Feb 28, 2009: Scalpel Drum
Scalpel Drum? What the hell is a Scalpel Drum?
This, is a Scalpel Drum.
Wow, that's really impressive. 
Now, what's it for, what's it do?
| Test drums for ophthalmic scalpels, still in use by eye doctors around 1965. Made by stretching a piece of kidskin taut on a drum, the scalpel was sharp enough if it cut the fibers under its own weight. This was from before the days of single-use surgical instruments; the scalpels were sharpened and sterilized before procedures. |

They need to bring them back. The crap they are getting from overseas doesn't last past the skin.

I see. The scalpel drums are used to test the sharpness of scalpels, while the sharpness of arrowheads are tested on plain ol' scalps.

It's cool. It's a very simple calibration instrument. I like.

Besides, you can't eat a dead hooker all at once.

There's only so much you can fit into the oven.
I'm German, and know about ovens...
