Freaky Coincidences

Right after I posted the previous entry, I buy the new paper and whats the headline story? About a woman who got her appendix removed when it was fine. How freaky is that.
Interesting thing I learnt over the weekend

The possible causes of appendicitis are many, but no one really knows why it happens.
At some hospitals here, you need to queue for an available operating theatre.
It’s faster to operate if they suspect you have appendicitis then to send you for tests and wait for the results.
If they operate they take out your appendix whether or not you have appendicitis or not because:
1. They don’t want to confuse any doctors in future who sees the scar and expects the appendix to be gone and
2. In case it was a mild case which may recur in future.
Lastly, we can apparently get on fine without our appendix. Which leads me to ask, what else in our body do we not really need (besides all the extra fats in my case).

No idea whats up with the golden horses but the ship is huge. 13 decks plus the smokestack means the ship is easily 15 stories high.
I’m glad the toto draw is on friday this week.

Cos I got flashed repeatedly early this morning. If today toto sure cannot tioh one.
P.S. If you’re wearing a short skirt and sitting down, you’re not supposed to sit with your legs wide open. Even if you happen to be at the gyne where most of the other people are gals. Spare a thought for the gamblers.
