Friday says that the other days are horrible at finding interesting things that happened in the past. It will correct this. On this day in far past of 2012, the unthinkable had happened. The exact point when the end-times started. Kusari learned how to be sarcastic. ----- Vote for Sluggy Freelance at Top Web Comics. Remember to vote EACH day. [#107 +1 *261]

Spleens can be attractive? I knew beauty wasn't just skin deep! Zillatain wrote: Because most people have no clue what it does (or where it is). And many will probably fervently deny they even have one.
Kidney: Yes. Liver: Yes. Lungs: Yes. Spleen: What the hell is that? You exspleen it well. That was a spleendid explanation. But I do know what the spleen does. In vertebrates, including humans, it is a ductless vascular gland, located in the left upper abdomen near the stomach, which destroys old red blood cells, removes debris from the bloodstream, acts as a reservoir of blood, and produces lymphocytes. Platelets and white blood cells are stored there. The spleen also helps fight certain kinds of bacteria that cause pneumonia and meningitis. I did not look this up.
