''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.

Run Like a Cheetah: Marlon Shirley lost his foot as a child in a lawn mower accident, but that hasn't stopped him from becoming one of the fastest men in the world, thanks to a prosthesis called, appropriately, the Cheetah.
Prosthetics, they aren't your father's wooden leg. Some of these are so sophisticated, that they could make paralympians' athletic prowess superior to regular olympians. In fact, even among paralympians, the Cheetah is sometimes better described as the Cheater. posted by Sydney on
