What, so far, has been the greatest medical breakthrough in your lifetime?
There's a chance that before the decade ends, we'll actually have a breast cancer vaccine. A doctor from the Cleveland Clinic claims to have developed a vaccine that can be used for prevention as well as treatment. So far, Dr. Vincent Tuohy says tests on mice have showed "overwhelmingly favorable results." "We have designed a vaccine that is designed to prevent breast cancer the same way we vaccinate against polio and measles," Dr. Tuohy told Fox8.com. Testing on women could begin as early as next year, and a final product could be ready in a decade.

JOKE OF THE DAY
A grizzled old man was eating in a truck stop when three members of a motorcycle gang walked in.
The first walked up to the old man and pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie, and then took a seat at the counter.
The second walked up to the old man and spat into the old man's milk, and then he took a seat at the counter.
The third walked up to the old man and turned over the old man's plate, and then he took a seat at the counter.
Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner.
Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man, was he?"
The waitress replied, "Not much of a truck driver either. He just backed his truck over three motorcycles."

GAME BREAK
I don't know if this is even a game. I don't even know if it's fun. I do know that it's really weird. Give it a try.
