How about some whales?
See, I’ve been workin’ on getting this bezoar post together, see? But it takes a long time or, rather, I’d like to take my sweet time whenever dealing with a bezoar. God knows bezoars take their sweet time.
The day is coming to a close; I’ve been sleeping and sleeping and sleeping since late afternoon, as I have what I like to call tsetse fly tired (I don’t really have the disease that tsetse flies carry, and this makes me happy when I think about it). Truth be told, my fatigue is the result of an autoimmune condition I’ve got. My body is eating itself some tonight.
Say, speaking of autoimmune conditions, I just finished reading an awesome book that I would recommend to anyone with lupus, or to friends and family of people who have lupus. It’s called Taking Charge of Lupus (Amazon link). It’s very helpful as far as what adjustments you need to make after being diagnosed, and how to go about making those changes.
I said whales, didn’t I? I’m gonna send you over to BBC, where they have an interactive whale info spectacular. Perhaps “spectacular” is going a bit too far, but it’s sorta funtimes.
Fun whale fact: You guys all know about how the blue whale is the biggest animal to have lived probably ever in all of earth history, right? Well, it is.
Since we’re on the topic of whales, have you ever read Moby Dick? It’s the best book ever, if you don’t count Breakfast of Champions, which is the best, best book ever.
Has this been very science-ey? No, not unless you go to the BBC site.
Please go to the BBC site. I promise we’ll have a bit more science when we get to bezoars! Tonight, it seems I’ve got books on my mind.
