So, does it make me strange if I have an unusual fondess for body parts such as kidneys and intestines?
Anyway, not too long ago on the Discovery Channel I was watching "Discoveries This Week." Among other interesting science updates they had a little robot camera about the size of a large pill. The scientists strapped a large velcro belt with a sort of electronic moniter around a man, so that after he swallowed the pill it could send images of what it saw to the computer on the belt. Well, after about 8 hours of wearing the belt, the pill-sized camera was passed and the man returned to the scientists to see what the belt monitor had recorded. It was rather interesting! The intestines looked like a long tube, very dark and very pink. They said such a thing had never been done before, and that the technology would likely be used to diagnose intestinal diseases.

I would love to have a video of the inside my digestive tract. I think that sort of thing is fascinating. Just wait, soon this technology will be available to everyone for entertainment purposes.
