When we alighted, Sugar informed us that the conditions were excellent and that we'd be able to jump. When I met my pilot, Eric, he asked me how I was feeling before I took flight. I said I was just glad to be out of the truck, neglecting to mention the most recent bout of nausea and accompanying thoughts of "What am I doing?!" But as he spread out the parachute and we attached our harnesses, and the chute filled with air and jerked us even higher than our take-off point, thoughts of plummeting to my death were...
...truck's wheel-base. As the non-English speaking driver shifted into lower and lower gear in an attempt to climb the mountain and I looked over the side of the truck and out over the cliff, I felt like I was going to throw up. At this point, Sugar, one of the pilots, asked me if I was scared. Managing my most sincere smile, I assured him that I wasn't.

Spark's smart book takes the reader from topics such as fertility to Viagra, with entertaining case studies that read like a good novel. A great resource for men and the women...
...view. Rather than plug a piece of hardware into our gray matter, how much more elegant to extract some brain cells, plop them into a Petri dish and graft on various sorts of gelatinous computing goo. Slug it all back into the skull and watch it run on blood sugar, the way a human brain's supposed to. Get all the functions and features you want, without that clunky-junky 20th century hardware thing. You really don't need complicated glass to crunch numbers, and computing goo probably won't be all that difficult to build. (The trickier aspect here...
