      That’s pretty interesting, considering the limited observation tools they had.

        Medical school class...

        Instructor is stressing the importance of observation.

        "The ancient physicians could tell that a patient was diabetic, because his urine tasted sweet. I have here, a jar of urine from a diabetic patient."

        He dips a finger into the urine, and then he tastes his finger.

        "I want all of you to share this experience by dipping a finger into the urine of this diabetic and tasting the finger."

        Dutifully, but somewhat reluctantly, each student walks up, dips his finger and tastes the urine.

        "Good. Now that you have all observed that a diabetic's urine can taste sweet, there's one more observation that you SHOULD have made."

        He holds up his middle finger.

        "I dipped this finger."

        He holds up his index finger.

        "I tasted THIS finger."

        "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Take one 10ml red top tube. Fill about 1/3 with grape jam or jelly. Spin in a centrifuge for two or three minutes.. Uncap, and carefully pour in some apple juice. Recap.

          Uncap in front of your friends and take a swig. Then offer it to them.
