Creepy link, Aurelia. I don't remember that story getting much attention at the time either, though I suspect that the tin foil hat crowd probably have files on it.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'd like to point out that Betsy missed a prime opportunity to quote "Assassins."

My favorite Banana Splits had one of the girls (they were some kind of gang, weren't they?)
Yep, The Sour Grape Bunch. We had a piece on them in the book.
Paul Winchell and the artificial heart is as oddly pleasing as Hedy Lamarr and the radiotelemetry/sonar doohickey.
The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is the cardiocyber parts
The tops are made of the rubber
the bottom is spring loaded hearts

If I only had a brain...
Yeah, I was off watching *The Amazing Race* during prime assassin-discussing time. Sob!

I'm just not sure how much bouncing you'd want to do with an artificial heart.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't you get an artificial heart to enable bouncing?

I thought you got one to enable (continued) breathing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Come to think of it, one doesn't really need an artifical heart. All you do is put a bunch of glitter (the stuff used in snow-globes) in your bloodstream, and then have someome (or a machine) flip you upside-down or rightside up every few minutes. The snowglobe snow moving from the top of your body to the bottom will circulate your blood for you.

I don't think they limit you to just breathing, though.

That doesn't sound bounce-friendly at all. Or maybe it's bounce-mandatory.

Finally. Something that explains this.
