1,113 | by mary roach mary roach is an amazing writer who takes potentially mundane scientific subjects and makes them not mundane at all she makes them really fun so in this particular case it's about the human digestive system so i'm trying to figure out what is the cover of this book going to be this is a self portrait | 1 |
1,115 | but i also started thinking here's our introduction right into the human digestive system but i think what we can all agree on is that actual photographs of human mouths at least based on this are off putting | 1 |

1,177 | for the second demo i have this remote that's actually next to the tv so it's pointing away from the display rather than pointing at the display and why this is interesting is that if you put on say a pair of safety glasses that have two infrared dots in them they are going to give the computer an approximation of your... | 1 |
