Wellcome Awards: The Most Stunning Medical Images of 2009

They may want to consider getting a new panel of judges. Stunning? I think not. These photos were unimpressive at best.

Aspirin crystal crop circles? No doubt made by very small aliens.

I agree with Khayman... there were a couple of images I thought were well done like the hair follicle axons, but come on,,, the mechanical heart? Based on whether or not I would forward the link to my blog or facebook, I would say not interesting medical pictures.

the lung cancer looked like a small different colored city. that just keeps expanding and expanding

Khayman: your comment just tells us that you undoubtedly play bright, colorful, animated video games all day that have left you no ability to appreciate real life, regardless of scale. Now, go back to your Super Mario Brothers and leave the adults alone.

Rib2: as to the "crop circles" micrograph, I had a similar thought: it struck me as resembling the cryptographic symbols on Mayan and Aztec ruins. I wonder if the shapes have some significance-- perhaps they serve as abrasive teeth that scour away surfaces, such as the plaques associated with arterial disease, explaining why aspirin helps prevent heart attacks. And maybe it is that lamprey-mouth-like surface that also scours away the lining of the stomach, causing the bleeding it is associated with.

@billdale: trolling troll is trolling

@billdale: alternatively, khayman's comment tells us that he is a self-important douchebag who uses worn out phrases such as, "I think not..." and "(adjective) is/was/were feeble at best," who is better suited to criticizing the work of others than actually doing something productive.
