Meh. And I wasn't attempting to pick a fight with her.

When Matthew Green leaves hospital, the one thing he really mustn’t forget is his rucksack.
The father of one will be carrying part of his new heart in it.
Mr Green, 40, will be the first Briton to be discharged from hospital with a completely artificial heart.
The device in his chest is slightly larger than the organ it replaces and weighs less than six ounces. It delivers blood to the body with the help of a pump that is carried in the rucksack, along with a battery.
He had been in a critical condition after developing a chronic heart condition and no suitable donors could be found. With his health deteriorating fast, doctors at Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire decided to fit him with the device in a £100,000 operation.

I would be totally scared of the catching a tube or cord on something and pulling it out =S
But I'm glad he made it and I hope the process can be made cheaper so more people can get it. (One step closer to the cyborg revolution!)

I actually know the guy who had the first artificial heart transplant here in Australia, met him at a party a couple of months ago, complete with pump, battery and all.
I have to admit, it does look very awkward at first, but after a while, it becomes no less natural than a person picking up their bag and taking it wherever they go. I did get worried for the guy with all the little kids running around though, and he did need to plug it into the wall to recharge the battery part way through the afternoon.

Lol wiccans on tv are aborting a baby with magic. I bet that will work out just fine.
You need to stop watching that show before it rots all of your brain cells.

Well it's gotta be doing something to your brain....or the writers need a new brain if they do something like that in the show.
Anyways, time for sleep.

I think I should probably go to bed. But I'm not really tired. Oh well.

... You're an idiot.
Or just really tired; either or in all honesty.
The lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing… thank god I’m not REALLY poor.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, I really miss my bed. It doesn’t have chiggers.
3 He refreshes my soul. I don’t know what this means or what it would feel like, but I’m sure someone must do it.
He guides me along the right paths (like when I walked in front of that guy on his bike and broke my ankle. Thanks for THAT, god)
for his name’s sake, which is kinda weird.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, (wait a minute… how the ^&*! did I get HERE?)
I will fear no evil, (@#$% that! This is the ^&*!ing valley of the shadow of @#$%ing death! This is some scary-ass ^&*!)
for you are with me; (invisibly… not doing anything… thanks again…)
your rod and your staff, (in case I need to be branded or tripped…)
they comfort me. (Oh yeah. THIS IS REALLY COMFORTABLE.)
5 You prepare a table before me, which is about time, because I am totally starved after all that shadow valley walking,
in the presence of my enemies, whom I SO did not invite to dinner. Why did you invite these guys? I HATE them.
You anoint my head with oil, which is really gross; my cup overflows and now I have to clean that up too. You are SUCH a $%^&ing slob.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me and beg money from me on Sunday morning TV all the days of my life, or possibly longer if you believe in that sort of thing,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever, unless I get a place of my own and move out, where I won’t have to deal with not having a bed, or “deadly shadow valley” trails, getting branded, eating with my freakin’ enemies, having oil poured on my head, or gods begging for VISIBLE MONEY in return for INVISIBLE FAVORS.

What the hell have you got vodka for?
I don't really like vodka, but I'll have some anyway.
