    SpongeBob once did open-heart surgery on Squidward where only ONE heart sprung a bloody leaky. So I guess Squidward survived because his other two hearts were untouched. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4JgQGxymtk

    In the Civil War…. disease and gangrene ( a post-surgical disease, I guess) took their toll. A lot of soldiers died before they went into battle to be killed. What a waste!

    Thought of the day. When you brush your teeth, you are actually cleaning part of your skeleton.

    Many of those diseases were brought on by wounds not treated with anti-bacterials, which did not exist then. Also by other primitive methods of treating wounds.

    One giant bone.

    Actually. It’s a funny thing, but the largest bone in the human body is the humerus. That’s why it’s a funny thing.

    Actually, that’s a lie. The largest human bone is the femur, in the leg. But the humerus is the analogous bone in the arm. But femur isn’t funny.

    And, ironically, the funny bone is not funny. And it isn’t a bone at all, but the part of the elbow where the ulnar nerve is vulnerable to any sharp impact, which impact can produce alarming pain followed by numbness.

    Unless the funny bone is taken to mean the innate sense of humor in an individual, in which case it is not a bone or a part of the human body or funny.

    Civil war; Infection was a real killer. No penicillin back then, or much of anything else. Sanitary conditions amounted to a whole in the ground. Soldiers drank surface water.

    Thought OCTO meant 8 in Latin?
