To All Those Who Read Cristina Corduneanu's Story, Great News

To those of you who remember the story of Cristina Corduneanu that I wrote about on here - read Cristina's Story Here - I have some great, great news about her progress.

On June 19th the bone marrow was removed from Cristina's body and a few stem cells transplanted from her mother into Cristina. All anyone could do then was wait, and hope, and pray.

Well today great news has come from Belgium, where Cristina was taken for these treatments as Romania does not have the facilities to carry out such an operation, the transplant seems to be a success and Cristina is doing very well. I have tears of joy pouring from eyes since I heard the news.

I have seen some pictures of her looking so happy and smiling and laughing. I can't post them here as I have been asked not to.

To every one of you guys reading this who posted Cristina's Website link around the internet, to those who Re-Tweeted all my messages on Twitter and especially to those who gave their cash to make this possible for Cristina, I can't thank you enough. Every one of you is directly involved in hopefully saving Cristina's life if all goes according to plan.

As I have said before, we can ill afford to lose someone like cristina who gives of their time so willingly and who has such a deep love for the underpriviliged children in the Transylvania area of Romania.

I'm sure in the not too distant future she will get to see her beloved little babies and will be back to where she belongs, doing what she is best at, helping others !!

Technosexuality

“Technosexuality” is the name popularly used to describe a fetishistic attraction to humanoid or non-humanoid robots or people dressed in robot costumes. A related fetish involves attraction to mannequins or statues. A common fantasy related to these fetishes involves transformation into a robot, mannequin or statue.

Robot fetishism can be viewed as a form of erotic objectification. The female robot in Fritz Lang's film Metropolis can be viewed as an early example of the robot as fetish object.

Micheal Arndt Built A Formula One Car Out Of ........

It took him 2 years, he used 956,000 match sticks and 1686 tubes of glue but he did it. Micheal Arndt built a full-scale replica of a McLaren 4/14 F1 car, at a cost of around 6000 Euros ($8,725). The giant model takes up Arndt's entire kitchen and probably his social life. It can be broken down into 45 parts for easy transport to various matchstick-builders conventions. It kind of makes the phrase "Have you got a light" a bit redundant in his house I guess.
