Last week I woke up at night with belly laughter, uncontrollable like rapid machine gun belly laughter. Tonight I woke up with hiccups, uncontrolled hiccups and some farts. I listened to this podcast and all stopped with only one hiccup after about 14 minutes. Then near the end of the podcast I thought of something funny and I started to hiccup and fart again. Then when the thought of what was funny had passed it all started to resolve itself.

Boiled eggs. My mother taught me for boiled eggs is once it reaches a boil let them cook for about a minute or two, turn off the heat then immediately put a lid on for about 5 to 10 minutes then rinse with cold water for about a minute and the shell peels off easily.

Hi Doctors :) Did anyone get back to you about the period nosebleeds? I’m only just catching up on episodes so I was listening to this one last night and immediately thought she was talking about a bleeding disorder named Von Willebrand Disorder/Disease, which I have. One of the symptoms is nosebleeds, my symptoms are worse during my period. Thought I would throw that out there so the lady can ask her GP for a blood test to check on her levels and then see a hematologist if anything pops up. Have a great week!

Hey Dr Karl I read your books and i think they are awesome because of the questions. Also it has so much information.

Pushed apart or pulled apart? Could the perfect vacuum of infinite space beyond the 'sphere' of the observable universe be exerting a force of attraction on matter within the relatively congested, lesser vacuum of Big Bang-contaminated space? And if so, might this infinite, perfect vacuum contribute to the accelerating expansion of the observable universe?
