The Queen's Meme - 7 Royal Questions on Tuesday

Welcome to The Queen's Meme
7 Royal Questions on Tuesday
(I'm prolific today. There are 9 questions.)

It's time for your annual check up! I always say "knowledge is power" when entering the stressful confines of a doctor's office. I take a pen and paper, armed with questions and a medical encyclopedia at my disposal. My doctor is not amused. Let's see how well you do on the medical exam I have prepared for you.

The Crazy Medical Meme

1. The smallest bone in the human body is about the size of a grain of rice. What is it? I know it is not the zyphoid process; I'm guessing it is in the ear canal. I don't know the name of it. Let's see if I'm wrong... I'm right! It is called the stirrup.

2. How fast is a sneeze? Good question, I think it is something like 60mph. Wikipedia says... it didn't - but apparently I'm wrong - it is 100mph. Damn!

3. What percentage of the human body is water? Too easy - 97%. I'm not even going to look it up. (Which means I'll be wrong, but who knows?)

4. True or False: A human's thumb is as long as his or her nose. I doubt it.

5. What should you do if you are bitten by a snake? My first inclination would be to yell. Slow down and hold the bite area below the heart line is second. I know I've heard of sucking out/spitting out the venom, but I don't know how effective that would be and if some specific types of venom are bad to ingest.

OK, call 0-1-1 first. Then place area below heart level. Then remove constricting clothing or jewelry. Then use pressure bandaging. Then pray for help to get there faster! No sucking out the venom, that is a myth.

I was close... we don't get too much snake bites in N.J.

6. It is a fact that humans get an entirely new skeleton every 12 years. What do we get every six years? Really? How delightful. Um, allergies? I don't... wait. Is it skin? Let's see...

I can't find the answer online, but I know skin exfoliates constantly...

7. Happiness is directly related to the size of your (so many things come to mind) the happiness part of my brain?.

8. If there are 9,000 taste buds on your tongue, how many hairs are on your head right now? What? What is the correlation? Let's see - total guess. 1,000,000? I don't know.

9. I believe that the size of the needle is directly related to the mood of the nurse. However, sometimes it's necessary to get shots. If you could be vaccinated against anything in the world, what would it be? Hepatitis C. In a heart beat. I see it too often.

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
