Hoping Winter Leaves Soon...

If this cold weather (and I'm talking about the freezing temperatures in the library, too) does not go away soon, I'm going to end up looking like this lady. Her red blood cells clot in small vessels when it gets cold....

The Glory of the Worms

No, this is not chocolate pudding with topping. This is stool with an Ascaris on top. Ewwwwwww. Shocking statistic: 1/5 of the world's population has this worm living inside their bowels. The worst part is that even with the effective medication, the worm still has to come out!...i.e. you still have to go through the trauma of seeing a long fat worm come out of your body. Personally, I'd probably elect to visit my friendly neighborhood GI and have him/her take it out for me during a colonoscopy. There is just no need to suffer like that with available technology.....

Here We Go Again....How Much Longer

Today the Coptic Christians celebrate the birth of our Savior (we're on the Old Calendar). As the Christmas service was ending, a shooting was started in a village in Egypt. Six young Copts were killed. This story is getting really old. How many acts of violence do Christians and "infidels" need to suffer at the hands of these people?!

Two more news comments:
1. Ramy, the Egyptian dental student from Howard who is now in court in Pakistan apparently said yesterday at one of the first hearings, "We are not terrorists, we are jihadists....jihad is not terror." Ok, Ramy. And to think that this was someone who was getting a full-ride by an American university to become a well-paid dentist. Congratulations, Ramy for screwing up the rest of your life. Clearly, God is blessing you and guiding you down a REALLY GOOD path.

2. This is a great article on Europe's foolish political correctness towards a particular group of people. Parliament can really do the West a favor and go inspect Curry Mile in Manchester (I was sure I saw Bin Laden at a cafe there one night) and Edgeware Road in London. These places are more disgusting than places in the Middle East. http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/01/04/leiken.abdulmutallab.london/index.html

Rant done.
