Yes, here it is already, Hump Day for the week of November 4, 2012. That means it’s time to take a short break and recharge our batteries for the remainder of the week with a mini-vacation. Last week our destination was Ho Chi Minh City, and in previous weeks we’ve gone to Malaysia, Lake Tahoe, Tasmania, the Grand Canyon, and …
OBAMA TRIES TO SAVE THE A
CAN OBAMA SAVE THE A? He’s trying, but it isn’t going well so far. One thing you can say for Dr. Ricardo Azziz: the man is tenacious. And he’s what is sometimes called a company man. That’s someone whose allegiance to his employer comes before personal beliefs or loyalty to fellow workers. Despite poll results (which he requested), he mounted …
More NUMB3RS!
3.2 million of them, to be specific. A guy sticks his face in a copier – and who of us hasn’t done that? – and a couple o’ three million dots later, viola! (or as some prefer, voila!) A work of art emerges courtesy of his son, artist Miguel Endara. View full screen if you like. The Making of “Hero” …
I should be dead.
Yes indeed, I should be dead. This short video explains all the reasons why. Then again, from another perspective, it explains precisely why I’m not.
We’re Going to Ho Chi Minh City
It’s Hump Day, so it’s time for a break. Let’s go to what used to be called Saigon, and as a bonus, everyone who watches this will get profound new respect for how smooth and orderly the traffic flows in [fill in the blank for your city, or the city you think has horrendous traffic]. I don’t think they believe …
Hump Day Hiatus No. 10-24
Perhaps you’ve seen this before. It’s an unusual choice for our Hump Day Hiatus since it isn’t a destination you can point to on a map. However, it is a destination worth traveling to: the place where we don’t judge books by their covers or, more importantly, where we don’t judge people by their looks, their clothing, and other superficial …
NIKKI WHITE’S STORY
This week’s Medical Examiner has a column by 2nd year MCG medical student Ross Everett, the only man alive who uses the word “indubitably.” But if we overlook that (and I’m sure we can if we try), he makes some excellent points about healthcare reform, with Exhibit A being people like Nikki White. Take just a few moments to watch …
One Big Hole Hump Day Hiatus
I have dug several holes in my life (literally and figuratively). Some of them were pretty big, but none of them ever turned out quite this spectacular.
It’s Wednesday!!!
Obviously that means it’s time for this week’s Hump Day Hiatus. Today our refreshing videocation takes us to Rio de Janeiro and Carnival. Those people know how to throw a parade. Holy cow. If you like the Rose Parade or Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade – spoiler alert – the very best floats in those parades are going to look pathetic …
Feel your boobies
That’s what an illustration on the back cover of this week’s Medical Examiner encourages. Trouble is, doctors say many women don’t know how to properly and effectively perform a breast self-exam. In this video, a doctor takes a patient through the steps of both how to do BSE correctly, as well as when it should be done. It’s different for …
