saw a piece
on Yahoo News about a

A guy was sitting at a stoplight, minding his own business,
when a wrecking ball crashed into the trunk. The man was not
seriously injured.
The wrecking ball was being used in demolition, but apparently had a
defective cable.

This is from a site on Medscape, Infosite. It is a multimedia
program about

(lisdexamfetamine dimesylate), a long-acting amphetamine. The
video is positively mind-blowing:
This shows a person who is about to take a Vyvanse capsule.
Next we see the capsule going down the esophagus.
Pretty much everything in the educational material has
already been covered here and elsewhere (

Marisa Crockett speaks to an Albuquerque
Police Department officer at UNM about her free hugs project to travel

If you are willing to settle for a two-dimensional desktop
experience,
and you love The Matrix, this might be fun.
The image is an animated GIF, so it is big. (Sorry

The howto is

If you want the three-dimensional version, you'll have to use
