Hump Day Hiatus

Feeling stressed? It is a common malady of today’s world. I hope this soothing video of the beautiful Swiss Alps will release all the day’s tension and leave you refreshed and ready to tackle the remainder of the day. Have a great rest of the day!

How did this happen???

The latest issue of the Medical Examiner, dated Friday, October 17, was posted Friday, October 17, on Facebook and on issuu.com (it’s always at issuu.com/medicalexaminer), bit for some reason not here at the Medical Examiner blog. It was probably all the excitement surrounding our Bicentennial (200th) Issue. Let us herewith rectify that oversight immediately.

Pet Therapy

Saturday is always a good day for Pet Therapy. That’s why we do it.

Thursdays=Music Therapy

Today’s therapy session is of recent vintage: Zac Brown teaming up with Foo Fighters on The Letterman Show from earlier this week. Then again, it’s a vintage performance, since it covers War Pigs, a Black Sabbath song from their 1970 album Paranoid.

Take a break on us!

If it’s Hump Day, that can only mean one thing: it’s time for a break. You’ve made it to this week’s halfway point (this being Week 42 of 52). The all-important second half lies ahead. Let’s refresh and recharge to prepare our assault on the remainder of Ol’ 42. To accomplish said refreshment, a brief vacation is in order. Rather …

PSA of the Week

If you must carry around a can of spray paint and tag everything in sight, at least be creative. Never be crude or vulgar. Whenever possible, make a contribution to public health and the greater good of the community through your graffiti.

I Love Monday

One word. You know what it is. The C word. Ahhhhh….

Church Chat

As we discuss our frequent topic – evolution versus creation – there is a common sub-theme that has surfaced several times, that being our assertion that the #1 reason for atheism is religion. Undoubtedly there is good in all religions. Without doubt, the loft principles religions teach are not practiced by a certain percentage of their followers, whether they are …

Just how we drew it up

On the Fridays between Medical Examiner issues we like to do a little thing we call That’s Exactly How I Meant To Do It. It’s not what you intend to do that matters; it’s all in the flawless execution of your plan. Sterling examples follow.

V is for Video

While the rest of the known world celebrates TBT, we use Thursdays for musical interludes. However, there is nothing wrong with combining the two. Feel free to listen to this while you look at TBT pix. That is legal in most states. This is also suitably quiet and mellow, making it SFW even if no vintage pictures are within sight. …
