What's mildly amusing you today?

So long as he doesn't sing while doing a gyn exam.

What would he sing?

Rock my soul in the cervix of Abraham?

He's got the whole world in his uterus?

Plenty of options here, just ... not this one, please.



or this

This, over on FB.

If you type "L" then you will like it. And then others will see that you like it and they will wonder what hitting "L" does and they will like it too. And so on.

It's stupid and virus like, but amusing that I fell for it.

Thing is, now that I know this, I can't un-know it. My annual exam is in just a couple weeks (I learned about the music thing because I was trying to schedule the appointment online.)

I really, really want to casually tell him my favorite Christian rock band is Faith+1, just to see what he says.

This may really belong in the "mixed feelings" thread, actually.

I play in a jazz combo in which my GP is the drummer. Living in a small community inures you to the fact that doctors and others who have access to confidential information are just people, after all ...

Been watching these guys for the last few weeks. And the thing that always strikes me is

Thousands of years ago mankind usually had a perfectly dark sky; and so, every clear night, unlike us, they saw all 6000 visible stars and the Milky Way.

They didn't have TV. Entertainment of any kind was hard to come by. Even books, no. Drama, no. Shakespeare had not been invented. All they had was this night sky, and the moon and the patterns, which moved around during the year. And then these other things, brighter than the usual stars, that actually did move around faster; man, if you didn't know anything about it, that could really mess with your uneducated brain.

You would really be trying to figure out what all the patterns mean, and maybe to connect it to the rest of the physical world that you are aware of.

UT, I'm fascinated by that too...

I made a business trip to Crakow, Poland years ago and had one of
those special moments when you realize you're standing in a very
historical place.

It still makes me appreciate how smart some people were back in earlier times,
and for others, how easy it would have been to attribute magical powers to lights in the sky.

And things are different now?

Yes, I think things are very different.
Can you imagine, for example, what it took for Copernicus
to go against "common sense", the teachings of the elders,
and power of the church, at the time.

Or Semmelweis, Snow, and Koch coming up with the germ theory of disease.

Maybe mathematics has remained the same in terms of thinking and innovation,
but the scientific method has changed the world, and our bases for "common sense".
Now, even the moderately intelligent can find ways to help explain the physical world.

Plus, the pill radically changed the influence of religion.

OK, it's time right NOW if you're on the east coast of the US...

Go find Venus !

Go out around 4 p.m. local time on Monday, and position yourself
so that the sun is behind a chimney or rooftop to your right.
Blocking the sun is always essential if you're looking anywhere close to the sun.
WARNING: Never look directly at the sun with your unaided eye
or through binoculars or telescopes without special light filters. Severe eye damage can result.

Then face due south, and look two-thirds of the way up the sky towards overhead.
If the sky is clear, you should be able to clearly see the crescent moon.
Look just above the moon, and you should be able to see Venus as a tiny brilliant pinpoint of light.



If you have difficulty, try using binoculars to focus on the moon.
Before using binoculars, make doubly sure that the sun is still
safely behind the chimney or rooftop.
Always take extreme care when using binoculars in a daytime sky
and never point them at the sun without using a solar filter.

Venus is not the only object currently shining bright in the evening and nighttime sky.
Tonight, Venus will appear near the moon and Jupiter for the second night
in a row in an event that astronomers call a conjunction.

At sunset tonight, Venus will appear in the west just to the right
of the crescent moon with Jupiter shining below.
In the eastern night sky, Mars is also currently visible at night
and is unmistakeable due to its reddish hue.

I'm glad you didn't say Go find Uranus.
