Who knows?

Whose nose?

Mine I

Suppose.

Who would have imagined that the examination of a 33-year-old Chinese woman for thyroid disease would result in the picture shown above? Dr Kai-hung Fung was a co-winner in the photography category for the 2007 International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge. The contest is sponsored by the journal Science and the National Science Foundation. The picture is actually a computed tomography (CT) scan image that shows the intricate parts of the human nose.

WHEN THE SWINE FLEW

"The body of the world which is broken into pieces is the body of the god."
Norman O. Brown



THE PLAGUE’S
WITHIN US
IN ME AND YOU
OUTSIDE AND INSIDE
WITH OR WITHOUT
ANY SWINE FLU
IN A BIG ZOO
WE’RE PATHETIC
SQUIRMING
STEALING
SQUEALING
SQUALID
PATHETIC
PARAGONS OF
ANIMALS.
