5 Scientists Who Went Too Far in the Name of Science - Neatorama

Scientists sometimes do crazy things. Too crazy. Purple Slinky blog (what a name) has an intriguing post about 5 scientists that went too far in the name of science. Take, for instance, Vladimir Demikhov:

Demikhov was a pioneer in organ transplantation. Although he was unable to be the first to do heart transplants in humans, he did do many organ transplants in animals. He was most notoriously known for creating a cruel monstrosity in 1954. He surgically attached the head, shoulders, and front legs of a puppy onto a mature dog. People were astonished, if not repulsed, to see the animals lap up milk from bowls.

I agree with everyone condemning the whiners. Don't be such babies, move on. The world is not full of nice things and if you happen to get a handful of them anywhere, be thankful.

On the otherhand, I think E is right, it sounds like they ripped off the article from Elephants on Acid.

If you want to transplant human organs, you've got to break a few puppies. Quit the whining.

I use a mild to medium heat yellow curry powder added to my regular deviled eggs recipe. Top the filling with a sprinkling of curry or paprika and crispy bacon pieces or kalamata olives. I also throw in 4 extra cooked egg yolks into the mix so there will be lots of filling for the egg whites. The dogs get the leftover egg whites. Does anyone really want egg whites over the filling?

I never really mastered any of the quick ways to peel eggs, so I dread the amount of work needed to make deviled eggs. I don't think I've made them since grad school. Back then, there would be up to a dozen people around the shared house on the day of big holiday meals. Whoever was making the deviled eggs could basically say, "You all ate deviled eggs last time, therefore you're going to help peel them this time," and end up with an army of people to peel eggs with no (audible) complaints.

I just had a deviled egg earlier tonight. Okay, maybe five. Okay, maybe more. They were delicious!

If it's a classic dish, there can't be 20 different recipes. Only variations of the correct recipe.
