. . .is not the name of my new punk rock band.
It is, however, the key text of lab results that came back this week in following up on the most highly-read post of my blogging career.
That is all.

I just commented over at DrugMonkey's on a question he re-posed on behalf of a question posed by blogger, Lorax:
However, I am concerned about message. I do not want the interesting and important science to be diluted (to some potential readers) by the fact that I am an opinionated bastard. So, I…
While some readers are likely to be growing weary of the Amy Bishop case, this topic has generated two (1, 2) of the longest and still-active comment threads this blog has seen since my most highly-read personal post.
So, I was going to limit any further posts here to topics that haven't been…
Sorry for the slow posting this week, but work has been a bit intense, and I've also had some
family matters to take care of, which have left me with very little blogging time. Hopefully things will
be a bit less insane next week. In the meantime, here's a random bunch of weird music I've been…
We've been talking a lot about hurricane records lately. But that's not the only kind of record germane to this blog at the moment.
As some of you no doubt noticed, things have been up-and-down here at the Intersection over the past year. Particularly when I had a pressing book deadline, posting…
Congratulations, sir.
And it would make an excellent band name.
So many medical diagnoses or illnesses ultimately sound like they really ought to be the names of either indie punk or metal bands.
I get a real kick about the next generation headbanging to the extreme sounds of Necrotizing Fasciitis.
ummmm.... Congratulations?
Perhaps your sperm are still there, but they've invented a cloak of invisibility.
After you have a vasectomy, do you still shoot a load when you come?
I went for a vasectomy; but I got into a fist-fight with the doctor. I asked "Before I agree to this, is the operation painful?" He replied "Don't worry, it's only a little prick." I had never been so insulted ,,,
@CPP - we talked about this somewhere in the vasectomy discussions but the answer to your question is "yes." Turns out that spermatozoa comprise only 1-5% of semen, with the rest coming primarily from the seminal vesicles and the prostate with a little from the bulbourethral glands. But if I was worried about volume, I could always procure some products from all those spam e-mail offers I get.
@Trin - bwah!!! in fact, the sperm still are there and undergo apoptosis as they build up in the epididymis because the vas had been ligated. I've read that a majority of vasX patients have anti-sperm antibodies in the serum.
@Joe - I didn't know you had such a great sense of humor!
