M.I.T. is working on a more painless shot experience.
Instead of using needles, the serum is delivered by a high-pressure stream.
I remember those painful shots my kids got. I don’t know what was worse. The piercing needle or the piercing screams.
Hmmm…
Will sharp needles become quite passé?
If so, I can’t wait for that day.
A less painful shot,
Not like one that I got,
When that happens I’ll sure shout hurray.
Aries… Your ruling planet, Mars is facing an uprising from the serfs. You will find yourself very uncomfortable after your laundry comes back with too much starch.
Taurus… Venus thinks Scorpio cheated in a game of Go fish. You will soon wake up with a feeling of dread when you discover you’ve become a pound of camembert cheese.
Gemini… A Mutable Mercury is quite clear now. You have permission to frolic in creamed corn with Dennis Miller.
Cancer… Your Zodiac sign has been defaced with graffiti. Rubbing butter on your aardvark will help you both to cope with life’s problems.
Leo… Aquarius is co-tangent to your ruling sun. Consult with a mathematician on this one. It forecasts stochastics in your life.
Scorpio… Taurus is in conjunction with Mars. Take that dead herring out of your glove compartment.
Virgo… There is a negative polarity with Pices now. Once again it’s time to spread strawberry preserves on your jowls.
Libra… Aries is in the seventh house for a Tupperware party. You will be arrested for illegal possession of an anchovy.
Sagittarius…Jupiter is opposite Neptune on your chart. A Congressman will accuse your spleen of treason.
Capricorn… Saturn and Venus are at odds again. You better polish your forehead with Turtle Wax to avoid the fallout.
Aquarius…Uranus and Saturn are both in the seventh house. You will soon find yourself locked in a Sponge Bob lunchbox.
Pisces… Neptune and Jupiter are plotting against you. Quick! Attend a costume party dressed as an eel.
And remember what Weird Al says about astrology in his song, “Your Horoscope For Today”:
“Now you may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely that the relative position of the planets and the stars could have a special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you, but let me give you my assurance that these forecasts and predictions are all based on solid, scientific, documented evidence, so you would haveto be some kind of moron not to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true.”
In a paper published in April, University of Glasgow scientists theorize in the future, 3D printers could be used to create customized drugs and chemicals for various medical conditions including cancer. The printer can make organic and inorganic compounds.
The researchers believe the method could be used by drug companies within the next five years to make customized medicines. It may be available to the public in 20 years.
Maybe by then, drugs can be made for each of us based on our individual chemical and biological factors.
A printer that prints in 3D,
Can make drugs for you and for me,
It can make any kind,
For the body or mind,
Oh how happy we all will soon be.
Humorous Interludes by Ron Yarosh 
Dangerous Decibels Damaging Drums
Another recent study shows that the high decibel level of music heard using headphones could cause permanent damage to your hearing.
You may be losing your hearing and not even know it!
And, damaged hearing is generally non reversible.
A hearing aid cannot replicate sounds like your natural ear can.
When your hearing is gone, it’s gone forever.
Hmmm…
Ear buds can be ruining your hearing,
It’s something that you should be fearing;
Here’s something to know,
Keep the volume quite low,
Or your hearing will not be endearing.
