It was only a matter of time before some over cautious parent/engineer would decide that the Styrofoam helmet was not good enough.

Some people feel they can never be too secure while randomly running all over the internet posting pointless comments so in a further attempt to keep themself anonymous this person has went so far as to use a voice changing apparatus while logged on to to CR4.

Researchers found nothing unethical in testing the new home diagnosis kits on the cute kids in the class.

They were more concerned when 15% of the class were diagnosed with prostrate problems. They hadn't expected that in a girls' school.

With the world economic situation affecting profits, the Medellin Cartel diversified into manufacturing of computerized delivery systems with disposable cartridges. Proving once again "change is good".

The Wellcome Trust's new Ventalin delivery system for severe asthma sufferers was finding more applications each day. Schools with ADHD pupils found the computerised Ritalin delivery systems improved pupil learning outcomes by 74.5692%

This was increased to 89.14284% when the scents of new mown grass and freshly baked bread were added to the dose.

Conversely, these reduced the effectiveness of the Ventalin delivery system.

This is a new nose guard for kids who hold their hand held games to close to their faces, or for those who sit too close to the television set.

HEY KIDS!!!

Now you can have your own nose ring...just like your real cool older sister!

Its the Ranko NEZPIERCEOTRON©. Just select the ring style and the NEZPIERCEOTRON© will almost painlessly do the job.

Not sold in stores.

I have a system I use now. They have me rated at 99/hr. Meaning I stopped breathing 99 times for every hour I sleep (severe apnea). With the machine my rates down to 1/hr normal, which is good but the machine is a pain, but I guess that's life. I get it from my moms side of the family. Genes aren't they fun. So far my kid is fine, hopefully for this trait she takes after my wife.

Nope.

This is all genetics with the way my tongue falls back into my throat and the trichina narrows while I sleep. With the pump it forces air around all of it and into your lungs. I was informed by the doctor I've had it since I was a child, maybe around the time they removed my tonsils at 6 years old, no body at the time knew about it I just found out it after they told I had a mild heart attack last November. Same thing with my high blood pressure, anemia, and triglycerides it took the doctors a while to find something wrong.

Actress Nicole Kidman in high impact preparation training to be able to wiggle her nose, just like 'Samantha' (Elizabeth Montgomery) was able to do for the 1964-1972 TV show, in her role as 'Sam' for the 2005 "Bewitched" movie. see; http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/bewitched/site/

The new and improved nose stretcher 3000. Guaranteed to stretch even the stubbiest of nose by at least one whole inch for five easy payments of $29.95. For an extra $29.95 we'll upgrade it to include the nose shrinker for those of you who have a large snout.
