    I had an upper endoscopy on Tuesday and asked them if I could get a two for one as long as they didn’t use the same scope or at least do the upper first. They laughed then knocked me out. Who knows what happened after that?

    Nah. I had an upper GI bleed a few weeks ago that put me in the hospital for two days (that's how I ended up watching all of those awesome commercials on network cable). They thought it might have been a bleeding ulcer but the upper endoscopy didn't find anything, so the next step is probably a capsule.

    What is the succession plan for Clutchfans? How do we know a robot hasn't already taken the reigns?

    What could go wrong?

    Move over, artificial intelligence. Scientists announce a new 'organoid intelligence' field
    Computers powered by human brain cells may sound like science fiction, but a team of researchers in the United States believes such machines, part of a new field called "organoid intelligence," could shape the future — and now they have a plan to get there.

    Organoids are lab-grown tissues that resemble organs. These three-dimensional structures, usually derived from stem cells, have been used in labs for nearly two decades, where scientists have been able to avoid harmful human or animal testing by experimenting on the stand-ins for kidneys, lungs and other organs.

    Brain organoids don't actually resemble tiny versions of the human brain, but the pen dot-size cell cultures contain neurons that are capable of brainlike functions, forming a multitude of connections.

    So far they are tiny so probably not much flavor. Wait until they grow them with millions of neurons and then could be some good eatin
