Strange Days

Today I learned a new word: "pititis", which basically means inflammation of the pits. Don't ask any questions....just enjoy the pititiness of the word.

Weird book title of the day: "Saliva as a diagnostic fluid" ....a whole 300+ pages of it too. Someone definitely has too much time on their hands.

Also weird....in my parents' common bathroom, there sits a variety of reading material. You have your usual standard magazine issues. And THEN....on top, two romance novels (presumably my mom's) and underneath that is the original copy of my dad's thesis, for partial fulfillment of this PhD., entitled "Electrophysiological and functional studies of the lateral habenular nucleus" (1975). ?!?!!? Someone must have been taking a huge dump to want to read that one.
