Corey buzzed me earlier with this:

[16:35:42] Corey: Ia Ia Cthulhu Fhtagn!
[16:35:58] Corey: Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
[16:38:16] Corey: !a !a ShubNiggurath!

I think he's gone crazy! Thought it was Wookie-speak, or possibly something from LOTR. Then he informed me that it wasn't the BORG... in fact, it was from H.P. Lovecraft. Can't say I've gotten much into that, even if John B. did tell me about it in 2003. Oh well.


Poo nugget for Wednesday, Feb. 4: Dr. Stool Says - Pooless Joe Jackson - In the early 1900s, a teenage boy suffered for many years from abdominal distention and bloating. His family and physicians noted that he rarely had bowel movements and that his abdomen ballooned in size. After his premature death from intestinal perforation, an autopsy revealed a dilated, cavernous colon, chock-filled with copious foul-smelling stool. This young man likely suffered from what is now known as Hirschprung's disease, a congenital disease in which there is an absence of the nerve cells that are responsible for propelling stool through the colon. This "intestinal paralysis" results in an inability to defecate and causes progressive stretching of the intestines, eventually (if untreated) leading to intestinal rupture.

Writer's Block: Table for One
Do you ever go out to dinner (at a sit-down restaurant) by yourself?

Of course I do, and sometimes prefer it since I can do my own thing without being bothered by other people. I don't understand people who can't do this.
