Considering the fact that I look at internal organs all day long for a living, my score on the name all the internal organs in four minutes quiz is shamefully bad. I only got 15 out of 24 total organs, isn’t that pathetic? Granted, it was mainly because I didn’t really read the directions and forgot to pluralize things like parathyroids and ovaries (and jeez, who knew the esophagus would be included, but skin wouldn’t? And they rejected spelling gallbladder as one word. I say, look it up in the dictionary, bitches). Anyway, learn from my mistakes, pluralize, and take the quiz. The clock does start ticking right away, so be ready to go when you click on the link and don’t dawdle like I did.

Our guts need to make friends with Shiny Sparkly Guts!
Posted: Wednesday, January 21st, 2009
We’ve got a couple of sparkly new tees coming in today, both with fabulous metallic inks, we hope you’ll like ‘em. The first, barely in time for Valentine’s Day, is a Heart of Gold tee, for ladies only. Quite possibly even more exciting is our new guts and glands shirt, which includes all the guts and glands characters — even testicles! For those of you really wanting to wear your prostate on your sleeve, this is the shirt for you. They are sorta arrayed where they are supposed to go, offering a mini-anatomy refresher when you need it.
The Body at Work

See the brain tell the muscles, heart and lung what to do in this bizarre and wonderful animation. The subtitles are my favorite part, I think. This movie seems to be part of some kind of Nike ad, but even so, it’s pretty fabulous, so take off your sceptic’s hat for a minute and enjoy. Thanks to John of Blend Apparel (he’s got some some good guts, too) for the link.
You Can’t Pick Your Brain
Posted: Tuesday, July 1st, 2008
As the saying goes, you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose…Here’s something new to add to that laundry list of dos and don’ts — don’t pick at your brain. A recent New Yorker article about itching details the case of a woman whose head itched so much that she picked right through her skull and into her brain. Eggghhhh. Even when they severed the nerve to that part of her head, the need to itch continued. Pretty fascinating stuff. And gross, too.
