I just found out about the omentum. This is the one thing in the human body I was not expecting... as I had missed the Oprah show where Dr. Oz clued in the rest of the world. Can you say GROSS??? Basically its a curtain of fat and fascia that hangs like a big apron over your stomach and intestines... protecting all of your abdominal cavity from trauma (since it's not protected by ribs). Folks, this was the first day I was disgusted to be human. Lets just say that the one Dr. Oz is holding up doesn't do it justice. Basically, imagine an afghan made out of "fat" yarn. With blobs. I just wanted to take the scalpel to myself! Best diet ever? Anatomy lab, abdominal cavity dissection. Oh, it was so so so wrong.
