As Fall television shows return (YAY!) and lame summer shows end (YAY!), I’m really looking forward to House M.D. For those who haven’t watched it and love sarcasm and critical thinking (sarcasm and critical thinking are usually hand-in-hand), you should; but not for the crazy mumbo jumbo medicine they throw at you or for the quirky remarks Dr. House entails on his group of minions, but to count the number of times the cast uses “Lupus.” In previous seasons, Lupus was always used in every episode–but it never is Lupus. Let’s count how many times Lupus is brought up; and at the end of the season, the winner gets a cookie unless they decide to use a new disease (dun dun DUN!!).
If you have no idea what Lupus is, here is a brief explanation. If you require in-depth explanation, please refer to thaimarathon.com, thearthritispainreliever.com or if you prefer, wikipedia.org.
