    Parachute Fail Victim Receives First Implant of the Eon Mini Pacemaker For Pain

    Pretty interesting news about a U.S. Army's "Golden Knights" Parachute Team jumper. Something like this could help millions of people not have to use hard core script pills and worry about getting addicted.

    I thought this particular one was not much larger than a quarter. It was the Eisenhower silver dollar that I remember being huge. Ya don't see those too much anymore. This however is the back side of the Sacagawea Dollar. Those were small.

    Umm, no. The eagle on the back of a Sacagawea dollar is soaring, not landing on the moon... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_dollar_coin

    That *IS* the Eisenhower dollar. It's nearly four centimeters across.

    IIRC from my geek childhood, that makes that pacemaker about the same size as a Mark I Phaser, right?

    Oh, my bad, it's about half that size:
