I've always been fascinated by the human body, because, well, I don't know.

I would like your opinion on the human body, and what runs it.

KEWL FAKTZ: The spinal cord is as thick as your thumb, and your heart is the same size as your fist.

I think it's strange that when I sit in a chair without back support for too long, my spine compresses and I'm about an inch shorter. However, when I lie down for about an hour after this, my spine is straight and I'm back to my full height.

I also think it's strange that when I eat, I lose weight. Damn metabolism.

I think tongues are sexy.

I think tongues are sexy.

Even when they have fungi?

It's a good thing we don't have to grow up like this:

Are you kidding? That would be the best shit ever.

:p

It's fine by me if you want to grow up like that, it's just that I would'nt.

I've never heard of a tongue with its own set of mushrooms.

Pointless fact: You are tallest in the morning and get shorter as the day goes on. Unless you spend the day in bed.

female body..... mmmmmm :P

female body..... mmmmmm :P
Any particular favourite parts? I like tongues!

Any particular favourite parts? I like tongues!
tounges, hands, boobs, arms, legs, bums, stomachs, necks, hair, faces, eyes, lips, ears, feet, wrists, pussy, clit, nipples, hips, all the curvy bits...... basically any bit that is either sexy or can be counted as an erogenous zone (which is pretty much the whole body really ;) :p)

The reason I went to med school was because the human body fascinates me. Brain-hormone interactions (neuroendocrinology) was my favourite of course, but I by no way discriminate when it comes to the rest of the body :).

I've never heard of a tongue with its own set of mushrooms.
Yeah. Makes it lots easier for those on-the-run snacks. :p

Yayyy, PM! My own thoughts exactly! :D

Yayyy, PM! My own thoughts exactly! :D
woo! :D

see, thats why i just said "yay the female body" rather than any specific part... you just gotta love it all! :D :fluffle: (<--- thats me fluffling female goodness.... and especially amy :D)

Hehehe! And don't forget that the brain is the primary sex organ. Turn 'em on there and ya got it made! :D

very good point my man :D


mmm..... women..... :P

Come on you just listed nearly everything. Be specific.

Hehehe! And don't forget that the brain is the primary sex organ. Turn 'em on there and ya got it made! :D

Well, the brain and the endocrine system ;). Visuals allow the brain to stimulate the endocrine system which in turn produces hormones which activate sexual behaviours. Sex/attraction/love is very neurobiological. :)

Come on you just listed nearly everything. Be specific.
lol! well thats cos it all rocks so much! :p

but tonight i'll go for boobs cos i've been talking about them with glitzi all night :P (and i love her boobs.... and they're about all i can think of right about now :p)


but thats not fair, cos i only have to think for half a second to start to think of all the other goodness there is... neck is the first thing that springs to mind next... and skin... and lets not forget how the body smells, and tastes... and.... and.... its all good! :D

Haha, this thread gets my stamp of approval :D I like the turn it took *nods* go Huw! :fluffle:

I find the brain (and other parts of the nervous system) quite fascinating. And as I see the brain as the soul, (or a significant part of it, should a non-physical layer exist as well) I concider mine holy. *maniacal laugher*

Other than that, I'm not so intrested in the human body. In the end, it's just a worthless, slimy pile of meat doomed to rot away.

Haha, this thread gets my stamp of approval :D I like the turn it took *nods* go Huw! :fluffle:
haha i made the thread dirty... go me! :D :p

Yes, my boy, taste! Taste is teh win, and we're back to tongues.... :D

haha i made the thread dirty... go me! :D :p

No you didn't make the thread 'dirty'.

Addressed to all of you getting some in the present: Damn you.

No you didn't make the thread 'dirty'.
i helped steer it from cool biology of the human body --> sexy jiggly-bits.... i say it counts :p

Actually I can take credit for that one:

I think brains are tasty. Too bad they're also very high in cholesterol.

Do you know that surgeons can poke and prod a patient's brain, yet the patient would not feel a thing????

I've actually been present during craniotomies many times, because the brain has no feeling they're able to keep the patient coherent so that they're able to perform awake neurological testing. The "awake-asleep-awake" method benefits epileptic patients because it greatly reduces the risk of convulsions during surgery.

an amazing thing

Do you know that surgeons can poke and prod a patient's brain, yet the patient would not feel a thing????
Yup. That means you can eat the brain fresh. Very, very, very fresh.






Alive!

You mean that sexual attraction is an infectious disease?

:rolleyes:

Did you finally decided!? Took you long enough ;).

And I'm looking into immunology seeing as how I loved epidemiology soooo much, heh.

Silly faux-American! I don't have to decide for years. :)

Well, as a second or third speciality in one's thirties or forties, it ain't bad.

No, I mean to tease Aerou.

Silly faux-American! I don't have to decide for years. :)

At least you softened the blow by adding "faux". You should hurry up and just go into neuroendo, you know thats actually where it's at. ;p

Well, as a second or third speciality in one's thirties or forties, it ain't bad.

Well I took a ton of biostatistic and epidemiology classes because I found them easy and I ended up getting a second speciality! (Its also because I'm a huge nerd, and medical school totally destroyed my social life :) )

I'm sorry, but looking after bearded ladies, freakishly tall or freakishly short people, and the rest of the sideshow, not to mention the endless stream of morbidly obese diabetics bound to somehow get into neuroendo like they have with the rest of endo, isn't my cup of tea.

First neuroendo, and then those? It's like fate has led to me encounter my complete opposite. Not that I'm not a nerd, but some of us are more equal. :p

Some of those people are great though. And the stories *I* get to tell....priceless.

