We all know that science is pretty awesome, and without it our civilization would be in dire straights.  Science cures diseases, explains and prevents natural disasters, but in our opinion the most recent scientific discovery is pretty freakin’ sexy.

After being traded to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this week, running back Jerome Harrison was undergoing a routine physical when doctors discovered a brain tumor. The discovery both nullified the trade from the Detroit Lions and may have saved Harrison’s life. He reportedly underwent surgery on Friday to remove the tumor.
