Poo nugget for Friday, Feb. 6: Presidential Polyps - February 6 is the birthday of Ronald Reagan (1911-2004), the fortieth president of the United States. President Reagan had a long and complicated gastrointestinal history, which included a diagnosis of colon cancer. Having had a longstanding history of polyps, Mr. Reagan underwent frequent colonoscopic examinations which, in 1985, revealed an early stage colon cancer. He underwent surgery the day after diagnosis (so he wouldn't have to clean out his colon again!), and transferred presidential power to Vice President George Bush for approximately eight hours.

OCDL note of the night: I now have 560 Blogger tags.
