Scientists build model gut

British scientists have built an artificial stomach that simulates the human digestive process.

The scientists said they made the metal and plastic model to test how glucose is absorbed in the bloodstream, to help develop new nutrients, and to provide a snappy retort when a rival tells them he 'hates their guts.'

The software-controlled stomach is so realistic, it even vomits during 'American Idol.'

In its first experiment, it will be fed Thanksgiving dinner, to study "Turkey Coma."

OR

Shouldn't the British be concerned first with developing modern dentistry?
