ROFLMFAO!!! Thanks for the laugh, Eddie! Printed it out and bringing it to show my doc -- an action which probably brings me even periously closer in station to the poor schmuck in the story. Oh, well. My doc needs the laugh too. I loved this - "...believed to be the least epiphanic moment of self-discovery in the annals of modern medicine."

Still snickering,
Ginjoint

It's a newspaper satire. They pretty much just use the journalistic style of a typical paper to underscore the silliness of a lot of made up stories. A lot like The Daily Show on Comedy Central.

Here's a couple more "psycho-babble" types...

Eddie, thanks. These were funny, too. I laughed out loud at the "photos taken on the same day" in the 2nd article. The first article is a great reminder of how we sometimes conclude things about ourselves against the evidence.

I think I might post the 2nd article on PBF.
