In honor of Halloween
Nov. 1st, 2005 03:20 am( Some fun facts about vampires )
Tonight's Halloween gathering at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
megiloth's was short a few folks, with adonijah74, massa_jean, and mellifera all being unable to come. megiloth, thanis_bloodsto and I all made the most of it, however, with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Mystery Science Theatre 3000, and condiments for the trick-or-treaters. Photos and other details can be found at megiloth's journal. While there, I discovered megiloth had this awesome book called "Medical Curiosities." And by "medical curiosities" I don't mean as in "people who have one eye each a different color." Oh no, this was the good stuff. We're talking "women getting pregnant, never delivering, then expelling the bones of the fetus through their anus four years later" type stuff. It was published in 1896 and frequently references even older "physicians" who all had names like "Bartholinus" and "Ephimedereis" and couldn't distinguish very basic medical facts, such as that the " white semen expelled through the skin clearly as a result of an overabundance of semen resulting from satyriasis and identifiable by its odor" was in fact, pus. Next time you complain about your health care plan, be glad you didn't have to deal with these guys.
Anyway, that was my Halloween, filled with lots of references to semen. I can only hope each of yours was as well.
