Are there pics available anywhere of the GIANT COLON?
Right here:
** Giant Colon **
About 1/2 way down page. You can’t miss it.
Looks like the monster from Tremors.
Well, we’ve got the real giant colon!

Giant colon.
Giant Colon’s going on tour?! Man, I LOVE that band!
ducking
Ahhhh, Giant Colon has to be the one in the Mutter museum. Glad not to be disappointed. (IIRC it had about 2 years worth of backup in it – ouch!)
Y’know, it takes a certain amount of intestinal fortitude from a museum director to agree to display this item…
Holy crap! :eek: Did this belong to someone who weighed 600+ pounds, or what?
I think Cleophus was the only one who read the article. I was thinking of the Mutter one too.
The Mutter one belonged to a normally sized man who pooped almost never, iirc. It’s a medical condition called “megacolon”
The article said it was being shown in Columbus. Interesting bit of linguistic ‘convergent evolution’ there!
No Pschit? . . . . .
Is that right?
Hey, I blame everyone else for linking to the Mutter museum 
Speaking of which…
“Toxic Megacolon” is an even better Band Name!
I love this quote from the article:
“…Doctors were applauded for being able to correctly diagnose this whopper a gross enlargement of the colon …”
IANAD, but even I can tell that that’s pretty gross!
Good GAWD! :eek:
'scuse me while I make sure I have lots of Raisin Bran ™ available for tomorrow morning.

This display has been moved from GQ to MPSIMS

I’m thinking that a Dopefest to the Mutter would be a long time coming…

I got to crawl through a giant colon–see!
I thought this might be another thread about Fred Phelps.
I was there about 6 weeks ago, try to stop in about once/year. Great place; great first date place! (Weed out the weak early…)
