Polite Dissent

Some of the more interesting searches that led to Polite Dissent in June, divided into easy-to-understand categories:

You should be studying this rather than looking it up on Google:

• What are the different medicine in the Philippines give the kinds and their uses
• Location and organs served by aorta artery

You People Are Sick!

• Real graphic pictures and images of patients bleeding out because of the Ebola virus
• Batgirl Catwoman tentacle
• Comics about sexual diseases

Good Questions

• What does the medical term foosh mean? My nurse accuses me of making up the word whenever I use it, but FOOSH is a legitimate medical acronym. It stands for Fall On Out-Stretched Hand.
• How does Robin fit all his gadgets in his belt from Teen Titans? Um, unstable molecules?
• Polite weight comments. I don’t think there really are any.
• On Teen Titans are Terra and Slade related? No, and in the original comic book it could be inferred that they were sleeping together, and not in the platonic way (personally, I don’t read it that way – I think Terra just liked to play dress up and Slade pretty much ignored her, but I can see how people could get the idea there was something going on).

Not So Good Questions

• Alternative medicine to cure infection in amputated finger. I’m assuming you want to treat an infection in the finger stump, and not the amputated finger itself, because it’s pretty much beyond help by now. Anyway, I’d recommend you see a real doctor for real medicine. Don’t mess around with alternative medicines for infections; they simply don’t work as well as the real thing (if they work at all).
• Value of Spiro Agnew wrist watch? Before or after taxes (chuckle).
• Is their going to be more movies of the original Batman from the 1960s? No. And you do know that’s not the original Batman, right?

TV

• Boy Meets World episode skiing or broken or leg. I remember that one: Cory sprains his leg while skiing, and stays back at the lodge hitting on the hired help instead of spending time on the slopes with his girlfriend Topanga. It was the first of a two-parter and I’m ashamed I actually knew all that off the top of my head.
• Daria DVD box sets Sadly no. I would pay good money for this.

• a rh negative and extraterrestial blood
• polite toilet signs

There’s been way too many sites hot-linking to my images lately. I’m not quite at the point of messing around with the htaccess file (because the last time I tried, I ended up banning everybody from the site), but I’m almost there. For the time being, I’ll be replacing the stolen images/bandwidth with pictures of the Iraqi Information Minister. So if you see his picture out of context on another site, there’s a good chance it’s replacing a hot-linked image.
