This Is Why You're Fat / Journey should not be a name, either! / Sucking Worms

This Is Why You're Fat - thanks, Billie! The food shown here is CRAZY!!!

While going through holiday_wishes, I came across one which apparently has been authored by a girl named JOURNEY. What the heck?! I suppose it IS better than Chaos, but still. Oh, and the kid named Heman registered for Awana last Saturday - I don't think he has a sister named Shera, but he DOES have an older brother named Truman. o_O

Poo nugget for Tuesday, December 8: Worms Suck - This day in 1813 marks the birth date of Angelo Dubini, the Italian physician who discovered the hookworm, a parasite that causes iron deficiency anemia. He found the worm, Anchylostoma duodenale, in 1843, when conducting an autopsy on a peasant woman. This worm literally sucks blood from the intestinal tract, and its spread amongst workers gave rise to such conditions as "miner's anemia" and "bricklayer's anemia."
