I think they should be more worried about Jerry Springer.

I just found out my OB/GYN has a small side career as a contemporary Christian rock singer/songwriter.


This may really belong in the "mixed feelings" thread, actually.

What is wrong with being a Christian?

Yes, that's what I found stunning. His religious beliefs.

Do any of your doctors sing, fargon?

So long as he doesn't sing while doing a gyn exam.

What would he sing?

Rock my soul in the cervix of Abraham?

He's got the whole world in his uterus?

Thing is, now that I know this, I can't un-know it. My annual exam is in just a couple weeks (I learned about the music thing because I was trying to schedule the appointment online.)

I really, really want to casually tell him my favorite Christian rock band is Faith+1, just to see what he says.

I play in a jazz combo in which my GP is the drummer. Living in a small community inures you to the fact that doctors and others who have access to confidential information are just people, after all ...

Last month it was Venus, Jupiter and the Moon.
This month it's just the planets.

Been watching these guys for the last few weeks. And the thing that always strikes me is

Thousands of years ago mankind usually had a perfectly dark sky; and so, every clear night, unlike us, they saw all 6000 visible stars and the Milky Way.

They didn't have TV. Entertainment of any kind was hard to come by. Even books, no. Drama, no. Shakespeare had not been invented. All they had was this night sky, and the moon and the patterns, which moved around during the year. And then these other things, brighter than the usual stars, that actually did move around faster; man, if you didn't know anything about it, that could really mess with your uneducated brain.

You would really be trying to figure out what all the patterns mean, and maybe to connect it to the rest of the physical world that you are aware of.

UT, I'm fascinated by that too...

I made a business trip to Crakow, Poland years ago and had one of
those special moments when you realize you're standing in a very
historical place.

It still makes me appreciate how smart some people were back in earlier times,
and for others, how easy it would have been to attribute magical powers to lights in the sky.
