**Q** adgop the Mercotan - nice to have a doctor on board, in case something happens to one of us. Here’s one of his [hobbies](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=734657&highlight=qadgop). This makes me sad; you’d think a doctor could do all sorts of fun things: write your initials on the abdominal wall, leave little signs inside–“this way to the bowel,” place a note in someone’s skull–“I owe you one brain–God.”
