Out of the Blue

Not since the Bonsai Kitten incident have we gotten so many warnings that a joke link was a hoax. Yes, the home Lasik dealie last night was not real, though with no contact information on how to get in touch with them, I'm not sure what anyone was concerned about. For the record, I would not suggest perusing any medical procedures found in the links of the day section here until they are verified elsewhere. After all, I am not a doctor, though I do play one on TV.

Medical Links! Thanks Mike Martinez and Ant.

Google Content Blocker. Thanks Digg.

Shocking arrest. Wow. Thanks Boing Boing.
