Post-Colon CoTV
Welcome to the August 14, 2008 edition of carnival of the vanities. Why the title? Well the docs had a look see at my back end, I was watching too, and it seems to be clear of the big C. I will, of course, post a picture of my clear colon so you can compare it to the cancerous version.

Dr Martin W. Russell presents Working Through A Problem posted at Dr Martin W. Russell.
GrrlScientist presents Sputnik Challenges Our Current Definition of Life posted at Living the Scientific Life, saying, “I don’t know about you, but when I was in school, I was taught that viruses could only infect other living cells, and further, I was taught that viruses are not living cells. So, logically, one could conclude that viruses cannot infect other viruses. But a new discovery by a group of scientists in France reveals otherwise.”
GrrlScientist presents Behold The Pale Horse: The Genetics of Color and Cancer posted at Living the Scientific Life, saying, “White horses have pink skin and blue eyes. Gray horses are typically born black, bay or chestnut in color but rapidly lose all hair pigmentation as they age, ending up completely white by the time they are eight years old. Meanwhile, their skin remains black and their eyes are typically dark, giving a silvery or grey cast to their seeming snowy-whiteness. This popular coat color results from an autosomal dominant mutation to a gene that was just identified. Unfortunately, this coat color is also linked to an increased risk of developing a specific form of cancer: melanoma. Thus, this finding has important implications for human medical research.”
GrrlScientist presents Mystery Parrot Disease Virus Identified posted at Living the Scientific Life, saying, “[new virus discoveries, veterinary medicine] For more than 30 years, a mysterious disease, known as proventricular dilatation disease (PDD), has sent chills of terror down the spines of bird lovers because it has been killing captive parrots. In fact, the Little Blue (Spix’s) Macaw, Cyanopsitta spixii, one of the world’s rarest and most endangered bird species, may become extinct due to PDD. But fortunately for this species, and all other birds, it appears that the causative agent of PDD has finally been identified: a virus that is new to science.”
Madeleine Begun Kane presents My “Dear John” Edwards Letter posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.
April Hollands presents Fete du Reblochon posted at Le Franco Phoney, saying, “I’m not sure if my blog entry is worthy of the original carnival, but sometimes it’s hard to tell. I hope you like it!”
