A trichinobezoar is an extreme hairball that can be found in the stomach or intestines. Some people have to have them surgically removed. Hair is indigestible (which explains why cats spit of hairballs). It was once believed that bezoars could act as universal antidote to any poison.

Bluestocking means a woman with scholarly or literary interests. The name came from The Blue Stocking Society, nickname for a mostly female literary club in 18th Century London. Don’t know much about the club, but I came across the word in Vanity Fair.

According to Scientific American, parallel universes are real. I hope SA is right. Cause that's disturbing and cool.

I have some weird favorite body parts. Like the epiglottis. It's just so fascinating. I touch mine sometimes and it retracts...makes me gag of course, but it's just so darn cool, the functionality of it. I also am fond of my uvula, but I've never tried to touch it. It looks fragile all hangy dangy back there in my mouth. My sister is obsessed with her puncta, which is that little gland/pore thing in your inner eye. Are you touching yours? I'm touching mine. I also adore a good medulla oblongata. They turn me on.

Now they probably didn't de-stem, hoping for some semblance of concentration, crushed it up with leaves and mice, and then wound up with this rancid tar and turpentine bull**. Fin' Raid. Jack: Tastes pretty good to me.
