So there is some interesting things going on behind the Zion curtain over at BYU. Most of these things I don't really care about but today I read something pretty interesting. A group of BYU students have come up with an ingenious way to create prosthetic limbs from PVC. I guess you really can do just about anything with PVC pipe. The group called 2ft prosthetics can produce the artificial limbs in just under a day for around 25.00 not nearly as expensive as the carbon fiber models. This gives people in developing countries who may have been plagued by war or industrial accidents the opportunity to walk again. Which for us means just a few more people walking around and buying more shoes. I'm thinking some with 6 inch stiletto's would be way cool. To help or support them go to http://www.2ftprosthetics.org/ and donate.
