Have you ever wanted to ask your doctor about some of the oddities of your body, but didn’t have the guts or the time to do so? Well, now’s your chance to get some factual and funny answers to those questions you’ve pondered. From Pop Rocks to belly buttons, nipples to knuckles, Mark Leyner and Dr. Billy Goldberg have all the answers in a new book, "Why Do Men Have Nipples?” The two authors were invited to discuss the book on “Today.” Here’s an excerpt:

Don't forget that if you want this thread to go 500+ posts, you have to add an "[evolution]" to the title. ;^)

I call my doctor every time I see a commercial for prescription drugs that says, "ask your doctor if (whatever) is right for you" but doesn't describe what the drug is for. I think it's pissing him off.

"Study shows random mutations cause asparagus to stink up urine"

That works

I'm glad that there is a link to a story. I was afraid this was a vanity. ;-)

[Asphalt]

I've actually never noticed this phenomenon

[CO Gal]

Me either, but I don't like asparagus.

Coffee does the same thing. ;)

Saw these guys on "Today." It was interesting. Of note: it doesn't hurt joints or tendons to crack your knuckles, it just irritates people, especially moms.

Do you know what's the difference between an oral and a rectal thermometer?

How do you tell the difference between an oral thermometer and a rectal thermometer?











The flavor.

Uhh, was it another thread, or did this one get pulled and reposted?

[Asphalt]

ugh, not a good ice-breaker if you're getting to know someone.

There was a debate behind the curtains, and it was decided to restore your thread.

It doesn't happenn to everyone.

Like that Peach water,,Clearly CAnadien I think it is called,,it makes some people's pee smell horrible, so bad they cannot use the office restroom. It happened to a guy at work,,we banned that stuff. It was vile.

[cajungirl]

Good decision.

Pee is important.

[Doohickey]

Boy, that must've been an interesting conversation...

[b4its2late]

Yep. The taste.....

[Sidebar Moderator]

Yeah, it was. But decisions can be overturned and nothing can't be undone.

Thanks, of course to asphalt who sent me $200 by PayPal.

Okay, just joking.

I'm not sure I I'm supposed to say thank you or sorry so this is both
