People forget what the internet is like outside of TheBore. Everyone's got a huge cock out there to make us feel like shit. But not here, we're safe here.

A team of French researchers has developed an artificial heart that resembles and beats almost exactly like the real thing. The news is providing renewed hope to hundreds of thousands of patients who suffer from heart failure and for whom standard drug therapy, ventricular assistance or a heart transplant have failed or aren't possible. The team, led by Dr Alain Carpentier, a renowned French heart surgeon, presented a prototype of the artificial heart during a press conference Monday in Paris. Carpentier has been working on this project for the past 15 years. "This new total artificial heart is a first, because it is made of biosynthetic tissues," Patrick Coulombier, deputy managing director of Carmat, the biomedical company that developed the heart, told ABCnews.com. These materials, made from animal tissue, are less likely to be rejected by the human body.
