Pretty cool.

This reminds me of a Looney Tunes cartoon which featured a cat and a dog. The dog was trying to catch the cat for whatever reason and he tried holding a female cat puppet over a fence to attract the cat. The cat discovers the puppet and begins caressing her. His hand goes up and down her back until his hand ends up resting on the dog's nose. The cat, confused, looks directly into the audience and proclaims "Something new has been added!"

well, the first one is obviously the "George Bush" thymus, and the one lurking in the background is the "Karl Rove" thymus, the real mastermind of the operation...

It took 2 centuries of disecting mice to discover they have two thymus glands?

Geez, I never thought I'd need to know the plural of "thymus"! Thymi? Thymuses? Thymice?

It is not uncommon when examining lymph nodes from the neck or parthyroid tissues (from the neck) to find thymic tissue there also. Apparently bits of organs can be found in 'heterotopic' locations!
