January 29th, 2007I’m dying at these edited TV videos, they are freaking hilarious.
Doogie Howser may be my favorite, followed by The Golden Girls; however, this was before I saw that they digitally edited floppy penises to all the Zoobilee Zoo characters. (This is especially sacreligious, given that my grandma and I had a running joke about how creepy that show was already.)
January 29th, 2007It’s been recalled! It may contain Listeria, which is classically the “dairy” bacteria that makes infants and pregnant women very sick.
January 27th, 2007Three-quarters of a ton of Trader Joe’s Thai chicken-pasta salad has been recalled because of possible listeria contamination, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Thursday.
The 12-ounce plastic containers of “spicy Thai-style pasta salad, with chicken breast” bear the number “P-21252” inside the USDA inspection mark, and a sell-by date of “1-25-07,” according to the USDA.
Consumers should return the salad to stores or throw it away. Listeria bacteria can cause serious illness.
The salad was produced last Friday by Garden Leaf Foods in Gardena (Los Angeles County) and sold at Trader Joe’s in California, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico, the USDA said. For details, visit www.fsis.usda.gov/News_&_Events/Recall_006_2007_Release/index.asp

January 24th, 2007If you get squeamish from popping zits, you probably won’t like this. (On my surgery rotation, we incised and drained a gigantic abscess in this guy’s calf, and it flowed out just as well. Disgusting, but fun.)
January 17th, 2007Why I actually turned 4-year med school into 5-year med school: longer lifespan!

January 3rd, 200767 studies later, we still can’t find evidence that gay parents are worse than straight ones. (I just liked the article title.)
