This is a tough one. Would I rather stay paralysed or be BLUE!

We're one step closer to creating an X-Man, I'm pretty psyched.

a quasi-paralysed X-man.

Woman who has never felt pain experiences it for the first time

A woman born incapable of feeling pain has been hurt for the first time – thanks to a drug normally prescribed for opioid overdoses. She was burned with a laser

I'm picturing a variation on one of those videos where someone has just received a cochlear implant or had surgery to restore their vision and is walking around in a teary-eyed daze and taking in all of this new sensory input and talking about how amazing it all is except in this case it's a video of the woman's loved ones smashing bottles over her head and slamming her fingers in doors.

One that's more IgNobel bait.

de Clercq et al, 2019. The effect of having Christmas dinner with in-laws on gut microbiota composition. Human Microbiome Journal, p.100058.

In participants visiting in-laws, there was a significant decrease in all Ruminococcus species, known to be associated with psychological stress and depression. A larger randomized controlled study is needed to reproduce these findings before we can recognize in-laws as a potential risk factor for the gut microbiota composition and subsequently host health.

First line:

Christmas and feces appear to have a traditional yet mysterious connection.
