Jimmy Fallon, everybody! This week, Diggnation is visited by the man from the future, bearing hot chocolate and outer space insight to talk over Digg.com stories including xenon gas given to newborn babies to repair brain trauma, a porn virus that has records of all its victims, and a super slow-mo, HD video of Apollo 11's launch!

Newborn is Given Xenon Gas For Brain Trauma

A British hospital has become the first in the world to give xenon gas to a stricken new-born baby to prevent it suffering brain injury. Riley Joyce received the life-transforming treatment at St Michael's Hospital, Bristol, when he was taken there suffering from lack of oxygen. According to Dr. Scientist Alex, the science of it is based on brain trauma; just put the baby on ice to cool it down, and it only inhales xenon gasses and fixes their brain.

The guys then detour on a Food Network tangent as their hot chocolate pudding turns to delicious chocolate glue.

Like a scene from Superman 3, this is an excellent, slow motion high definition video of the Apollo 11 launch. The question is: would you go to space with Richard Branson? The answer is: YES. The next question is: do you get hammered in space or before?
