According to the Knight Rider News Service, the inscription on the metal  bands used by the US Department of the Interior to tag migratory birds has  been changed. The bands used to bear the address of the Washington Biological Survey,  abbreviated as "Wash. Biol.

 --Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle, WA One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more than five minutes later, I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that the had died of a "massive internal fart." --Dr. Susan Steinberg, Manitoba, Canada I was performing a complete physical, including the visual acuity test. I placed the patient twenty feet from the chart and  began, "Cover your right eye with your hand." He read the 20/20 line perfectly. Now your left." Again, a flawless read. Now both," I requested .
