Seven-Up

Links and one commentary for Tuesday. Do you like to play games on the web? Play the ESP game and help the blind surf the internet.

Any good acupuncturist could do the same, with less pain and for less money. Trigger point therapy is a very painful procedure to undergo because they are injecting (big needle!) something (saline, lidocaine, benzocaine, or botox) into the musculature. Acupuncture points are where they are for a reason and usually more than one. There are many reasons for back pain and as usual all of them should be treated, not just the "new and improved" or "just discovered" miracle treatment points that relieve one person's pain and have no studies to back them up.

High school science can be more useful than you think. Especially if you need to fight a speeding ticket.

Niagara Falls from space. Nice.

Save the cheerleader, save the world. Next. I knew Peter was going to survive by absorbing Claire's power. I'm looking forward to next week, I love Hiro and his crush is so sweet. Peter's brother is such an arrogant jerk. What a putz. Eden's sweetness can be dangerous. I hope Nikki makes it back before Jessica causes more trouble. Remember, if you recognize a person in a photograph, that actor will show up in a live scene, even if he's dead. Next week should answer more of the questions.
