enough medium is made to supply the heart with nutrition, and about the same consistency as blood, it could support a heart beat for a fair while.
