2017 has gifted you a new organ

University of Limerick researchers have announced the "discovery" of a new human organ. The organ in question is called the Mesentery, which connects your intestines to your abdomen. It isn't exactly new: the researchers determined it meets the qualifications of a single organ rather than simply being tissue. I look forward to the raft of new diseases related to it I can worry about.

  • Trump:



    Ask anybody, my recent election created new organs for Americans. Tremendous organs. Democrats only offered weak tissue. Sad!
  • Oregon Trail needs a patch.



    You died of dysentery to the mesentery.

    I was thinking the same thing.  
  • MMOOMM! He punched me in the Mesentery!
  • A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his mesentery with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

    The next time I see some charater depicted with his guts spilling out in some gore-fest I'm going to scream "Mesentery failure!" just to increase awareness for the newly identified medical condition.

    Actually I can use this to my advantage. Next time I call in sick, I'll say "it's an inflammation of the mesentery" instead of "I got bad gas."
