Just vent your spleen, vent it now

SLMSV (single link med school video) NSFS not safe for (the very) squeamish

No really, what does the spleen actually do?

I have an extra spleen. Not kidding.

On second thought let's not go to Harvard Medical School. It is a silly place.

For a disembodied organ, that spleen can really get down.

It's January. Shouldn't these kids be studying for their boards or something?

Damn it, MetaFilter, now I want a spleen costume!

No boards until spring/summer. Mostly shelf exams this time of year.

The White Hat, I know. Unless they're MS2s, and then they ought to be studying for Step 1.

They are MS2s. They'll sit for Step 1 sometime in February or March if their schedule is anything like ours here at U Chicago.

Confession: The "What does the Fox say?" video and all of its parodies make me feel more old and more out-of-it than anything else I've seen online this past year. A feeling that's only worsened by the fact that my husband, who's actually older than I am, finds the whole enterprise hilarious.

I'm so confused and disoriented! Foxes don't say that! What's going on? Where am I? Why is everyone laughing?????

I should go post on my Livejournal about this.
