Scientific Breakthroughs from Jews and Muslims
Iran last week announced the invention of an earth-shattering product that civilized countries have had for decades:

Iranian Invents Camera for BlindAn Iranian inventor designed and produced the first photography and video camera for the blind.
Mahvash Sepehr told FNA that the camera works with color waves and their reactions and it can determine the distance automatically.
"Using this camera, blind people can recognize the distance and position of the subject, " she said, adding that she has also invented special tanks for the blind to develop their negatives.
"Once the film is developed, the tank starts ringing to warn the blind person that it is time to bring the negative out of the liquid," the Iranian inventor concluded.
I know what you are thinking: film developer timers already exist and who the hell wants to develop old style film and any American camera already has auto-focus and why would blind people want to take photographs for anyway?
But I say why be negative (no pun intended). Considering that Muslims like to poke out or drill the eyes of those they dislike, this might be a handy invention. Perhaps it's even mandatory for taking naked photos of women while you are blindfolded, although I should try to get a fatwah on the matter from "Ask an Imam."
In a feeble attempt to outdo the Iranians, Israel yesterday announced a useless discovery on the mechanism that spreads cancer:
Israel National News,

Weizmann Researchers Identify Mechanism Behind Spread of CancerA team of researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rechovot has revealed new details about the mechanism by which cancerous cells migrate through the body. Such migration, called metastasis, is the leading cause of death among cancer patients.
...
The recently published results of this collaboration add significantly to the understanding of metastasis and may aid, in the future, in the development of anti-cancer drugs.
Who the hell needs a cure for cancer when blind people can now take photos they can't look at anyway?
On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I host Open Trackback parties. This allows bloggers who have interesting posts to share them with my readers and therefore, presumably, a wider audience. My normal rules for linking, Bernie's 8 Rules, are suspended. That is, there is no set topic and as long as the post is not a splog entry, you can link whatever you like especially if it is offensive to Islam. Nothing linked here indicates that I either agree with or support or even like the opinions being expressed. But these bloggers generously host some of my insane, disgusting writings and I hope to repay them with this courtesy.
What is this?
Please send a trackback to this post, but don’t forget to link it. For other bloggers participating, visit linkfest haven deluxe to see other linkfests.
