My favorite organ is the Gall Bladder. It became my favorite after reading about how it was invented by the famous Dr. Samuel Gall. ---

> [@choosybeggar](#): > > I suppose an organ system (like the hematopoetic system; it’s fair game too) is acceptable as well. If you think you’ve got poetry in your blood, then you’ve got a good, active hematopoetic system. Shakespeare probably had an excellent hematopoetic system. The rest of us have to make do with plain old hematopoiesis, in which we make simple, poetry-free blood. ---

> [@Ponder Stibbons](#): > > My favorite organ is the Gall Bladder. It became my favorite after reading about how it was invented by the famous Dr. Samuel Gall. Where did you read about Dr. Samuel Gall? I was introduced to Gall’s work through a recorded lecture, given at The Hungry I (if I’m not mistaken), many, many years ago. Who else here, upon reading this thread, thought “And there’s Organ Leroy, at his organ again…” ---

Definitely the brain, with the naughty bits running a close second. The liver, however, is evil and must be punished. ---

[Beavis] Oh, my liver![/Beavis] I think I’ll go with the uvula because it’s just so danged fun to say. Not to mention all the cartoons (and Muppets) in which it’s promently featured. I’m also quite fascinated by men’s “dangly bits” for some reason. I just think they’re really neat to look at. :o ---

Not I. 😉 (I’ve got all his albums. I was singing along to Poisoning Pigeons in the Park while driving just a couple of days ago. I’ve also read the liner notes many time and immediately spotted the significance of the Hungry I.)
