Thoughts inspired by previous entry

1. I ran the numbers and even by the most conservative estimate, I have donated more blood than I currently have in my body! Closer to twice as much, even. It's also an estimated 70 times as much as my cat currently does.

2. I find it fascinating that, in the myth, it's Prometheus' liver that gets eaten and regrown every day as punishment for giving fire to humankind, given that the liver is the only organ in the human body which can regenerate itself. And I think that's dope.

3. This is somewhat inspired by a show I'm watching (show unnamed bc it is a small spoiler), but "annoying the people stealing your organs" is a GREAT reason to donate a kidney.

LOL! Either I know what show you're watching, or that is quite a coincidence. :-)

[dhampyresa]

We are totally watching the same show :p

I am really curious about the show you're watching, though!

Sure thing! Here's the rot13 version:

Oh wow, that's some timing given the stolen kidney story elsewhere (did you see what I did there).

[dhampyresa]

I totally see what you did there! And yeah that is some coincidence I encountered both at roughly the same time, given that I'm fifteen minutes late with starbucks to this show lol

That story was the impetus behind the previous post (and so, indirectly, this one) but I didn't mention it because I figured it was one of those "if you know you know" things and that the message of BODY DONATIONS GOOD didn't need to be tarnished by PLAGIARISM BAD ACTUALLY

[kore]

Yeah I call myself a misanthropist but OMG it has not been fun watching Twitter on fire in slow motion learn "Living donors, GOOD! Plagiarism, BAD!"

....I also just realized I had been transposing the memory of a scene from Millennium (kidney in the fridge) to Hannibal. But it does seem like something Hannibal might do maybe.

[kore]

....oh dear that made me think of Hannibal D:

[dhampyresa]

LOL

Any specific part?

[kore]

Well a couple of specific PARTS as it were -- //yanked offstage

[corvidology]

I find it fascinating that you'd take the time to work out the blood thing namely because I'd do it too! :D

[dhampyresa]

I'm a neeeeeeeeerd

[nanslice]

This entire post is a gift. Each point is delightful and compiling them together like this is just. So great.

No idea about the show but that sounds right xD

[dhampyresa]

I revealed what show it was in a comment elsewhere in this entry if you're curious.

Listen, I may not always be a petty bitch but sometimes I am the pettiest bitch
