Bet you didn't know this:
I forgot to mention one thing we learned in Vegas about colon cancer. After we saw the bodies exhibit at the Luxor, they had a gift shop where you could buy little souvenir accouterments, t-shirts and books. One of the things they were offering for sale was a textbook on different diseases. It was a one stop shop for all you ever wanted to know about things you never want to get. One of the diseases covered in the book was colon cancer. After reading a little through the one page summary I discovered an interesting fact: Colon cancer tends to occur at one end or the other of the colon, generally not in the middle. It occurs either at the start of the ascending colon or at the end of the descending colon (rectum). The place where cancer occurs in the colon is roughly correlatable to sex. Women tend to get colon cancer at the beginning of the colon while men tend to get it at the end. Who would have know?
