The New York Times has a great web feature called “The Year In Ideas” from their magazine (this is the 9th year they’ve done it).  Basically it’s just a lot of interesting stuff from a wide range of fields. For example, the picture above is a genetically modified glowing puppy.  (Picture was found here).

I wonder no one has made a Big Mouth Billy Bass that can play back recorded songs and messages. It’d sell a lot better than the regular one, that’s for sure.

That’s a stent.  It lay between my left kidney and bladder in what’s called the ureter in order to help my body heal after my surgery. Getting it out is done the samy way you get it in. I’ll let you use your imagination to figure out how that’s done but here’s a hint: normally it’s a one way road.  Below I have some more gruesome pictures of the actual surgery.  FYI, these are from inside my body, so their is blood and fleshy things

! WARNING !

! BLOOD !

! GORE !

! OGAH BUGAH BOO !

kidney1

I’m told they actually inflate this part of my body during surgery which creates all that empty space.

What you’re seeing in these pictures is the kidney (top), spleen (top left) and in the center, my Urethral Pelvic Injunction (aka, where the ureter meets the kidney).
