    Just wondering, does anyone else have the problem of their epiglottis being unreliable? As in, you'll swallow something (on purpose or accidentally), but it'll end up going down the wrong tube? I find that happening to myself all the time, mostly with hot liquids such as coffee, or my own saliva. In fact, I rarely drink hot liquids anymore for that specific reason; high likelihood I'll choke on it. I dunno, it just seems like a "You had ONE job!" moment on the part of the epiglottis.
     
    For those of you wondering, the epiglottis is a small flap of tissue that covers the trachea (windpipe) when you swallow to send the material to the stomach, as opposed to the lungs. Here's a diagram:

     
    Its SOLE purpose is to close off the trachea when you swallow. You'd think it could do it right!

    Hello and welcome to my head! Lotsa random whatnot happens in here, so don't say you weren't warned!
     
    Well, this is the 1st post on this blog, and I figure I'll start it off by telling you guys what to expect. Basically, I'll be putting some of the random things that pop into my head from time to time in here. Could be significant events, some new idea I'd like to promote, the ridiculous happenings of a recent TF2 match, whatever really. But, I'll make sure it's not just random gibberish. A solid topic to frame something on is, after all, the skeleton of a cohesive statement.
     
    Well, that should suffice for this 1st post. I'll let you guys know when I think of something important, K? Until then, remember that Rubidium and water DO NOT mix well.
