The Day We Made Frankenstein’s Monster
When Everett Knowles hitched a ride on a Boston train, he expected to make it home in a few minutes. But the result was the final leg of a medical history journey more than 30,000 years in the making when Eddy Knowles’ doctors turned tragedy into a medical miracle. The path from accident to surgery…

The Astronaut Who Crashed In The Bathroom
When a 40-year old Ohio man named John fell in the bathroom and hit his head on the tub, no one expected it to change how the entire world approached space exploration. But John Glenn wasn’t just a business traveler in a hotel room, and the medical mystery that followed changed NASA and the space…

The Futuristic Toy Moms HATED (Captain Power)
The 80s may have been the golden age for both toys and kids’ TV. He Man, Thundercats, GI Joe… it was the best time in history for action and action figures. Mattel had a grand idea to combine the two into one experience: Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future would not only present…

Pokémon vs. Same-Weight Animals – 3D Comparison
If Pokémon existed in the wild, which animals would be in their weight class? We used the Pokédex to find the exact weights of 11 of our favorite Pokémon, and then we matched them up in a 3D comparison with animals that share the same weights. Pokémon size doesn’t factor in to the calculations —…

I have a theory:
Micheal originally started the channel as a job, it was supposed to be a gaming channel, that fell through after a while. (That part is fact)
My theory is that Michael had originally intended to use the channel as a springboard to get into mainstream media, but as the channel grew larger the closest opportunity he ever got was Mind Field (which was sponsored by youtube as a part of the YouTube Red experiment, also it was shot and edited like a discovery channel show) and Mind Field was canceled by YouTube when Red fell through. I don’t think he ever sought out becoming a science communicator, I think he just used science communicator as his way of exposing himself to different platforms.
But that’s just my theory.

The fact that all the doctors, surgeons and nurses knew that the conditions were perfect and decided to perform the first surgery of its kind is mind boggling to think about. I can just imagine them seeing the state of the arm, looking at each other and being like “Team, it’s showtime”

to summarize this whole story in a meme-ish modern headline, it’d be something like “Boy loses arm at age 12, becomes man with authentic crustacean style dexterity.”
as literally just like a crab, he has one power arm and one precision arm.

Kevin’s focus on the utter impossibility of what he’s saying without discrediting the human elements required to make it all happen the exact way that it does…it reminds me of how close I’ve come to not being here. But I still am. I’m still here because some guy decided that pushing on a chest a certain way is a thing to do. Because someone realized that electric energy effects living tissue. Because someone mixed some chemicals for whatever reason. Because people mucked around, studied, tried, failed, and died to develop CPR, defibrillation, and medication.
Today might not be the perfect day. But through a cascading string of impossibility brought about by humans never giving up, I’m here to see it.
And that’s truly beautiful.

It is mind blowing how nowadays I just hear in the news that you should always bring amputated members to the hospital, if possible in ice to try reattaching them. It is just something they commonly do in hospitals nowadays.

This is… so many levels of miraculous. Both for our boy who survived and got his arm mostly back, but for all of modern medicine. And seriously, he went home after THREE WEEKS from the first ARM REATTACHMENT surgery, somewhat before we had a lot of the breakthroughs we currently have for inpatient or outpatient care and recovery, physical therapy, rehab, etc.? And he was PLAYING BASEBALL AND WORKING ON CARS and managed to go until his 60s? Just, so much luck aligning in just the right way.

A miracle is something that by all reason should not be able to happen, but then due to a seeming coincidental series of events and people, happen anyway.
The Apollo project lands men on the moon with science and machines mostly hand designed and built. The Mets making history in 1969 becoming the first expansion team to win a division title, a pennant, and the World Series. The Berlin Wall coming down due to a slip of the tongue, causing the collapse of the Soviet Union, ending the Cold War… And Eddie Spaghetti keeping his right arm.

There is debate over the missing fingers cave paintings. The fingers might not be missing but rather, the fingers are bent under into the hand. It’s just like the missing finger trick we all can do by bending our fingers down and attaching the other finger from the other hand to create an illusion. The cave paintings are not proof of missing digits. But I’m sure cavepeople lost fingers a lot due to accidents or even fighting with each other. I could see one caveperson biting off another caveperson’s fingers.

In addition to being a remarkable medical advancement, this story is also a great example of how critical a good sense of community can be for kids in dangerous situations. If he’d been raised on a mantra of ‘stranger danger’ and hadn’t talked to the stranger who asked him what was wrong, he might not have even made it home alive. Same on the side of the man, if he was worried people might assume some malign motive from talking to a random boy walking nearby and hadn’t said anything. Because they didn’t have that ambient fear that modern communication tech combined with the natural human lack of a capacity to judge risks accurately has created, this entire local community came to this boys aid. He sounds like he lived as a valued member of his community from beginning to end, a really beautiful human story.
