The face of testicular pain:
Doctors at Queen’s University thought they were going nuts when they saw what appeared to be the outline of a man’s face staring back at them in an ultrasound image of a tumor.
“It was very ghoulish, like a man screaming in pain. His mouth was open and it looked like one eye was gouged out,” said Dr. Naji Touma, a professor at Queen’s University Medical School and urologist at Kingston General Hospital in Canada.
The ultrasound was taken in 2009, after a man complained of discomfort. A 6 cm. growth, a benign tumor, was the result of an infection. The testicle was removed.
The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans used animal-shaped waterspouts, named gargoyles, designed to convey rainwater from a roof and away from a building, so as to avoid erosion of the mortar between the wall’s stones.
During the 12th century, when gargoyle spouts appeared on Cathedral-roofs in Europe, the Catholic Church was growing stronger and converting many, mostly illiterate, pagans. Therefore images were very important to convey ideas.
In this medieval world many of these creatures had mystical powers, such as absorbing the demonic energies surrounding the church, but also emotional human qualities were ascribed to them. Using these ideas helped conversion to Catholicism.
