Silly Things

Perhaps I'm going a little stir crazy from studying the upper limb. But I thought I'd pass along what I think is probably the coolest name for a body part that I've so far come across. I include a picture of the Anatomical Snuff Box. I kid you not. Apparently in the 1800's it was named based on its use as a snuff holder for those of the snorting persuasion. Really, it's just the space formed between a few tendons going to your thumb. I could tell you what they are, but I'll just let Wikipedia take care of that.
















Secondly, I'm now the proud owner of a stethoscope. This is mostly just cool, since even though I really have no idea how to use it, it does mean i can listen to my own heart beat when ever I get the urge. The real challenge was colour choice. I went with navy blue - not black, but not too overstated. Unfortunately, lime green was not available.
