How, exactly, do they get so hot

mcdonalds pie
burns your tongue so fucking badly that
you can't taste a damn thing for three days after
when you'll order another two,
because of the one reason:

it's pretty damn cheap.

I'd never heard this poem before now. It is noteworthy.

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

This makes me happy

This is a new device being used in Haiti.




It helps heal wounds faster because there is no air around the wound and bacteria stops growing? It also create a suctioned area around the wound to draw circulation. The bandage doesn't have to be taken off. Sweet.

"Zurovcik originally intended to field-test the device in Rwanda, but then the Haiti Earthquake struck. At the request of Partners in Health, an NGO, she traveled to Haiti with 50 of the pumps.

Currently, Zurovcik is verifying the healing benefits of the device, and developing a new model that can be readily carried and concealed. The one technical hurdle that remains is ensuring the bandage seals tightly--but after that, the device could benefit a huge portion of the 50-60 million people in the developing world that suffer from acute or chronic wounds."

Simple, cheap, help. Yay!
