Rodents

sight partially restored within weeks, thanks to a tiny biodegradable
scaffold invented by MIT bioengineers and neuroscientists.

Thanks to Doc Searls for the link…

 "Stix" Devine… wailing at SxSW, Stix was always losing her sticks.  (The guy on keyboards almost lost an eye).

# Law of Lost Drumsticks:
# Percussionists will lose sticks.

    * Corollaries:
    * 1. Some of these sticks are forcefully propelled into the audience.
    * 2. Truly lost sticks (i.e. those not thrown away in exuberance) will be found the day after new ones are bought.
