Vagina Ghosts

The title is a bit misleading - it's really a mix of two different things, so if you were expecting to see pale, eerie, floating vaginas, you're fucked up this isn't the article for you.



I was going through my RSS reader, and the following article popped out at me: Kidney Extracted Through The Vagina, First Time In Europe, Second In World. If that isn't one of the strangest images you've thought of, you have a twisted imagination. The idea is that you can reduce the amount of recovery time required, and scarring by going through the babyhole. Normally, you end up making a 6 cm incision, however with this method, you only need two smaller, 1 cm incisions. Oh wait, "Furthermore, another non visible incision is done in the internal part of the vagina, where the kidney is extracted." How is this a good idea??? To be fair, they're doing this to a 66 year old woman, so she probably doesn't get quite as much use out of it, but c'mon.



This is the image I was about to use, but then I saw the first image, and it fit better with the title. Earlier, I made a post about Nine Inch Nails' new album, Ghosts I. At the time, I had only downloaded for free, Ghosts I. A few days later I paid the $5 and downloaded Ghosts II-IV. I really enjoyed it. One of the feeds in my RSS reader is Pitchfork Media. They review music, so it helps me keep up with what's new, and if an album gets above an 8.0, I'll usually... acquire it. I was shocked to see that they gave Ghosts I-IV a 5.0. I disagree strongly with this, however there was a line in there which is very true. "Reznor stands to make millions from Ghosts, something that certainly wouldn't have been true if he'd released this two-hour 4xCD instrumental work on a major label." Anyhow, that's it for now.
