Doctors at Hokum General Hospital admitted today that they were baffled by the condition of Hokum housewife Mrs Xera Anthal, 57, whose apparent expertise in high-energy physics emerged after a routine rectal probe procedure went terribly wrong (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=120230).
"It's all very strange," said Doctor Nina Kaland, head of rectal probes and anal abnormalities. "We were proceeding quite normally with our probing when a junior assistant mistook her curling tongs for a surgical appliance and unfortunately Mrs Anthal received 240 volts rectally. Since then Mrs Anthal has been stunning the world of physics with her insightful theories of space and time."
But local historian Mr Terry Tonias insists there is nothing new in this occurrence. Speaking from the next bed to Mrs Anthal, Mr Tonias said:
"It's not the first time electrifying the nether regions has induced genius. Einstein's true genius emerged only when the great man was caught on an electrified fence during his escape from the Germans during the war … which also explains his odd hair-do. And Archimedes proclaimed eureka only when Mrs Archimedes accidentally dropped the electric toaster in his bath."
Doctor Kaland was unsure.
"All that may or may not be true," she said. "Though I have my doubts that electric toasters existed back in Archimedes' day. No, it may simply be a case that applying high voltage to one’s back passage concentrates the mind in a very unique way. Or perhaps it's not. Don't ask me - I mess about with people's bottoms all day - how much more of a failed doctor can you get?"
But the last word belongs to Mrs Anthal.
"If you collide two atoms of roanium at an energy greater than 10 billion electron volts, you'll liberate an intermediate vector boson travelling faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. Has anyone seen the calamine lotion?"
