Face Transplant

I read an article on CNN.com about a woman in the United States who had a face transplant. It was the first face transplant in the U.S. and the fourth in the world. The woman had suffered gunshot wounds to the face and had no nose, right eye or upper jaw. She recieved a nose, lower eyelids, upper lip, skin, muscles, bone, hard palate, arteries, veins and nerves. I could not believe this story when I read it. Face transplants have been in movies for years but I didn't think it could be done in real life. This technology will be very helpful in the future to help patients with facial trauma.

Chocolate Powered Race Car

I just read an article on FoxNews.com about a race car that was built from parts derived from vegetables and runs on a fuel derived from chocolate. The car is 95% biodegradable and conforms to most of the International Formula 3 rules. I find it very interesting that a race car could be partly built from and powered from food. Automotive technology has been advancing very fast lately, but I have never heard of a car running on chocolate. Although this car cost over $200,000 to build, I hope that this technology is expanded because we really need cars that will run on renewable engergy.
