So today has been one interesting day in the news. First of all, the so called "tainted" Barry Bonds 756 Homerun Mark .This to me is a landmark in sports. Who cares about drug use or this that and the other thing. You go hit 756 home runs. You cant, you can be awesome at baseball have a full major league career, and never get close to that number. Steroids are not a new thing. Sorry, i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but come on, seriously, are you insane? Yes. Drug use in sports should really be allowed. Theres no benefit to drugs, and if someone wants to take them they will take the side effects they come with. If your looking for "all natural" baseball, make your own damn league, I'm tired of people caring so much, sports stars are entertainers just like actors and magicians. If Harry Houdini had decided to shoot up some heroin before a show to relax so he didn't mess up getting out of that straight jacket, thats his own accord. I just want to see him get out.
Also in the news today. In Amsterdam they fished out a Giant Lego man.... thats right, a giant Lego man. First of all... how the hell did a 8 foot lego man get into the sea. Second of all, what does "No Real Than You Are" mean? This is perposterous, how, why, when, where, this is the most unreal thing ive ever heard of. Oh man this so goes back to yesterdays post on wormholes to another universe. What if this guy is real? What if he came through a wormhole to our universe? How many other giant Lego men are there, can they transform? Oh man. Terminator never looked so friendly with a big yellow head and blue body. Insane? Yes. When giant lego man comes to your town and pumps you full of plastic bullet holes, don't come running to me, all i have to say is "i told you so".
Ok so last in the news i want to blog about today is the new and up coming Bionic arm. Cue up the Star wars flashbacks. No really, this technology is amazing. The article talks about being able to add neuro sensors into your brain so that this robotic arm could even FEEL. Thats amazing. purely amazing. When you lose a limb you always hear about the "phantom limb" effect where you feel like its there. But that hand is gone man, fed it to the dog last night. Imagine having that feeling one day, then the next you wake up in the hospital, with a fully functioning hand. Not only that, but you can still feel things with it. I wonder what robotic limbs are next, hand is the hardest, but the first step into a cyborg body. This is what my major truly aspires to do, greater good and what not. This stuff is awesome. Oh no, i had a thought. Never mind all this stuff, I will not become lego man. Take the hand, I don't want it.
Thanks to all who are commenting, ill keep posting.

It's pretty amazing how far we've managed to advance in neural science/technology, I'll admit.
I was personally inspired by the story a while back about recovering visual memory from a cat's brain tissue. The idea that we may some day be able to effectively apply this to the human brain is incredible. Perhaps even a step toward the concept of repairing errors in cognition or memory itself. Greater good and all that.
First of all, this comment page is a little messed up, or perhaps its just me, not sure. But anyway, I personally do think that the home run record is a tainted record. Steroids do provide an advantage, that is unfair when it comes to setting records. Sure athletes of the Major leagues are entertainers, and yes the added power of Barry Bond's swing due to the steroids does prove for a better game to watch. However, when it comes to setting records I don't think that someone who is on steroids should be allowed to hold the record above someone who set this milestone in sports without using performance enhancing drugs. He did it under his own natural power. No I don't think that he should be kicked out of the sport, or that steroids should be banned from baseball, however I do think that Hank Aaron should be allowed to be the rightful owner of this record.
Wether you choose to agree with me or not..... you should fix your comments page
