Well it's perfectly obvious they're taking revenge for all the poor little kittens.

The fact that humans can take action to prevent some of these deaths — such as adopting policies to reduce feral cat populations and altering how wind turbines are designed — should provide some hope, Marra said.

Wow! These cats manipulate wind turbines as killer weapons?!?

:-O

Wellll...

I thought this was very interesting.

Especially since it may help those who have found it difficult to communicate with the people around them.

Why do they keep the camera at such an enormous distance?

Hopeless...but i read all those with interest.
Feeling/touch can also be transmitted by computer.
One thought was the paraphlegic writing:'kill me!'

But what if you have electric phenoma getting in the way of good vision. Or no vision. Vision is mainly generated in the brain.
(Why can't anyone come up with a direct connection!)
I have it from time to time, and sometimes weeks in a row, about 30 minutes upto 2 hours.
A kind of painless migrane that when it continues, or rather when i try to continue reading, makes one loose focus as in vision alltogether. It really freaked me out the first time that happened. The left eye usually. Idiopathic, so they call it migrane. But like any migrane it leaves you with difficulty to focus as in concentrate after, and unlike migrane you get the headache later.
But i presume like in any kind of migrane it also gives little holes in the white-brain matter.
So i learned to simply close my eyes and relax all muscles.
Avoid doctors and tests, because they all want to know how your eye responds to light, but it's not like you can call them any time of day or night, to come over and do hurry!

And all the rats seem to have mysteriously disappeared.
I'm thinking typo...especially the New Zealand island one.

A friend told me the eye reacts normal to the light stimulus.

Not the particular story I was looking for, but this one has so MUCH potential:

Agree. i guess vision is just the most complex of all, so the last to be resolved.

Hello Kitty in space:

Smart rich dad! Loved kitty in space, but are those homework science-projects not going a little over the top.

Meanwhile.

Yay! Does it come in pink? Ambience is important.

I heard from Noodly James today. He's finishing up his neuroradiology fellowship in Miami and doing well.
