This post is actually a long time coming. It is a bizarre sort of tribute to my best friend in my class. Her name is Elizabeth and she has previously been introduced as Audrey on this blog due to her undying admiration of a little-known movie starlet.

16:37 Elizabeth: the small intestine is like switzerland...always neutral(izing)
16:41 me: Would that make the biceps like Cold War America-- always flexing

16:53 Elizabeth: which makes the appendix one of those pesky proxy war states

me: Surely, that renders the uterus a biological equivalent of an active volcano.