I know, I know. Even the people in the neuroendo department think it's a little strange that I decided on those, but what can I say, I like case-control studies and getting to use the word "hazard" on a daily basis. :)

I like those, especially if it involves weird stuff inside people. Send them in!

All patients are sort of sideshow (yeah, yeah, there went my empathy), but yours do take the cake, I'll grant you that.

Haha. I must admit "relative risk ratio" and all those weighted SMC's or whatnots were sexy right up until we got our own figures to laborate with. I remembered then why I struggled so much with statistics and probabilities in upper secondary school. That branch of maths just is beyond my grasp. So, I'll take my cursory understanding of p-values and relevancies, thank you very much. :\

The only problem is that my patients tend to be very....moody...

I had to teach epidemiology to a bunch of middle school children (for the Science Olympiad event Disease Detectives (http://www.cdc.gov/excite/disease_detectives/)) try teaching 12-13 year olds about relative risk ratios, incidence rates, odd's ratios, critical immunisation thresholds, SIR models, and force of infection.

Better yet, try teaching me.

But you're a smart boy :fluffle:

And you're not at the age where you are preoccupied with passing notes to the cute girls in class :).

Me either. I mean, why would I?

But you're a smart boy :fluffle:

I had the head honcho of the epidemiology department as the tutor of my group and I made her go: "OK, fine, you won't understand this, just memorise it for the exam, and try to at least remember what the results mean afterwards."

And you're not at the age where you are preoccupied with passing notes to the cute girls in class :).

Oh, but those cute boys, they better watch out! :)

That was me during the Panvascular course I was somehow signed up for. But I think it was more that I wasn't a bit interested in the subject, which caused me not to care.

Oh, but those cute boys, they better watch out! :)

For some reason I can't ever picture you passing notes, heh...

I can't say I lament this particular shortcoming of mine, either... you know, other than having to be ashamed for asking stupid questions when someone brings up epidemiological studies, which, unfortunately, happens all too often.

You're right. SMS's are much simpler.

When you think of the most amazing machine in the world, what do you think of? James Bond's car, right? But recently I had a thought that may surprise you, and even startle you: The most amazing machine in the world is the human body. That's right, the human body.

But how, you say, can the human body be a machine? It doesn't have a central pump, or rotating joints, or interlocking teeth. But think again—doesn't it?

And what other machine can run down a roadway at .05 miles per hour, or climb up a sheer cliff at .00001 miles per hour, or travel down a sheer cliff at 600 miles per hour?

Not only is the human body the greatest machine, but the greatest oil for a machine is any oil that goes on the human body. I'm not sure about sex oils, but Oil of Olay, Pond's Cold Cream, oils such as these are the most beautiful of oils.

The most magnificent warranty on a machine would be some type of warranty on a human body, which I guess would be a life insurance policy, something like that.

The greatest hood ornament for a machine is one of those mirror things a doctor wears on his head.

For me, the greatest work of art in the world is also the human body. I'm not talking about an old body or an ugly one. I mean a really hot, sexy body. Man, to me, that's great art. And the greatest way to view the art is by hiding in the bushes, and hoping the art doesn't see you.

The greatest temple in the world is, let's face it, the Parthenon. But if the Parthenon gets any more eroded, I think I'm going to have to say the human body.

What's the most perfect musical instrument? I would argue it's the human body, except for the tuba sounds.

The greatest engineering miracle of all time is, OK, Hoover Dam. But what else can hold back water and release it gradually, to prevent flooding? And what else can generate "electricity," maybe by getting up and doing its funny cowboy dance? Isn't it the human body?

The greatest thing that can be sewn together from different parts and then brought back to life with electricity is the human body.

The most precious gift one human can give another, I believe, is the gift of a third human, such as a prostitute or stripper, for a birthday or something.

The fiercest battleground in the world is the human body. But the battle is fought on a microscopic level, which makes it the most boring battleground.

The greatest envy of the chimpanzee is the human body, especially the roller-skating human body.

The greatest cannibal meal in the world is, surprisingly, strawberry shortcake.

The greatest evidence of a murder is the human body.

The most difficult thing to defeat is the human spirit. But since it's invisible, who cares?

The best friend you can have is the human body, unless it's dead and it's chasing you.

The greatest medicine in the world is human laughter. And the worst medicine is zombie laughter.

The greatest mystery in the world is the human heart, but only while it's in the human body. Otherwise, where's the mystery?

The most amazing computer ever made is the human brain. And the best way to shut down the human brain is have it listen to my so-called friend Don.

The greatest camera is the human eye, but a worse camera is the drunk human eye. And a really bad camera is the drunk eye that has been punched by the human fist.

I'm not sure what the greatest weapon in the world is, but one of the worst weapons is one of those bowls in bars that holds peanuts, because when you throw it at a guy it just makes him madder.

In general, though, I would say the human body or its parts or the things that come out of it are the best in their categories. And even after it dies the human body has one more trick up its sleeve: It turns into the scariest skeleton in the world.

You're right. SMS's are much simpler.

All hail the power of SMS's :)

I would like your opinion on the human body, and what runs it.

My opinion is that the human body is freaking cool. And that includes all the bits that we are supposed to not talk about, like our digestive and reproductive orifaces.

As for what 'runs' the body, well, I've spent the last 6 years of study learning just a tiny portion of the basics on that subject. :)


KEWL FAKTZ: The spinal cord is as thick as your thumb, and your heart is the same size as your fist.
My kewl fakt: without the programmed death of cells in your body, you would not be alive right now. You require death to remain alive.
