Million Crystal Body: Swarovski Peep Show
One million Swarovski crystals have been placed on this alluring young model, with enterprising entrepreneurs aiming to sell these pieces of micro-bling one by one, for one euro each. Presented as a strange sort of performance art, as each crystal is sold, these impresarios will remove one from the model, eventually showing her in all her glory without any crystals at all (as if they’re going to make her stand there and wait while they remove each one). That is, if they sell one million of these. So reads the breathless prose of the crystal hucksters:
“Become a part of a world-spanning campaign and watch the uncovering of our model on our website. The more stones are sold, the more will be visible of the Million Crystal Body!”
We’re thinking that with all the porn available on the Internet, you can see millions of pictures of babes more beautiful than this for free; why would you want to buy a little piece of glass, keeping it as a some sort of souvenir of a mass disrobing ceremony? It’s not surprising in a world where used panties command a pricey premium. Product Page [Million Crystal Body, via Shiny Shiny]

New Possible SIDS Genes Identified
Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Sunday, 21 May 2006 02:05:00
from the science dept.
ScienceDaily is reporting that researchers at the Mayo Clinic have identified two more cardiac genes that could contribute to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). From the article: "In the two recent separate studies, researchers examined caveolin-3 (CAV3) and the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) and found molecular and functional evidence in both to implicate them as SIDS-susceptibility genes. Researchers examined the tissue of 135 unrelated cases of SIDS -- in infants with an average age of 3 months old -- that had been referred to Mayo Clinic's Sudden Death Genomics Laboratory for molecular autopsy. In each study, two of the 135 cases possessed mutations in either CAV3 or RyR2."Read on...
