Looking for Movie Mentioning Endocrine System[edit]

I am interested in knowing of any films that mention the endocrine system in detail. I am looking for something mainstream, not like a documentary or a teacher film. Does anybody know of a film that mentions the endocrine system? BioYu-Gi! (talk) 12:27, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mention in passing? Use the endocrine system as a major plot element? Feature actors who have endocrine systems? How about Fantastic Voyage? --- 21:38, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't know of any films that feature the endocrine system specifically and as a whole, but various parts of the endocrine system are featured in films. For example, a number of films have mentioned the pineal gland -- see Pineal gland#Cultures, philosophies and mythologies. Crank has a main character who is trying to maintain a high level of adrenaline. Actually, just try searching plots on IMDb.com for various parts of the endocrine system to find gems like Pituitary Hunter. -- KathrynLybarger (talk) 17:06, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good jokes for a speech[edit]

I have to give a speech to a collected audience of the Great and Good. I need a few jokes to tell them - I am looking for a shaggy dog story or three to keep them enthralled. I don't mind using filth, referring to sex, death or any other taboos - I want them to remember me as the foul mouthed scotsman I am. Any recommendations?

You could always recycle Billy Connolly's story about the use of the expletive "Jesus suffering fuck!". I laughed for a week (almost literally) when I first heard it. -- JackofOz (talk) 22:52, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your version of the Aristocrats? Adam Bishop (talk) 07:01, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A man saw a dog walking into the butcher store with a little purse on the neck. The butcher took the purse & took out a paper and some bucks; then he tied a bag with meat and the dog walke out to the bus stop where he let pass by 3 buses and got in the fourth.

The amazed man catched the bus following the dog and saw him getting out and walkin to a certain house where he stopped & after a while, he started to hit the door. An ugly woman opened the door and yelled the shit to the dog, so the wondering man approached and said how the hell she treated bad to that very smart dog. The woman said: "this is the third time in this week that the stupid dog forgets the keys"—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

Yer a scotsman. Here's one for you... Two (rednecks/hillbillies/lonely scottish shepherds/insert favorite target of jokes here) are driving in their pickup, and spot a sheep with its head stuck in a fence. The one says to the other "I go first", and gets down and does his business to the sheep. The first finishes and says "OK, your turn" and the second guy gets down on all fours, puts his head in the fence, and says "just don't treat me so rough...". --Jayron32.talk.contribs 21:05, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's really baaaaad. Deke Shephard fly me! 08:30, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
