From a study investigating risk factors for retained foreign bodies after surgery:
“The increased risk associated with increased body-mass index probably reflects the amount of room there is in a patient in which to lose a sponge or instrument.”
Figure this one out for me:
A) Religious conservatives subscribe to the belief that there is an Almighty ruler of creation, but do not expect him to arrange a perfect state of political affairs before politics are permanently dissolved in the consummation of the ages.
B) Moral liberals tend to believe that the world operates according to some vague mixture of complete personal autonomy and the whims of Darwinian chance, but speak as though these forces were leading us into the age of universal peace and agreement. At least if we could get rid of those damn conservatives.
