consider yourself lucky you don't work in a clinical lab... every once in a blue moon we get one in for testing and identification.  They can get frighteningly big.

And if you have one and you develop a nagging little cough, it's because your worm is crawling up your esophagus and tickling the back of your throat.
















How are your dreams, TE?

What's that between "no diet" and "no exercise?"

Always the literalist, huh Lubec?






My real questions: why would anyone not want to bathe, and what does it have to do with losing weight.  I'm guessing some 19th century snake-oil salesman had a "bath cure?"

Hey, I just thought your eyes were bothering you.

To continue the literalist trend, I believe very hot baths used to be used as weight-loss aids.  Consider that people still use steam baths and saunas for this purpose.

Also, taking a pleasant hot bath/shower would have been much more difficult back then. You'd either have to have hot water in your house (which a lot of people didnt) or boil some on the stove.
