The WIPP?! I love it... a desolate plain of windblown sand, gathering around the base of massive, repulsive obsidian and concrete pillars. Then again, maybe we just go with, "There be dragons."

The benefits of portable units at a non-devastating price have more implications for democratization of quality of care than anything else. WebMD and Google have already let the other genie well and truly out of the bottle. Edit: By the way

Sorcerers do exist, it's just that their methodology is based on faulty premises, and what they do doesn't work because magic isn't real. Just like torturers, who do all kinds of things according to supposed art/science,
