Talk Better

So all the time I've spent being annoyed by the way some people talk, I thought maybe I was just being unreasonably judgey - I've been slammed as a misogynist - and I should shrug it off.

Well, crap - now I've got a Brit telling me I'm not the only one, but that I am being a bit sexist about it, and now I don't know what the fuck I'm supposed to think.

Damn you, scientific inquiry!

Today I Learned

Dr William Beaumont: Army Surgeon, Clinical Researcher, fuckin' maniac.
November 21, 1785 – April 25, 1853 

Father of Gastric Physiology

Beaumont began to perform experiments on digestion using the stomach of St. Martin. Most of the experiments were conducted by tying a piece of food to a string and inserting it through the hole into St. Martin's stomach. Every few hours, Beaumont would remove the food and observe how well it had been digested. Beaumont also extracted a sample of gastric acid from St. Martin's stomach for analysis. In September, St. Martin ran away from Dr. Beaumont and moved to Canada, leaving Beaumont to concentrate on his duties as an army surgeon but Dr. Beaumont had him caught to continue to exhibit him.
