I remember a story that a cardiologist saw a close-up of Giamatti on TV, and noticed something that disturbed him...IIRC it was his fingernails. He attempted to reach Giamatti to tell him to get to the ER, but the message wasn't relayed in time. This is from my memory of the time, so I may be full of shit.

For over 30 years, he’s made it a point to call his friend when Road House is on to let him know Patrick Swayze is railing his wife against a wall. Not just Bill Quote “Every time Road House is on and [Bill Murray] or one of his idiot brothers are watching TV—and they’re always watching TV—one of them calls my husband and says… ‘Kelly’s having sex with Patrick Swayze right now. They’re doing it. He’s throwing her against the rocks.’ … Mitch was just walking out the door to the set, and he said that Bill once called him from Russia.” Kelly Lynch in The AV Club When asked to clarify which of Bill Murray’s siblings were calling her husband during the Road House sex scene, Lynch answered, “All of them! Joel has called; Brian Doyle has called. They will all call! Any and all of them!” She added that the Murrays were so dedicated to the pranks that the brothers would even rewatch the film during back-to-back marathons. “And God help me when AMC’s doing their Road House marathon, because I know the phone is just going to keep ringing,” Lynch said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s 2 or 3 in morning. ‘Hi, Kelly’s having sex with Patrick Swayze right now…'” Edited March 17, 20241 yr by Dennis Taylor

March 17, 20241 yr The first ever description of a dinosaur fossil had been by Robert Plot, first director of the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford in his Natural History of Oxford-shire of 1677. It was the distal end of a femur and had been found in the village of Cornwell in Oxfordshire. Plot gave an excellent drawing of the bone, but identified it as the thigh bone of a human giant. (Every paleontology student also knows that in 1772, the naturalist Richard Brookes turned Plot's figure upside down and, noting a startling resemblance to male genitalia, gave it its first formal name: Scrotum humanum. Probably because of this notoriety, the original specimen has long since disappeared. @Pods Edited March 17, 20241 yr by Biff Tannen

The original is missing, so we can't be sure, but it's probably the distal end of a Megalosaurus thigh bone, where it meets the knee.
