By ANNE EISENBERG

A company based in Paris has designed an artificial heart fashioned in part from cow tissue that will soon be tested in human patients with heart failure.

 


The statue of Desperate Dan in Dundee City Centre alongside a statue of Beano character, Minnie the Minx.

 Desperate Dan is a wild west character in the British comic The Dandy. He made his appearance in the first issue which was dated 4 December 1937. He is apparently the world's strongest man, able to lift a cow with one hand. The pillow of his (reinforced) bed is filled with building rubble and his beard is so tough he shaves with a blowtorch.

 Cow dung, also known as cow scat, is the waste product of bovine animal species. These species include domestic cattle ("cows"), bison ("buffalo"), yak and water buffalo. Cow dung is the undigested residue of plant matter which has passed through the animal's gut. The resultant faecal matter is rich in minerals. Colour ranges from greenish to blackish, often darkening soon after exposure to air. It is also known in the American southeast and west as "cow pies".
