Live Pictures From Inside Your Stomach 40
Dupple writes "Our own stomachs may be something of a dark mystery to most of us, but new research is revealing the surprising ways in which our guts exert control over our mood and appetite. Not many of us get the chance to watch our own stomach's digestion in action. But along with an audience at London's Science Museum, I recently watched live pictures from my own stomach as the porridge I had eaten for breakfast was churned, broken up, exposed to acid and then pushed out into my small intestine as a creamy mush called chyme."

no. A geek would take pictures and show people make wild statements he assumes is science.
A nerd would go through his poo, retrieve and do a detail write up with before and after pictures. The giver sold engineering idea for improvement... then talk about it over dinner with their kids.

But I'd rather watch something more upscale be digested. Come now, there's no chyme like the pheasant.

BBC gave me a 'may contain upsetting material' warning. Perhaps it was just a play on 'stomach', but I'd much prefer to think the warning was appropriate for the evening news.
