Last night my entire intestine decided to empty itself. This is what majoring in biology gets you: you bless the gods that you can puke... If you were a rodent, you would instead die. Puking: not actually all that bad, particularly compared to death. Also, there is some muzzy cursing that you are a omnivore. If you were a carnivore, there would only be about 9 feet of intestine... See how easily dogs rid themselves of their unhappy lunches. And yet, again with the praising of the gods that you are not an herbivore...
Prior to posting, I checked to see that the human 23' I had in my head was correct. Alas, that turns out to just be the small intestine, with the large adding another 5. I'm glad I didn't know last night. It would have been discouraging.
Apologies for any revulsion this post may engender. I blame fever. Haven't checked, but I reckon it's a good enough excuse that I shouldn't waste it by applying a thermometer...
