Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is a very odd mistake: The Washington Post Mistakes Barack Obama For Malcolm X (PICTURE)

We love it when newspapers put the wrong picture with a headline. But this one is just ridiculous. It's the President. You may have seen him before. You know who he's not? Malcolm X. And while it would certainly be newsworthy if the deceased civil rights activist was interested in Iowa's wind energy, our bet is he's got other things on his mind.

You wouldn't happen to know what IQ and TQ mean in relation to clotting factors, would you?

They're googling it in Romanian, but so far nothing. Sorry!

Oo! TQ is time it takes for blood to coagulate and can be used to determine if coagulant medication is working. Nothing yet on IQ.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I ate my lunch, it was not enough.

I have asked for a personal day tomorrow. I want to spend a day alone.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Thanks for trying! We're making educated guesses over here and wondering why one of them is reported as a percent when they should both be reported in seconds.

I was mildly skeptical someone would be able to help but not surprised when I was proved wrong.

Oh, good, that's in the right direction, but both PT and PTT measure different clotting factors, so we're trying to figure out which is which.

Colleague says TQ is the same as prothrombin time. Still nothing on IQ.

AWESOME! Thanks, Polgara! IQ ought to be PTT, but PTT shouldn't be in percent, so that's weird.

No prob. I know I don't post much, but I'm almost always lurking in Natter. Glad I could help this time. :-)

I feel like LoTR has the advantage of old-school crazies who speak Sindarin (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Ha! That would be the StuntHusband, bless his geeky heart.
