Are we grouping digestive, endocrine, and immune system glands together?

My three friends, Pancreas, Sweat, and Sebaceous. (Actually, Pancreas counts as two, since he's an endocrine and exocrine kinda guy.)

Okay, Bob, I'm getting far too into this. This isn't some kind of cockeyed medical come-on, is it?

I used to call my best friend's intensely unlikeable and very obese sister-in-law a "walking, talking sebaceous gland." It was my favorite insult and it used to piss her off no end.[ December 03, 2003, 09:50 PM: Message edited by: Ralphie ]

I'm not great at naming specific glands and their functions, but I'd like to point out they've played an important role in some very familiar quotations:[ December 03, 2003, 10:14 PM: Message edited by: sndrake ]

Can't you see that without the meibomian glands we would be a civilization of the blind leading the blind?

Let's not forget the memetic gland, where all of these crazy gland-memes come from.

Bob_S, do you have IM at work? (have to ask here because your listed e-mail doesn't work). I'm SO bored and want a conversation.
