Now fear this!

I was a little surprised to learn that the most wished for item under Amazon's Health and Beauty section is currently Philips HeartStart Home Automated External Defibrillator. The description from the web site:

The Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator. It's the latest in essential safety equipment. Fire extinguishers. Seat belts. Airbags. Home security systems. All essential safety equipment to protect yourself and your loved ones. You know they are there, silently standing by, just in case. They give you peace of mind so that you can focus on life's good things.*

Apparently virtually anyone can use it, it talks you through the steps to jump start someone's heart, but you can't use it on yourself. Darn.

Personally, I'd much rather have this any old day. No other present company needed for this baby. (No, it's not one of those. Get out of the gutter, you.)
