Welcome to ...
The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

Medical terminology named after Nazis
Surprisingly, there are a good half-dozen medical eponyms that come
from Nazi doctors who performed experiments on unwilling human subjects
or used bodies of executed prisoners in their work — often in the course
of discovering the very things that now bear their names. Clara cells,
for instance, are a type of cell that lines small airways in your lungs.
They're named for Max Clara, who discovered them by dissecting executed political prisoners.
