1/17    i have this big ass pimple by my ear that has been there
        for several months.  how do i get rid of it?  a lot of soap?
        should i boil a needle and pop it?
        \_ If there's a little dark spot in the center, it's an ingrown
           hair.  Ingrown hairs are harmless.  Tumors are not.  Have it
           checked out.
        \_ Several months?  Maybe it's not a pimple.
        \_ My prom date had a bump by her ear.  After 6-12 months she had it
           biopsied and it was a tumor of one of the glands.  She had it
           removed while under general anesthesia, didn't need to take chemo,
           and is fine today.  She's 31 today; that was ~ 5 years ago.
           \_ It's funny, because the way you worded this it sounds like
              you went to your prom when she was 26...
                                \_ You the mac. 18 year old taking a 26!
                                   \_ Heh, I don't think the prom and the
                                      discovery of the bump on her ear
                                      occurred during the same general
                                      time frame.

2/21    There is a sore on my groin.  Is it herpes?
        \_ If you bike a lot, it'll go away.
        \_ I am pretty sure that no one licensed to practice medicine posts
           to the motd. Go see a doctor.
           \_ I think there is one.
        \_ There are a lot of things it could be.  It probably isn't herpes,

2/17    Photo of Whittington.  Okay, the holes are from individual pieces of
        shot, but what about the dark red on his neck?
        http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/060217/480/txpi20402172040
        \_ it's called "blood"
           \_ so you're saying the shot impacted but did not penetrate
              (shirt collar?), thus causing the bruising?
