Dark Bilious Vapors

But how could I deny that I possess these hands and this body, and withal escape being classed with persons in a state of insanity, whose brains are so disordered and clouded by dark bilious vapors....

08/23/2005: Because you were just yearning for this list...


Spin magazine has compiled a listing of the 25 most incredible rock star body parts:

Spin charts the 25 "most incredible" rock star body parts in its September issue, now on newsstands. Madonna's navel tops the list.

"It's what first marked her as a mainstream provocateur," senior Spin writer Marc Spitz writes.

At No. 2 is the liver of Rolling Stones' Keith Richards, which is so durable, Spitz writes, that "when Richards finally passes, they'll line the exterior of the space shuttle with his liver tissue."
I don't know about you, but I'd put Keith Richards's liver first on my list. If a geneticist can ever unlock the secret of Richards's mutation that gives his liver such incredible powers of neutralizing just about every poison that Keith's ingested in a long and storied career of polysubstance abuse, s/he will not only have made the most significant breakthrough in preventive toxicology in the history of medicine, but s/he will be a shoo-in for the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. The Nobel equivalent of a first ballot Hall of Famer.

A quick glance at Spin's website shows that this article hasn't been posted yet. Might be worth keeping an eye on the website to see if they post it.
