Self Mobile body parts...
Apr. 25th, 2006 12:59 pm"My new favorite piece of trivia: it turns out that hearts work just fine without brains attached. During a heart transplant, with a corpse on life support to keep everything warm, after completely disconnecting the heart from the body, the heart keeps beating for like ten minutes. And they really go: they're not cute little gently pulsating blobs, they really thrash around, which means that it's not uncommon for them to get away. And when that happens, they pick 'em up off the floor, wash 'em off, and install them anyway." quote by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Wow, excellent interview with Neil Young talking about his new album.
They talk about the fact that Neil is a Canadian, and he does an excellent job of talking about that, and his relationship with the US. You will be able to hear the album as a live stream this Friday at his web site, http://www.neilyoung.com

Thinking about the "fun" the pheloniusfriar on his previous trip from Red Neck Heaven to the Great White North.
The action claims that various Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Pontiac engines from the 1995 to 2003 model years have intake manifold gaskets which degrade prematurely and allow coolant to leak into the engine.
"The claim here is based on problems that have surfaced right across North America arising from the fact that General Motors used nylon or other plastics in the manufacture of the intake manifold gasket,'' stated lawyer Colin Stevenson.
"The coolant can cause serious problems once it escapes,'' Stevenson added.
"In some cases the engines overheat and seize completely. The vehicles often need complete engine replacements at considerable expense to the owners.''
