• anybody else remember those Charlie Chan films with Birmingham Brown (played by Manton Moreland) using that now famous phrase?

They've got at least some of those movies on CD now. I've got about 3 of 'em.

Hey, Fella. Don't quit yer day job!

For the extremely morbidly curious. Someone just sent me this link the past week.

Capsule Endoscopy section's pretty neat. Wonder if they try to get the camera back. The site will turn you into a hypochondriac though. Every single possible thing that could go wrong with your insides.

After this I'll remember to add the standard *disclaimer*! "I didn't give birth to it." (LOL)

[Dave Hinz]

Yes, non-carbonated is definately important.

[Lazarus Long]

Thanks. Best laugh I've had in a while. I recently experienced this, I can relate. Although I didn't have any smart remarks for my doc.

[LRod]

Gawd, how could you resist the temptation to say "smart ASS remarks?" Or was that a missed opportunity?

Because not *all* of us are smart asses, like a certain un-named resident of the Blue Hair State?

As I've gotten older, I'm experiencing the same thing. Unfortunately the reduction in eating volume has not resulted in a reduction of weight. It might be because there's some reduction in exercise, but I tend to believe the older age has an accompanying slower internal physiology.

[Mark & Juanita]

Man, you ain't kidding! I used to be able to eat anything, much to the envy and aggravation of friends and colleagues (good genes). Now, I guess I've gotten much more efficient at processing food, it sure doesn't take much to put another pound on the scale the next morning. Shoulda' known that was coming -- dad had the same kind of problem around my age also.
