- SoyChemist, on 04/25/2008, -0/+19Well, those folk healers did not figure out how to separate the aluminosilicate nanoparticles out from the clay, and then perform scientifically rigorous tests to learn how it stops bleeding, infuse gauze with it, and systematically test it on animals.
- m0laria, on 04/25/2008, -0/+10Am I the only one scared by releasing blood-clot-triggering nanoparticles directly into my bloodstream?
- jadenguy, on 04/25/2008, -2/+10*joke about applying pressure to his groin*
- sockpuppets, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7The last tampon you'll ever need! Try new Nanopon™ today!
- chrissku, on 04/25/2008, -1/+7Nobody wants a gushing wound to their groan. That injury is only funny if it happens to someone else.
- ShempRider, on 04/25/2008, -0/+6i didn't have a gushing groin wound, but it still took 2 surgeries and a full year to recover. I had no health insurance and the costs were well over $100,000. The two hospitals and most of the (dozen?) doctors didn't charge me.
And they didn't give me some bionic dick...they just made it work again.
I don't laugh at online "nutshot" videos. - Professr, on 04/25/2008, -1/+6It's standard practice for girls.
- gametavern, on 04/25/2008, -1/+5I hope I don't have a gushing wound in my groin area. :-(
- ShempRider, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4stop wasting our time.
- ShempRider, on 04/26/2008, -0/+4I wasn't sure if AFV was still on so I googled it.
That POS just won't die.
I remember the first damned show. - dustysquareback, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4No, it wasn't. At it's best it doen't need for you to EXPLAIN that it was sarcasm. I agree with your sentiment though.
- inactive, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4Thanks to America's Funniest Home Videos, NOBODY laughs at nutshots anymore.
- inactive, on 04/25/2008, -4/+8That's interesting. But a word about the *patent.* Perhaps it should be *bought* from/royalties paid to people in 'folk medicine' who have used the practice of rubbing certain riverbank clays onto a Lamb's Ear leaf for stopping bleeding? -- Credit where it is due and all.
- chrissku, on 04/25/2008, -2/+5Nano particles are the bomb.
- charlietuna, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3Isn't this just talcum powder 2.0 ?
- tristan55555, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3FTA - Although researchers have raised concerns about the safety of nanoparticles, the aluminosilicates found in kaolin clay have been used on the human body, and introduced into it, for eons. Furthermore, by triggering blood clotting, the nanoparticles should effectively trap themselves at the site of the injury -- so they don't wind up wandering deep into the body.
- bincoder, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Campfire and cigarette ashes work too. Oh wait, those are nanoparticles.
- ElBeh, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Well when you put it that way...
- thotpoizn, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Good stuff, although I had to wince at the juxtaposition of "gushing wound" and "groin"... :-]
- ryanisnotsuper, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Try saying that with a clot in your lung.
- inactive, on 04/26/2008, -0/+2It used to have good laughs on it and then it became the "HAW HAW THAT KID JUST ACCIDENTALLY HIT HIS DAD IN THE DICK!" show.
- IClavdivs, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Nanoparticles proven to be key ingredient in pixie dust.
Scientists also see great potential for nanotechnology in the resurrection of dinosaurs! Wow! Awesome! - inactive, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Dugg down for basically having a sarcasm tag.

"That's some great news. Damn, too bad nanotechnology is so damned immoral though. (in case you didn't notice that was sarcasm at its best folks.)"
No but it's true. When satan farts, it sounds like its saying "nano" - jaymoo, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1yeah... they're called platelets.
- Nomad83, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2Awesome little company up in Wallingford, CT. THey really care about the people's lives they are saving and have tons of letters from the troops throughout the office. It's not just combat either...as they were hoping to get this to all the police officers and ambulances too.
- playuhh, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2Well... I, for one, welcome our new Nano Overlords...
- TheZorch, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Not if you use a CFC Free propellant it won't.
- mnemy, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1Wow cool, I wonder if this can be adapted for boxing/MMA ringside cut treatment. Maybe toss some powder in the cut and coat it with vacaline.
- jayb1rd, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1I don't know how comfortable I am with tiny particles entering my bloodstream via an open wound...
- res8qr6m, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1Cool! Maybe now I'll be able to hold a conversation with the colonel..
- wishninja, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1nanoparticles have been used since the 1950's? cool
- BlackTye, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1Did you say nanoparticles? Dugg and dugg.
- MrFurious2k, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1I learned from Wesley Crusher that sometimes nanites can gain sentience. Let's hope these don't demand special rights.
- Jones4590, on 04/26/2008, -0/+0Thank god the Coast Gaurd got their hands on this stuff early. Lord knows they need it more than the Army and Marines
- outofbeta, on 04/26/2008, -0/+0Up next... non breaking condoms.
- rocket777, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1So, would this have worked on O.J.'s victims? Maybe find a way to put it into a spray can. Oh, hmmm, that'd probably destroy the planet or at least some ozone.
- TheZorch, on 04/25/2008, -4/+3That's some great news. Damn, too bad nanotechnology is so damned immoral though. (in case you didn't notice that was sarcasm at its best folks.)
