The Ultimate Woman is... a MAN
And men, your testes are really just 'descended ovaries', that's all.
See, according to House, all babies/fetuses/pre-fetuses (I am not sure what to call them because I have no idea when the reproductive organs start, you know, developing) start out being girls (evolutionary advantage I assume) and then we’re differentiated based on our genes. For boys, the ovaries develop into testes and drop.
However, there is a not-so-rare chance (about 1 in 150 000) that a fetus, a boy, will develop into something else - a pseudohermaphrodite. Pseudohermaphrodism is essentially a condition in which 'an individual is genetically and gonadally of one sex but has significant secondary sex characters of the opposite sex, often with ambiguous external genitalia.' So a male with pseudohermaphrodism will have testes (often undescended) and significant typically female secondary sex characters, like big boobs/'love apples' and a cute ass. Oh and clear skins too, as our patient in Ep 2x11 obviously did.
He-slash-she was a model - young, pretty and knew how to use them to his-slash-her advantage very well. 'Manipulative', I think, is the word. And he/she (it's tiring to type 'he-slash-her') made her father 'do him/her' in his alcohol-induced stupor. It was all to ensure that her (it's tiring to type 'his/her') dad would accede to all of her requests out of guilt in that way. And she also slept with her manager (oops, her dad was her manager), photographer, financial manager, and tutor for the same reason. She thought nothing of that because as she told Cameron matter-of-factly, 'we all do it' to which Cameron replied 'No, we don’t'. I was not sure if I should believe Cameron because she just 'did' Chase. Anyway, that is not 'medically relevant'.
So everything that she (Alex a.k.a the model who turned out to be a 'he') was ever proud of - her looks, her voluptuousness and basically her womanliness were really a joke. And more significantly, her dad was not just incestuous but also homosexual. So were her photographer, financial manager, tutor and about everybody else who had fantasized about her with his hand on his pecker.
While I am at it, I have to point out that pseudohermaphroditism should not be confused with hermaphroditism (they put the word 'pseudo' there for a reason). In individuals with hermaphroditism, both male and female gonadal tissue are present. In other words, they have both the testes and the ovaries (best of both worlds!) while, as I have established earlier, pseudohermaphroditic individuals only have one set. So the narrator in Jeffrey Eugenides's 'Middlesex' could either be a pseduohermaphrodite or a fona fide one, neither of which ought to bring us much joy.
Care to know about what watching 12 episodes of 'House M.D.' in marathon fashion can do to you besides feeling obliged to reveal the answer in a late night blog entry? Hmm, it can make you regret not applying to medical school, which subsequently makes you regret not taking biology in junior college. It can also make your head swim in a list of words like 'brucellosis', 'epinephrine', 'cataplexy', 'subarachnoid' and 'metachromatic leukodystrophy' which makes you regret not applying to med school all over again.
Just imagine what fun you will have if you have gone to med school. You would be able to say things like 'Oh, that's not what REAL doctors do. These TV PEOPLE are not checking their facts' or 'There is a problem with his IgM, not IgG, you idiot!'. How cool would that - and you - be? Then House would cease to become cool. But then again, if you are an intern (the logically path after med school), how the hell would you have time to watch TV?
Went to the PC Show today. Yeah, the one that is like held 2-3 times every year. Just imagine Great Singapore Sale with just computer-related stuff.
Wanted to buy an external hard drive and bought one at a price of $211. It claimed to have a capacity of 100GB but the last I checked, it only had around 94 GB. Technically speaking, it was yet an 'external hard drive' when I bought it. It used to be an 'enclosure' ('casing' for the rest of us) plus a Samsung hard drive. After I bought them, they were fused together to become 'it'. So when the guy handed me the empty enclosure and told me it was $49, I asked him how many gigs there were in it, thinking 'what a steal!'. I swore he just sort of stared at me incredulously for 1 1/2 secs before apologizing for not making it clearer in the first place. Okay point taken, I was being stupid.
In the end I still bought from that guy because 1) I felt guilty about, erm, asking him so many questions 2) no one else would format for me in Mac 3) it was one of the cheapest around 4) it only cost 200 bucks, no point spending 3 hours trying to get the best deal (and worse, not end up getting one at the end of it).
Lunch was at Surf N Turf which sucked. The portion of their starter (we ordered nachos) was humongous. And that was just wrong because starters are called 'starters' for a reason. They are not there to end your meal before you even get to the main course. The mussels were overcooked and tasted like pockets of sand. We cancelled our Surf N Turf combo because there was no way the two of us could have fnished it. Despite our efforts, we only managed to clean off half of the starter.
Oh I also bought the 'The Virgin Suicides' DVD. That sucked too. Now I remembered why I hated the movie 'Lost in Translation' which was also directed by Sofia C. The tempo was just oh so painfully slow. And too little screentime for Kirsten Dunst. The monotonous narration made it seem like a documentary. The movie, in my opinion, did not do justice to the novel. So much for the $24 I forked out for the disc. No wonder people download illegally. That is what people do when crazy punks sell pieces of plastic for 10-20 times their true cost.
