(no subject)
I died the long livejournal death and was gone for many months. But now I'm back. That's not impressive, because it was just a metaphorical death. But I came back because I had to spread the good news about the one who was born into the world, was killed by humans and truly, literally died, only to return miraculously to us.
I say "the one", but apparently it was several.
Zombie Dogs.

The Safar Center team took the dogs, swiftly flushed their bodies of blood and replaced it with a relatively cool saline solution (approximately 45 to 50 degrees) laced with oxygen and glucose. The dogs quickly went into cardiac arrest, and with no demonstrable heartbeat or brain activity, clinically died. There the dogs remained in...a state of suspended animation. After three full hours, the team reversed their steps, withdrawing the saline solution, reintroducing the blood and thereby warming the dogs back to life.
Feel the creepy.
Thanks, Dien, for the mad science alert.
