The staples used to seal an incision on my dads vertebral colnum sure looked like those you would find at any office. Though this might just be the NHS cutting costs.

We have the fourth largest army in the world that we "need" for playing cowboys and indians in the desert, yet our national government, unelected by you or I, chooses to cut the NHS rather than reducing the current British army into a force designed purely for self defence. Even though the armed forces/military sector are facing heavy cuts, they're not heavy enough. How much of the 350 million pounds we're spending on, I shit you not, just planning for the actual renewal of our nuclear defence system could be spent on cleaning up hospitals and giving them some more sodding beds?

Normal glue actually works just find for closing wounds, and medical glue isn't really all that different from standard store-bought superglue.

Is that your WTF, or is that an argument against Owlbreads post?

When I had my appendix removed, they used similar stuff too - I guess it's mostly about the mechanical holding together. Most of the actual work is done by the body itself ;)

I walk into class, and my professor puts this on the projector. Nothing is said after it is over and class continues as normal. Fucking PhDs, man.

I will admit to introducing classes of mine to Nyan Cat, Colins Giraffe, that He-Man Heyaheyahey thing and a fair few other shitty internet humour videos. Doing something pointless and stupid is a decent ice breaker for new classes and a good attention grab for ones you have had for a while that might be dozing off.

In grad school, I had a PoliSci prof that used Daily Show clips as a springboard into discussion for the week (this was one of those "3 hr class once a week" deals). Given that it was a course on public opinion, media and the Iraq War (*during* the heyday of the Iraq War, fall of 2006) that made for an awesome class.

Especially when he'd say, "I feel like a beer. Class adjourned, we'll reconvene in 15 minutes across the street. Save me a seat and order me a Fat Tire."

Beer makes politics infinitely more enjoyable to study.




Also had a terrorism professor that would show these bits of kids' cartoons from Gaza and the West Bank where the heroic kid sees half his family killed by the evil robot/stormtrooper-like IDF, and it ends with him strapping on a suicide vest and blowing up some Israeli soldiers. Dat shit be fucked-up, yo.

If I ever teach a class, I think I'm going to pretend to be a North Korean mindslave. Have pictures of the Kims plastered all over everything and show Best Korean Propaganda during downtime.

This will, of course, necessitate that I get a Generalissimo outfit and ridiculous hair.
