Mohammed Habib has had the grisly task of collecting the city's unclaimed corpses since he was 12. He says he has disposed of hundreds of bodies - and all for free - in a country where millions live in poverty. [MetaFilter]

Mind Map

Something which is postively encouraged in medicine is the use of mind maps in study. I have always found them very useful, and greatly appreciate the opportunity to doodle during lectures/seminars.  The man attributed with creating mind maps is Tony Buzan.

Peeball

Dealing with the awkward topic of testicular cancer.  I first saw this ball in a record shop (showing my age CD/DVD/Video) at Christmas.  The guy behind the till saw my inquisitive self and looked very relieved I didnt ask what it was for.  I have a natural tendency to be a real noseache but something in his eyes begged me to stop.  I was with my sister and her friend, a nightmare scenario for him obviously. It's a game and you don't have to pee up a wall.
