CT Scan because of The Beatles
Weird crap I came across reading Wikipedia after drinking a little bit:
It has been claimed that thanks to the success of The Beatles, EMI could fund research and build early models for medical use. The first production X-ray CT machine (in fact called the "EMI-Scanner") was limited to making tomographic sections of the brain, but acquired the image data in about 4 minutes (scanning two adjacent slices), and the computation time (using a Data General Nova minicomputer) was about 7 minutes per picture. This scanner required the use of a water-filled Perspex tank with a pre-shaped rubber "head-cap" at the front, which enclosed the patient's head. The water-tank was used to reduce the dynamic range of the radiation reaching the detectors (between scanning outside the head compared with scanning through the bone of the skull). The images were relatively low resolution, being composed of a matrix of only 80 x 80 pixels. The first EMI-Scanner was installed in Atkinson Morley Hospital in Wimbledon, England, and the first patient brain-scan was made with it in 1972.

Home Shopping: Fun with a ladder
You know what's going to happen before you watch it, but you watch it anyway.
We've been using one of these that we borrowed from a friend. It's a little more wobbly than a normal ladder, so we were a kind of nervous. Now I guess it'll just be my wife going up it... J/K :)
