Extremely Rare And Beautiful Pink Dolphin Spotted
I see it wisely waited until Jerry Falwell was gone before making a public appearance.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

News from House!
connie, I love you, but spoiler font is your friend! (Or, at least it's my friend.)
I'm not surprised, just... I didn't realize I cared until just now!
(And here I thought I was an unrepentant spoiler ho...)
Oh, man! Not that I've ever been, but São Paulo is a hilly mofo and also a ginormous city, so I hope they take measures to fix that freaking runway. I mean, damn, São Paulo is like New York huge.
This disturbing bit of medical science is from 1935:
LIKE a fairy tale of medicine is the description of an operation which removed nearly the entire “thinking” portion of a woman’s brain, changing her entire personality. For the first year after the operation the woman was almost childishly gay and happy. Later came more mature changes, which improved her power of concentration, memory, and endurance. The right prefrontal lobe and most of the left lobe of the brain were removed by Dr. Glen Spurling of Louisville University’s School of Medicine.
That's all there is, so we don't know why this operation was done....
Well, tommyrot, now I feel like I need to retroactively choke a bitch.
Really. There has to be much more to this story than what we're getting. I'm really curious.
What I find interesting about it is that even after the removal of the "thinking" brain, she still continued to develop and may eventually have gotten back to "normal"

The joke is, it's not unheard-of to remove one hemisphere of the brain -- in a young child. It's basically the last-ditch fix for severe epilepsy. And because a young child's brain still has its infant plasticity, children who have this operation usually end up in the ballpark of normal development. Despite having only half a brain.
I'm not sure this fantasist of 1930-whatever really wants a grown woman with seriously-damaged frontal lobes. Everybody who knew Phineas Gage reported that after his accident, he became an asshole.
