Sigh. Oh well, here we go again. I've just searched Medline on Sun Dec 26 23:56:07 1993. [Incidentally, the Medline database I'm using lists citations from 01/01/89 - 12/07/93.]

Using the key words "anus" and "rodent", I get the following citations:

>1. Jackson KA; Topping DL.

I don't see any article of relevance here.

There are 727 citations with the keyword "gerbil." If I include the keyword "anus" there are zero citations. If I do a search on "gerbil" and "rectum" I get:

>1. Kawagoe J; Abe K; Kogure K.

So, it looks bad for our would-be pro-gerbils here.

-Oh: Is the actor in question (in everyone else's version of the u.l. -Richard Gere? Just want to be sure our rumors agree.

He's as good as any.
