I'm pretty sure there have been posts that have mentioned urine, feces (the runnier the better), vomit (lots and lots of vomit), blood, sweat, tears (you've made me so very happy), mucus and whatever discharges emanate from squirrels.<BR/><BR/>I don't think we've had milk, milky discharges, eye crud, snot (a variety of mucus, but somewhat separate in most people's taxonomy of bodily fluids), and I'm out, someone with a greater medical knowledge (or a German, how they love the scat) will have to add to this list.<BR/><BR/>So, Prof. get to blogging, we need to know your views on adults nursing (that would cover the milk, J.D. Rockefeller was supposed to have paid for this service in his dottage), milky discharges (yay clap), and any of the other fluids not yet mentioned (or not).<BR/><BR/>(and turns out effluvia isn't the fluids but odors and vapors, effluent would be closer, but I like the sound of effluvia better, so indulge me)XWLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646729965929680256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1132342601567957992005-11-18T13:36:00.000-06:002005-11-18T13:36:00.000-06:00Did you ever think you'd get such notoriety for th...Did you ever think you'd get such notoriety for the subject matter?<BR/>Hilarious.Monty Loreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10961610061654961827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1132341026355527802005-11-18T13:10:00.000-06:002005-11-18T13:10:00.000-06:00Oh no no no no no.
