Thanks, Troy!

I got the best pick me up yesterday: original artwork from my favorite Pennsylvanian, Troy Wilford Hunt. Troy is an extremely talented young man, and he has captured this event for posterity in a way that makes me feel a lot better already. Notice the tumor is in a jar, not my head.

Things That Go Bump

I am not the only one obsessed with the bump on Dr. Joshua Perper's head:

In an interesting attempt to throw us off the Gumby connection, Dr. Perper throws a red herring out there in an answer to the bump question: "I am definitely not a member of the television's Coneheads," he said with a chuckle. "I always used to say I have extra brains that I could not accommodate in my head."

Dr. Perper claims he was dropped accidentally on his head by his aunt when he was a small child and a blood clot thickened part of his skull.

I found this picture of Dr. Perper's aunt on an old archive site:

This just in: Anna Nicole Smith Still Dead

My filter on the Anna Nicole Smith autopsy report: can anyone really look at this Dr. Perper guy (chief medical examiner for Broward County) and tell me he does not have a big honking something growing under his skull on the left side? He's a medical examiner. Examine that.

I am obsessed with brains right now.
