My mother had to come and calm me down after I saw this. You should come with a health warning. Phew. Amazingly funny though.

Monkey Glands is by far the funniest of Thuyrl's names thus far.

And, how could I neglect to post this again. Hats off Aran.

If you would care to look at the navigation bar you would see I have many pictures up. Freewebs is giving me issues, but I'll find a way to put up the more recent ones soon.

After reading the last 3 pages this probably comes off random, but still:
Congratulations Thuryl, I'm so happy for you. Sorry I didn't congratulate you before but I've been busy as hell. Again, well done and keep on posting.

I got to thinking, the popularity of this procedure in the early 1900s might explain the leadership displayed during the First World War—all the world leaders were suffering from simian testosterone poisoning.

I can just imagine the Kaiser and company lined up with their shirts pulled up and their bellies unzipped, and some guy with a big bucket of monkey testicle mash scooping hefty helpings into their abdominal cavity.

Today's moniker, Transorbital Leucotomy, is the technical name for the infamous "ice-pick lobotomy" -- and yes, before you ask, it really was performed with an ice-pick, at least some of the time. The instrument was inserted between the eyeball and the eye socket and wiggled from side to side inside the brain. So quick and easy -- why, you could practically do it without anaesthetic, and many surgeons did.

Needless to say, the development of such a simple procedure for cutting up people's brains revolutionised the field of psychosurgery. Rows of mentally ill patients were lined up to receive leucotomies while medical students and members of the press gazed on with admiration.

Studies generally found that about a quarter to a third of patients treated this way demonstrated significant improvement in the condition they'd originally been treated for (which could be anything from depression to schizophrenia). That might not have been such a bad success rate if it weren't for the fact that many patients treated in this way were left with permanent disabilities, including abnormalities of mood, impaired judgement, increased aggression, and seizures. Oh well; we live and learn.

Alex's picture for this one simply must be Alorael saying "Pan Lever: Seventeen apple roving mirror moiety. Of turned quorum jaggedly the. Blue?" and Thuryl responding "Never fear! I have an ice-pick!"

I appreciate the notoriety, but you clearly don't understand Pan Lever. It's not insanity. It's a call to worship and a call to action! If you can't understand it, we have other surgical and psychotherapeutic procedures to put you through that will help. We promise!

Wiki cites 1935 as the beginning of the lobotomy era, but I find that a bit doubtful. My sense is that this procedure may have been performed in the late 19th century as well, but perhaps not as publicised as the Lima-Moniz trials.

Anyhow, given the success rates, I can't see how the steady streams of anti-psychotics medicines are any better or worse than the physical procedure.

You can take someone off an antipsychotic drug if they react badly to it; there's only one really bad side effect that doesn't usually go away when the drugs are stopped, and the newer drugs tend not to cause it. It's harder to delobotomise someone. :P

My new moniker, Fenfluramine, is a drug chemically related to amphetamine, which was popular in the 1990s as an appetite suppressant. Then people who were taking it started dying of heart failure, and it was withdrawn from the market.

Undesirable to some...

And there's always incineration. Might make an interesting topic that - burial or incineration, and reasons why. Still, I'm too lazy to start it. And I've probably gone and spelled "incineration" wrong anyway. I'm gonna pout.

Edit: I'm not gonna start the topic out of respect for Fenwik, who recently lost his wife. It doesn't seem right to go on about death when somebody has just passed away.

Fenwik - I truly feel for you. It isn't easy to lose somebody you love so dearly.

Today's name, Bloodletting, is a real blast from the past. A widely-held theory in past centuries was that disease resulted from an imbalance of the bodily fluids. Fevers were believed to result from an excess of blood, and were therefore treated with extensive bloodletting. If the patient's condition worsened despite treatment, well, that was clear evidence that not enough blood was being taken.

Bloodletting was popular until the 19th century, when people finally started to suspect that the connection between massive blood loss and death was a causal one.
