Aha, yes, I thought that they were all supposed to be true. However, I checked out the babies and kneecaps one, and while they're not ossified until the age you quoted, they are there nevertheless. Here is a link to verify my claim:

I actually found that out too-but since they aren't ossified I figured it still "counted". I posted this over from something a friend sent-I found it amusing-but then again I'm easily amused. :)

Okay, how many moms wondered (just wondered...) if their kids would wake up if they checked them for kneecaps... :ph34r:

Yes, I found them amusing, too. Good entertainment when you can't sleep, anyway.

Nancy, you're too funny.

2. Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a belly button.

How could Alfred Hitchcock not have a belly button? I thought the only ones without bellybuttons would've been Adam and Eve.

Interesting to say the least.

His belly button was eliminated when he was being sewed up after surgery.

Ursula, thanks for that, or I would have been non the wiser.

It is a bit scary to think because I am nearly 50 that I have spent nearly 5 years waiting in queues. I guess next time I can take my book while I wait.

You definately cannot sneak up on one of my parrots ... I've tried ... they always see you coming.

The one about Prince Charles and Prince William not being on the same plane is true. As far as I know this rule also applies to Prince Harry.

. . .

12. 40,000 Americans are injured by toilets each year.

Yes, because their husbands forget to put the seat down. :P

16. Most of us have eaten a spider in our sleep.

"Aaaaaaaah!" (Runs from room and slams door)

18. The only two animals that can see behind themselves without turning their heads are the rabbit and the

parrot. What about that lizard with the googly independently-moving-eyes? :wacko:

20. Michael Jackson owns the rights to the South Carolina State anthem. Forget about #16, this is the most disturbing one. :lol:

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
