Jungle Jon and the Appendix of Terror


This is my friend Jon. He is now appendix free. The sad thing is that the next time we're together I can't use the word "appendices" in referring to our collective vestigial organs as he no longer possesses his. Now the word "rupture" can and will continue to be used, count on it. [Update: Ok I discovered that the actual medical term for the plural of appendix is appendixes rather than appendices so this paragraph is pointless, but I'm leaving it in anyway to prove to eveyone that I'm not as perfect as you think I am!! :-)]

Oh and Jon is a big Oklahoma State fan. (Actually he is really a pretty average sized Oklahoma State fan as he is nothing resembling obese or a giant.) But don't hold that against him. I think he was just hit on the head as a child or something. And for all the ladies out there--he is single and can be reached at Mercy Hospital. But don't get any ideas: despite his sedation, he still won't fall for the "You need a sponge bath Mr. Haire" routine so don't even try it. Posted by Hello

Is it really appendixes instead of appendices? Does that refer to book appendixes (or appendices) as well? I've been saying it wrong this whole time!!!
That's okay, though--everybody already knew I wasn't perfect...unlike YOU, matt...

Bri, in terms of a book it is actually appendices. Just in the case of the organ it is appendixes. Check out the dictionary.com entry to clear up any confusion!! :-)
