Two journal articles

Hale AS,Pinninti NR. Exorcism-resistant ghost possession treated with clopenthixol. Br J Psychiatry 1994; 165:386-388.

Satoh S,Obata S, Seno E et al. A case of possessive state with onset influenced by door-to-door sales. Psychiatry Clin Neurosci 1996; 50:313-316.

That is all.








(ok, ok, context: on another comm, someone brought up a citation of a letter to a medical journal that recounted a side effect of a medication: that the patient then started complaining of possession by a dead relative. The two articles above were cited by the authors of the letter.)

Things That Scare My Cat

AMERICA!

THIS IS WHY WE ARE FAT!!

( cut for photo of dinner )

That is the Country Fried Sirloin (i.e. chicken fried steak) at the Texas Roadhouse on Sunday night. No, I did not eat it all. I actually ate 1/3 of it, along with a salad and half the mashed potatoes.* Had another third of it and the rest of the mashed potatoes last night, and will probably end up tossing the other third, as it's starting to get old and it wasn't a good enough chicken fried steak to be worth eating that old.

But still!

ETA: The leftovers. The potatoes are suffering a bit from forced perspective and appear larger than they really are. But the leftovers still filled that entire Styrofoam carton.


* And sucked down 1.5 large glasses of Dr. Pepper, which is why I'm fat.
