And yet another fun factoid...

Two posts in one day??? Holy majoly! [It's called procrastination, people.] So, I'm knee-deep in organic chem, thoroughly enjoying myself as always (and THAT'S sarcasm), when I run across this fun little piece of information:

(reading about nitrogen-containing compounds, for all of you non-science geeks out there)

"One other characteristic of amines is their odor. [Now, odor was italicized, mind you, apparently to give it some sort of special effect. Which was promptly lost on me.] Low-molecular-weight amines such as trimethylamine have a distinctive fishlike aroma [yummmy!], while diamines such as cadaverine [wait, what? this can't be good. wait for it, waaaaaiiittt for it....] have names that are self-explanatory."

That'll wake ya up in the morning. Who wants breakfast???

'Just' desserts

So, I noticed something peculiar at work the other day. Now, it could just look bad. Perhaps I've been spending too much time at work (and am therefore incredibly loopy). Or maybe, just maybe, these two just need to get along...

"Downtown" cheesecake

"Uptown" cheesecake

Now, am I the only one who sees something wrong here? Don't wanna break out the 'r' word, but it's right there, staring at you, in all of its cheesy, calorie-laden splendor. WHO named these, anyway? :P

Oh, THERE you are...

I have once again been neglecting my blog. BIG time. Oops. I know all of you (all, um, 4 of you??...haa haa!) were glued to edge of your seats, waiting for my return, and I apologize for my tardiness.

I'm busy with stuff. MCAT is T-minus one month (Holy shit!...excuse my vulgar language), my class is in full swing, and work takes up too much time. Cold season is also in full swing, and I just hit a home run....baaahh hahahaaaaa...have I ever mentioned I lovelovelove bad humor? Speaking of bad humor...(I stole this off of one of my favorite blogs...sorry for not copyrighting or anything, but I don't really think I need to do that. I mean, really?)...

A new-ish med student on a surgery rotation was told by the intern before his first case case that whenever he farted in the OR, he had to announce it, so the attending wouldn't think they had nicked the bowel.Unfortunately, he had also had made some not-so-good dietary choices, so he felt the need, was unable to hold it in, and passed gas. "Uh, I, uh, passed gas," he announced. No one said anything. After a little while, it happened again. "Sorry, I farted again." A little grunt of acknowledgment from the attending. Toward the end of the case, it happened again: "I passed gas again."The attending stopped what he was doing, looked up at him, and said, "Boy, what is WRONG with you? This is a KNEE!"

HEH! That reminds me, I should be studying. Oh, happy day!

Jilly is sooooo big! Almost walking, too! Go, Jill, go!
