	http://mashable.com/2016/08/12/duoskin-tattoos/?utm_cid=mash-prod-nav-sub-st#EPQz8ufThmqM I wonder if these could have medical applications, e.g., if the tattoo has embedded sensors and can communicate with a smart phone, depending on what kind of sensors are embedded you could transmit the info the sensors collect to a doctor's office. Haven't thought this one out yet -- just looks like a cool idea.

	"Picture this: a world where everyone has a bar-code tattooed onto their forehead immediately after birth..." I have an acquaintance for whom this isn't difficult to imagine: His tattoo is not temporary. __________________ Semper Ubi Sub Ubi

	Agreed. Doorman is playing the part of Mr. Buzzkill today. George Santayana is known to be the originator of the quote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." __________________ Semper Ubi Sub Ubi

	Chaz Bufe's "The Devil's Dictionaries" has a cartoon about that. The book consists of selections from Ambrose Bierce's original plus Bufe's supplemental material. __________________ In vino veritas; in cervisia carmen; in aqua E. coli.

	Wearable tattoos to control your smartphone. This could give a whole new meaning to the phrase: "Butt dialing". __________________ TANSTAAFL (If you don't know what that means, Google it - yourself)
