Salad Spinner Saves Lives

A salad spinner has been turned, so to speak, into a rudimentary centrifuge that medical clinics in developing countries can use to separate blood without electricity.

@epiksonik Since you have nothing better to say, and done nothing to help anyone with your complaint. You should just shut up. Watch and learn so you can do better things with your time.

@Pozorrogo

where are their inventions for us? why is it always an invention away?

Pathetic and nefarious at the same time....

@epiksonik What did YOU invent to help people in their daily lives?

... nothing, you say?

Bravo on your doing nothing, but finding the time to bitch about others small accomplishments.

Youre truly an ass-et to us all.

I know science fame whores aren't new but this strikes me...anyway, the "poorest" don't need expensive (yes, they CAN"T afford it) salad spinners to , what now science geeks? - diagnos anemia...oh yeah we forget that's the most important problem...Next week two doozies from another state will invent tire iron toothbrushes so the natives can get sparkly white teeth........Bravo on your viral accomplishments.

Ladies! Great job! I'm so jealous that I didn't think of that! (Although I've never even used a salad spinner before). You guys must be so excited! A centrifuge out of a salad spinner! Awesome! I would have liked to use one of these in my college biology class instead of the electric one! I really pray that this goes on to save lives! Congratulations!
