slashed artery....depending on artery, the person can still be saved. if i'm not wrong...non-major arteries when ruptured can be clamped down and then repaired. not sure how they do it though...but i know thats possible. also, some major ones won;t result in an immediate death...take the femoral for instance...you can survive that if you treat it dast enough. carotid is a 40-60 chance of survival and aorta...i think we all know about that...

Jupitar Fact 1
Composed almost entirely of gas. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. Its diameter is 88,700 miles, more than 11 times longer than Earth. Jupitar is so big that, if it were hollow, all the other planets in our solar system could fit inside it. Fact 2
The Earth takes 24 hours to make a complete rotation, but Jupitar takes less than 10 hours. that means the surface of Jupitar is moving at something like 28,000 miles per hour!

Ever wondered why the alphabets on the keyboard is not arranged in alphabetical order?
In 1872, Remington produced the first mechanical typewriter, patented by C. Latham Sholes. Soon typists were going so fast that they were able to jam the keys which flew up to hit the typewriter ribbon. In the late 1870's: the "improved" Qwerty layout was designed to slow down typing, so those pesky keys would not jam anymore. Here is the speed trap we are stuck with today, 130 years later.
