Very informative and extremely funny - especially the 'Berlin Wall' outburst. I enjoyed the talk about 'Radium Water', too. The Americans were obsessed with the stuff. To this end, there are two words which should remain mutually exclusive, viz: 'Radioactive' and 'Toy'. Guess what? The Americans made one - the 'Gilbert Cloud Chamber', which contained Radium isotopes so that you could play at being Lord Rutherford in the comfort of your own home. Until your jaw falls off, that is.

Luckily mine healed itself before I had to have surgery which would have left me with an open wound - which is what I think most of the horrible image results are of.

I had a pilonidal cyst last winter (2019-2020). It popped when I was five hours' drive away from my house, spending the New Years' week with my girlfriend at the time. It sucked, I was walking around with a towel hanging out of my pants to absorb the stuff that came out. I never actually got surgery for it, but I am fine now. I guess it fixed itself when I was up there, because all of the bad-smelling liquid was out and gone by the time I left at the end of the week.

That tingling on the bridge of the nose is the action of Nordenham's ampules, a set of electrical-impulse-sensing structures, similar to what sharks have, but vestigial.

Actually, guitar nipple is fake, but ukulele nipple can be a real condition. it's just like golfers nipple, but caused by the hard Wood (giggity) of the back of a soprano ukulele and the branding on a shirt, rubbing on the right nipple (left for left handed ukuleles) while you strum with that hand.
